This is the hilarious moment a lively tour guide became a human drone to record a group's holiday video.

Divine Espinoza and her friends had asked Jan, their guide during a hiking trip, to record them at the Dingalan Aurora Feeder Port in Aurora, the Philippines.

Footage shows the spirited guide extending his arm with a phone close to the tourists as they strike poses on May 31.

Determined to get the perfect aerial-style shots, without a drone, Jan can be seen running toward the group and backing away smoothly, mimicking the movement of a flying camera.

At one point, the energetic worker even curl-rolled on the ground twice, imitating a sky cam's swooping motion, prompting fits of laughter and applause from the hikers.

Divine said: 'Our tour guide was really funny and hands-on when it came to taking pictures and videos. We couldn't get over it.'
