this video is brought to you by squarespace
we are taking a break from the busy city of cebu so yesterday we hopped on a local bus
and three and a half hours later we arrived in the small coastal town of moalboal there are so
many exciting things to do here but the first thing on our list is canyoneering if you don't
know what that is we'll basically be maneuvering around the canyon we'll be climbing boulders we'll
be swimming and we'll be jumping off cliffs so come and join us for this exciting adventure
we're going to do the canyoning awesome this is our ride for the
morning oh we're going to fit all three of us here
is my hand okay here here yeah yeah so sweet let's go
good morning
how are you feeling getting really excited now not tired anymore another kind of transportation yeah
how long is the tour it depends upon us okay depends upon our pace
how long you stand there too scared to jump
well we might be there all day then no problem we have plenty of time until tomorrow
so we have seven major jumps and they are three to ten meters high
so these activities include trekking swimming and jumping off canyons
thank you so much for listening and now proceed to
your adventure thank you you can follow your guide wow thank you
yeah we never go head first like this this is new so so far everything feels
super organized we have to sign two consent forms we had a safety briefing so i'm feeling
pretty confident about this you know no no me now you look very confident
this is scary already we haven't gone anywhere okay
get up on your feet this is scary
so now we have to walk up these steps for a little bit it's not that long but
i'm out of breath and it's getting hot so i'm really excited to jump in the water
that looks delicious sweet potato sweet potato skewers oh look good the fried noodles look
good too but uh we better not eat anything yet you're about to jump i might waste it
however there's a jollibee in the middle
we're not jumping from here though we're gonna go
down a little a little further this is a bit too high we don't have a parachute
wow you can see how clear the water is from here
don't think about it and just jump it all right easy let's do it let's do it so mico just told
us that the whole trail from the start to finish is eight kilometers long but we already did the
zip line which was 1.5 kilometers so we still have around six and a half kilometers of ground
to cover through the canyon oh i didn't think it would get this deep like i can't touch the ground
okay the first jump is just over there and mico said we have five jumps and the last jump is
unlimited so we'll see how we feel wow this is the first jump i thought you would like ease us in a
bit and start with a smaller jump we go gradually from smallest to highest this is small already
you got it you gotta let go of his hand three two one
nice
i feel like this is quite a challenge for us like mentally
now my adrenaline is pumping oh there's like a mini waterfall here
i think this is absolutely perfect setting to be doing canyoneering
the water is clear the limestone is nice this is the ultimate marriage test
we're jumping off the cliff together
this is one of the highest activities we wanted to do highest on our list we're ready
it was so scary together yeah so we're not going to do that again i love you though
mahal kita
what is it it's amazing in philippines mico is not just our tour guide he is also
a very good uh photographer he's always got the photo spot ready for us
so now what does it mean i don't trust you i don't trust you i don't think it's awesome
real quick when we're not out filming and stuffing our faces with delicious food
we are busy working on behind the scenes work and we recently launched a new website that was built
using squarespace with hundreds of customizable settings like font and color we have had a lot of
fun trying them out before finally deciding on the look and feel that was right for us
it's also been super easy to add new content and in this case we added a new shop so please check
out our new merch that's designed by note we are still tweaking and improving our website but it's
been a breeze being able to make small changes on the go using the squarespace app just head over to
squarespace.com for a free trial and when you're ready to launch go to squarespace.com/floraandnote
to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain now let's get back to jumping off cliffs
so we have a little break here as we uh swim through this part to go to the next jumping
point i'll just quickly mention the cost for canyoneering so it cost us 1500 pesos
for a person and we added another 500 pesos to do the ziplining so 2000 pesos each can you do
this anywhere else in the philippines no uh it's only in cebu south of cebu
there's no other canyoneering that's why you see people from
many different countries coming here this place is absolutely amazing
so to do this tour you don't really need to know how to swim but you kind of need
to be physically fit because there's a lot of climbing and hiking yeah so uh come prepared
wasn't joking there is actually someone selling grilled chicken chicken sausage
pork and chicken intestine delicious i'm so hungry even though we had breakfast but i am so hungry
from all the climbing what do we have here how do you choose because they're selling the same
thing i feel bad if i pick one over the other one chicken one sausage one pork one chicken intestine
and three waters should we just sit here sit there are the vendors from the same family or no
they're almost same family almost yeah they are living in one place so whatever whatever money
they make is combined no different family but how come they don't sell different things i don't know
you want to try this chicken intestine
my friend did tell me to try this he said this is really good
that's delicious i like this more than pork intestine pork intestine is too creamy for me
this one is very chewy and delicious
this one is really high no i'm not sure if it was a good idea that i ate so much
wow
you got this
oh my god
you can't turn back now flora is taking some time now because it is very very high i'm not sure if
you can tell from the camera but in real life it's
super high i'm probably gonna have trouble jumping too
i honestly didn't think i'd be this scared but it looks so scary because you have to jump out
okay
i'm shaking still oh my gosh i'm so proud of you i'm proud of you babe you did it
oh my goodness there's still 10 meters wait you're shaking yeah you're scared i am
i got like a little panic attack after really
i didn't think i would be scared i'm not usually scared i think you should hold the camera
breathe deep breath deep breaths
you're okay you did great
seven
meters or eight meters you have 10 meters ahead of us all right okay let's go
we need more than hopes and wishes for us to make it through the night final jump
this is the last jump of our tour here 10 meters
i'm gonna do it in style yeah i'm gonna go first you got this babe
this one step forward okay it's an easy jump okay hold it have your arms when you go down yeah okay
three two one
oh
did the straps go up your butt my strap pretty much tucked my packet up
i think my intestine is already up my chest now
oh wow that was so scary you didn't hesitate at all me mm-hmm so proud of you
we are back at our hotel now let me catch you up on what happened after our last jump we continued
on and we walked towards kawasan falls which is the end point of our tour it is a beautiful
waterfall and from there we had another 15-minute hike to go back to the highway where we'll be
picked up and then it was only a two-minute drive to get back to the kawasan canyoneering
headquarters where they prepared a huge lunch for us we had fried chicken we had noodles we
had spring rolls or lumpia it was all so good and we devoured everything because we were so hungry
since everything is still fresh in our minds we have two tips we want to share with you guys
the first one is to bring cash because there will be some local vendors selling some food and drinks
that you might want to try the second one is if you don't have a dry bag a gopro or some wet shoes
don't worry because you can rent everything at the office we had the most amazing day we want
to say thank you to mico from kawasan canyoneering for taking us on this awesome adventure so if you
are coming to cebu make sure to add this to your list thanks again for watching and as always have
a wonderful day we'll see you in the next one bye-bye bloopers mico why do we have to wear
helmets again because there's sometimes lots of crazy monkey around the mountain they're gonna
throw us a stone so we protect our head from the stone really yeah it's true can i throw rocks back
okay
is
we were so young baby
