From Manila: Taal Volcano Island and Pagsanjan Falls Tour

1. From Manila: Taal Volcano Island and Pagsanjan Falls Tour

Following pickup from your hotel in Manila, head straight to the Taal Volcano ridge in Tagaytay City for the Taal Volcano eruption sightseeing tour. Taal Volcano suddenly erupted at 2:36 PM on Sunday, January 12, 2020, forcing all to flee from the island. For the next 24 hours, ashes coming from the crater traveled all the way to Metro Manila and nearby areas as 150,000 people fled from their homes. Taal Volcano is now considered the most active volcano complex after this eruption. See the devastation firsthand and take in dramatic views of Taal Lake and the steaming Volcano Island from the ridges of Tagaytay City. Visit the front view at the ridge, in the center where the Taal Volcano steams. Enjoy an optional boat ride around the island volcano. Set off on another drive over to the Pagsanjan Falls. From there, your driver will assist you in getting to the paddle raft, which will be manned by two local guides. Experience a multiple-rapid adventure as you continue toward the falls. Swim to the cave that lies within the magnificent Pagsanjan Falls, feeling refreshed by the cold water. Pagsanjan Falls Rapids is weather dependent and if not passable during heavy rains, an alternative of Vertical Trekking to the Main Falls is provided. Enjoy lunch at your own expense at the oldest restaurant in town.

What people are saying about Luzon, Philippines

This is a must do activity( day trip) in Manila. The taal volcano and its surroundings are lovely and a different experience. The pagsanjan river rowing and waterfall is an experience in itself . The rowers take you up the short rapids for about 45 min before you reach the majestic waterfall. Then the bamboo raft takes you beneath the fall. On return you raft down the gentle rapids. It is safe but be mindful of the sun and long sitting ( about 45 min)in the narrow boat. Our driver cum guide Richard was knowledgeable and came on time for pick up. Advised us on the trip and kept good company during the trip. The car was clean and his driving is safe. Overall worth the time and money spent

Daniel our driver was absolutely wonderful Picking us up in a very comfortable vehicle We enjoyed an unforgettable day visiting the volcano and falls only a few hours from Makati City in Manila. Daniel made it so special by sharing his knowledge and recommendations throughout the day. My husband and two kids ages 7 & 9 would highly recommend this tour. Request Daniel as your driver you will surely feel safe, comfortable & relaxed as well as having a lot of fun. We were very spoilt Hopefully come back again one day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our guide and driver was Richard. He is a very knowledgeable guide and professional driver. The sightseeing part was really spectacular and I recommend it highly. Be expected the river rapids excursion would make you completely wet and the traffic in Manila really sucks!

In one word - WOW!!! We had the best experience with Daniel who was so kind and nice. I am so glad we did this trip Daniel is the best. Answered on all of our questions. Don’t miss this trip

Our guide Richard was fantastic and extremely professional. He took care of us all day, in every aspect of the trip!
