SEARCHING PARADISE in the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 Travel Documentary

Join me on a six-week adventure across the stunning islands of the Philippines as I set out on a journey to discover the country’s hidden paradises in my new travel documentary, Searching Paradise in the Philippines. From the bustling streets of Manila, where old meets new, to the tranquil, powdery sands of Boracay, this trip took me through the country’s most iconic landscapes and cultural gems. Every day was a new adventure, filled with vibrant local life, incredible food, and unforgettable people.
In Cebu, I took to the open roads on a motorbike, riding through emerald green landscapes and taking in the freedom of island life. The pinnacle of the journey was reaching the summit of Mt. Apo in Mindanao, where the views were as breathtaking as the climb itself. Each destination seemed to surpass the last, and my journey finally culminated in a remarkable six-day sailing expedition from Palawan to Coron on a traditional wooden sailing boat, where turquoise waters and untouched islands painted a true paradise.
If you’re looking for travel inspiration, or simply a break from the everyday, come with me to the Philippines and experience the incredible sights, sounds, and spirit of these islands. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or dreaming of your first adventure, Searching Paradise in the Philippines will take you deep into the heart of this tropical wonderland and leave you with a piece of paradise to carry wherever you go.

I’m falling in love in my own country ❤Thank you so much for showing the Beautiful Philippines.Soon we will visit again.I love palawan
I never thought I would be interested in mountain hiking in the Philippines but now its on my bucket list due to this video.
Thanks for showing the beauty of the Philippines.
this video deserves more views than it currently has. also, I like the fact that you used the local singer's song in your video 6:08. I'm sure the singer appreciates it very much – free promo for him. God bless.
I love vlogs like this. Very nice video as it covers Luzon, Visayaz & Mindanao…but it's too long. I have to stop watching it now coz I need to go to supermarket. I will continue later. Watching from Riyadh.
❤
when was this? i was there a week ago and there was no green stuff in the sea, in boracay
No Angeles city paddy tut tut😅
Seeing you in the forest on the mountain, you will love it here in NZ!
Hi Paddy, no mention of mosquitos? Is that a problem? Particularly at night in the huts.
Beautiful Filipino song mate.😊

the good thing about in the Philippines forests, we do not have big cats, mountain lios or tigers, we do not have that so most likely you are safe. Except of course some venomous spiders or snakes which is normal anywhere but not compared to Amazon jungle. Generally, it is safe.
This bloke again? I remember watching the original videos. He's too refined for Philppines, it ain't for you!
I have been watching 1/4 of the video and it looks amazing. The storyline represents the beauty and the uniqueness of places that makes it interesting for the audience to try and visit these places. But hold on there’s more yet to watch, i will decide once completed watching the video. Thanks for this compilation. It’s not only interesting but full of information for first time travellers and nomads alike
Welcom and Thank you Paddy Doyle!
i hope you visit balabac, palawan and calayan island, cagayan.
I finished the whole video .. Amazing vlog & documentary…
It's a shame you didn't go to kawasan Falls Paddy because it's not just a waterfall it's a 4-hour canyoning experience down a crystal clear blue River it's hard to explain but it's like being in Eden or some kind of paradise is how I felt anyway and you start the tour with a kilometre long flying fox experience
If have been to the Philippines in 2023. Unfortunately i was not able to enjoy it to the fullest as my mother just past away. I really wanne go back and enjoy the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen!. I travelled solo from the Philippines to Borneo and Indonesia. I Truly love this video ❤
Hi! Wonderful video! Can you tell me which accommodation you rented in El Nido?
He seems to tolerate the rain. I for one love the Visayan rain
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The book of Genesis is all about the first creation of God the garden of Eden where first man Adam and eve live,Adam means father of Earth and Eve means mother of all livings,the garden of is in the far East Asia which is now the Philippines,the garden of Eden,
Wow, wow, wow what an awesome adventure. Absolutely loved it ❤
Thank you again for giving me so much joy to watch your video. Stunning. You are the best!
Lets go to Philippines❤
paddy can you tell me the song used during the moalboal intro? thank buddy…keep the videos coming!
Thanks for this 🙂
"Things to do in 2025" … Watch all Three hours of this vid (-: PS. I've only been to Cebu for a week … Let's just say I was very glad to return to Thailand …. But yes, much more to the the Phillipines than Cebu … Will return one day
Paddy, sorry to be contradicticontradictive to many others.
I don't have the time to watch a 3 hour video.
Do you have a 2nd channel with shorter edited versions?
This is one of the best video i ever watched of a travel blogger. Good job Paddy-from Mexico👍☺️❤️❤️❤️
the music is a love song but the video is contradicting😅 its cute though😂
The window in the raincoat is so your whole family can see and remain dry. We have the best memories in Boracay since 2010. It’s how we got addicted to SE Asia. Where else can you go to the ferry terminal (Bohol) and end up in the middle of a pop up Mass with communion and a collection plate. True story. Filipinos are the happiest people on earth regardless of being some of the least financially wealthy. Check out Camiguin Island if you want pure white sand.
I’m 68yo. I want to do the Tao Experience before I turn 70. Maybe on my 69th birthday. ❤😂 Thank you Paddy for a great “ documentary.”
Thank you for this great adventure Paddy 👍🏼
This video was very well done!
after watching this i think adidas sponsored his adventures in the philippines lol just kidding..😂
WOW Been there! Did not do and see what you did. Not sure I would have gone on the zip line. Great Video as always. Paddy. stay safe be happy in Paradise.
It’s actually 140 million,not just 14 million. 😊
36:43 this is incredible view man 😮 I wish I’m with you this time riding this kind of boat 😂😊
This. This is why we love you Paddy!
Beautiful video. I love the music you used at Leo Beach. It was perfect for that gorgeous scene. Congratulations on summiting the mountain. That's quite an accomplishment.
I just finished watching this video. It's brilliant. One of your best.
I've watched your videos almost from the beginning and I am finally starting my "get rid of everything" stage for a move to Thailand but a trip to the Philippines is definitely in my future.
mountains and beaches
aahhh paddy uploading his old PH videos again that were produced and paid for by philippines gov. Note not one piece of rubbish can be seen in any scenes. All filming sites were cleaned up before he arrived. What a fake
visit the northern luzon philippines it will be a diffrent world . go to vigan , and baguio . go to bohol island for the chocolate hills
I’m surprised you didn’t keep the singing bits in, but I understand why you didn’t 😂
Smashed it out of the park again, dude 👊
great vlog man. i am from the Philippines but i work in the UK so seeing this reminds me of home.
