Beautiful hike along the lava river at the Taal Volcano. For transportation you may ask a local fisherman. Water is really warm. Full review by Venture43158466862

Spectacular views from the lookouts and driving down but you cannot climb anymore. I skipped the.boat ride because I thought wasn't worth it Full review by Elio C
Hi, I’d like to go for the day from Manila with my family of 5 (3 kids from 8 to 15). I’d prefer a private tour/guide but don’t want to spend gazillions...

Hi there, The cheapest way is to rent a car & use Waze to get there. Once there you just need to pay for the boat ride to the island about 2000 pesos for the boat for everyone. Then a horse ride up the volcano is another 500 pesos person at the ticket counter on Taal island. There is no need for tour guide as everyone speaks English plus it is just a volcano attraction there. So just buy the tickets and ask around to get around. Only be prepared to haggle to get a good deal. Plus to avoid the heat try to get there early or late afternoon.
Hi all, I want to trek to the Volcano but I am a solo traveler. Is there any tour company that creates groups to visit this place instead of me paying a very expensive fare? As well, I have read about the heat and lack of shade, so is there any company that goes there quite quite early to beat the chaos and the heat. Cheers Julian

Best to contact a local travel agent handling domestic tours or the Dept. of Tourism .
Hi again, I was a bit unclear asking the previous question - I want to take a weekend trip to climb Taal and Pinatubo. I would land around 5am on Wednesday and - hopefully - go back at 8pm on Thursday (yes yes, not your typical weekend, well, i have atypical schedule). As far as I know, Pinatubo takes longer, so I would do Taal on the second day - do you think it’s possible to go early in the morning (from Manila), hike to the top and back, and go back to Manila (not hiking, by bus or Jeep or...?) and be at the airport at 6pm? If so, where do I take that transportation, how long does it take, and how much does it cost? Also, how long does the hike take?

It is possible to do that if there is no traffic. We hired “Tourist Driver” but his booking clearly states that you must not be flying out for the next 15 hours on the day of the tour. If all goes well and you start your journey before 6am, you should be at the airport by 3pm using tollways on the return. If you hire a private car, Your driver should adjust the tour start time to ensure you make your flight
Hi! How to get there from Manila? And how long does it take to hike and go back to Manila again? (I’m wondering if a weekend trip will be enough)

Our drive from Manila to Tagaytay took 2 hours as traffic was light. The boat ride is 30 minutes one way. Our trek to the top of the volcano with a 15 minute stop at the top for photographs and then back to the base was approximately 90 minutes. The boat ride back was just under 30 minutes. It took 2 hours to get back to Manila as traffic was light due to it being a public holiday and our driver used the tollways. So the entire trip with a 15 minute stop at Tagaytay ridge and a 30 minute lunch break took just under 8 hours.
