Outdoor Activities in the Philippines
Are you a explorer and looking for some fun and exciting activities to enjoy while making your way around the islands? If you’re tired of the same routine every tourist destination you visit and looking for something that’s not only fun but is also a great adrenaline rush, then the Philippines is just the place for some fun sports that offer more than just a lazy day on the beach.
I get asked all the time what different types of outdoor sports and activities you can enjoy on the islands here under the impression that because the Philippines is a developing country there’s not much fun you can have. Is there anything besides island hopping, hiking, fishing, and eating you can do as a Philippine explorer?
Well, you’re about to find out!
Watch this video I made below and get just a small glimpse of all the blood-pumping, heart-pounding, adrenaline-feeding sports and activities in the Philippines you can enjoy. Just like with any place in western countries where you drive expensive cars and have expensive toys believe me when I say if you can do it in your home country, you certainly can do it here in the Philippines as well.
Outdoor Activities in the Philippines
In this video, we’re at the Manila Boat Show. See the range of awesome toys on show, including speed boats, fishing boats, outrigger boats, sea kayaks, inflatable kayaks, paddleboats, wakeboarding boats.
Many people feel the Philippines is a developing country and just because most of the country is in poverty that doesn’t mean it can’t offer the fun and luxury options then you’re used to in your home country. Although the Philippines is, in fact, a developing country that doesn’t mean you can’t find luxury toys and fun as you would in a western country. But as we’ve shown in other posts and videos, the Philippines is an awesome place to hang out.
Sea Kayaks and Paddle Boats
If your looking for a great place to really enjoy the outdoors and want to enjoy some fun in the sun at the same time then going for a cruise on some awesome sea kayaks and paddle boats in the Philippines won’t let you down. Grab your boat paddle or pedal boat and get out there and enjoy all the beauty the Philippine islands has to offer, from rivers crossing through mangroves to the turquoise blue water bays spread all over the islands this is one place that can’t be beaten when it comes to kayaking in paradise.
Speed Boat and Fishing Yachts
There are plenty of places to take a ride on a speed boat or enjoy a fun day out on a fishing boat here in the Philippines, and they are not always small Banca boats either. Right in Manila bay as you can see in the picture above there are plenty of large luxury fishing boats and speed boats just in the city alone. Travel further to other hotspots like Puerto Galera and Subic Bay and you will find many more all waiting to take those Philippine Explorers out for a joy ride and catch some rays.
Inflatable Kayaks and peddle boats
As the two Badladz resorts are in Puerto Galera, we talk a lot about the awesome benefits of Puerto Galera. But Puerto Galera isn’t the only fun place. When you come to the Philippines, you’ll find fun waiting for you at every corner. A few weeks ago, we went to the Manila Boat Show. True to Filipino form, it was a lot of fun. The best bit was the toys. Lots of boats, of course. Speed boats. Wakeboarding boats. Fishing boats. Every size of outboard motor you could imagine. But that’s not all.
There were these awesome inflatable kayaks. If you’ve only ever seen the typical kayak that you need to row, you’ll be amazed by these bad boys. Imagine a kayak that has three methods of propulsion. Sure, you can row. But why would you row when you can peddle, just like a bike? And if the wind is blowing, you don’t have to do a thing. Yes, that’s right, these kayaks have sails!
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in the Philippines
These are some of the greatest outdoor activities in the Philippines. With over 7,000 Islands there are reefs & fish everywhere. You will find thousands of videos, pictures & blogs about it but some of the best is in Puerto Galera where we are at BADLADZ Beach Resort and BADLADZ Staycation Condos. Right on the Beach we are literally minutes from this AWESOME underwater world.
PUERTO GALERA offers all of these activities and more:
