Fabulous tour, our guide, Allan, made the day fun and interesting. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the way of life in the Philippines. The views of Taal volcano were amazing! The canoe ride to the falls was so much fun, the guys work really hard to get you up the rapids and guiding you back down. The bamboo raft which took us under the waterfall was brilliant. Take a change of clothes and a towel as you will get very wet! Fabulous day, great experience

Flor was a gracious tour guide and epitomized the Filipino hospitality I’ve come to know in my short stay in the Philippines. Our boat guides whose name elude me were amazing as well. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a bit of adventure off the beaten path of Manila.

Highlights

  • Zip down the rapids toward the falls
  • Swim in the cold water of the magnificent Pagsanjan Falls
  • See the steaming Volcano Island from the Panoramic Ridge of the city of Tagaytay
  • Go within 3 km of the volcanic danger zone where this volcano erupted in 2020
  • Learn facts about the most recent eruption as you approach this active volcano

Full description

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.
