Overview

Begin your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup in Manila, then travel south to the refreshing highlands of Tagaytay.
Your first stop is the picturesque Tagaytay Picnic Grove, perched 665 metres above sea level. Take in sweeping panoramic views of Taal Volcano, dramatically set in the middle of Taal Lake. Your driver will gladly help you capture stunning photos with this iconic natural wonder in the background.

Next, embark on a 2+ hour boat sightseeing tour around Taal Volcano. Although the island itself remains off-limits for safety reasons, you’ll cruise within 10 metres of its shores—close enough to witness sulphur dioxide (SO₂) rising from the main crater. Then, visit a tranquil Korean temple, known for its peaceful ambiance and beautiful surroundings—a perfect way to end your day before heading back to your hotel in Manila.

Activity itinerary

Tagaytay

Following pickup from your hotel in Manila, head straight to the Taal Volcano ridge called Picnic Groove 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 travelled to Metro Manila and nearby areas as 150,000 people fled from their homes.

Lake Taal

  • Admission ticket included
Enjoy the 2+-hour boat sightseeing tour around the active volcano and experience the unique island ten metres from the boat. See the volcano emits Sulphur Dioxide. A total of 18,638 tonnes/day of volcanic sulphur dioxide or SO2 gas emission from the Taal Main Crater was measured every day. Taal has averaged approximately 10,331 tonnes/day for the year and has been continuously degassing voluminous concentrations of SO2 since the eruption 2020. Note that the Island Volcano itself including the Crater is still restricted by the National Government as the Philippine Volcanology raised the eruption Alert to Level 1 until today.
