Take a leisurely two-hour drive through the countryside, passing through coastal villages, rice fields, fruit orchards and coconut plantations en route to the cool climate of Tagaytay. This popular summer retreat beckons those who live in Manila.
Here, you'll view the smallest volcano in the world -- Taal Volcano. Taal Volcano is best described as a volcano within a lake within a larger volcano. Nestled in a secluded corner of Tagaytay Ridge, about 2,250 feet above sea level, is the timelessly modern and very beautiful Taal Vista Hotel. Enjoy lunch here among stupendous views.
On the way back to the port, enjoy a panoramic tour of the Intramuros district – The Old Walled City. Discover the charm of Old Manila as you pass by into the time-honored walls of Intramuros, built during the Spanish colonial period, then passing Rizal Park and the Manila Cathedral.
Please Note: Mt Taal is an active volcano and erupts frequently; participate at your own risk.
