Is Northern Mindanao the official Adventure Capital of the Philippines? 🇵🇭

We definitely think so! In Part 5 of our Luzon to Mindanao road trip series, we put that title to the test. We took a break from the long drive to conquer the most heart-pounding spots in the region.

From screaming our lungs out at the Dahilayan Drop Zone in Bukidnon, to battling the rapids in CDO, and finally cooling down (and snorkeling!) at the Sunken Cemetery in Camiguin—this episode is pure adrenaline.

Watch the full video to see if we survived the Drop Zone! 😱

Part 2 is finally here! Did you think the drive through Luzon was intense? Wait until you see how we got our car across the ocean! 🇵🇭🚗

We are now officially in the Visayas, and this episode focuses on the massive Ro-Ro ferry crossing from Matnog (Sorsogon) to Allen (Northern Samar).

But the stress is 100% worth it! Once we land, we head straight to the hidden gem of the entire journey: the unbelievably unique Biri Island!

You have to see these colossal, wave-carved rock formations to believe they exist in the Philippines. This is Northern Samar's best-kept secret and truly the most unique landscape we've encountered so far.
