An Aussie tourist had a hilarious reaction to seeing a waterspout approaching a packed beach in the Philippines.

Dozens of holidaymakers watched the tornado-like waterspout whirl across the sea after it suddenly appeared on a beach earlier today (September 20) at 4pm.

Holidaymakers were on the sand in Subic Bay when huge grey clouds filled the sky.

A swirling mass began circling in the distance as the long thin waterspout reached down into the water and started ''getting bigger and coming here''.

The Australian man is heard saying in the clip: ''It's getting bigger and it's coming this way. Go and have your smoke mate, I'll come out and get you when it arrives.

''S*** it's getting bigger, it's coming here, look at it. That's a tornado, mate. Red, walk out there and see if it sucks you up, Red.

''It's getting closer.''

The Aussie says ''we're going to have to evacuate the hotel'' before one of their friends reassures him that it's ''just a waterspout, it's water getting sucked up''.

The Filipino girl who filmed the video said: "One of my office mates called me out. She said, there was a tornado. I couldn't believe my eyes.

''We don't know if we will panic because it looks like it's far from us. It lasted for about 20 minutes, and then it moved away until we can't see it any longer.''

This is the hilarious moment a panicked Aussie tourist sees what he thinks is a tornado - before saying ''go and have your smoke mate. I'll come out and get you when it arrives''.
