The 15 Best Tagaytay and Taal Volcano Day Trips from Manila

15 reviewed

Taal is a volcano in a lake on an island in a lake, and the Tagaytay ridge is where you see it from. These 15 day trips out of Manila differ in how much of the ridge they cover, whether lunch is included, and whether the boat crossing is running at all — that last one depends on the alert level, so check before you pay.

A full-day small-group tour from Manila to Tagaytay, with jeepney views at Peoples Park, plus Intramuros stops and cathedral sights.

“The tour covered a lot if ground and simplified a lengthy itinerary into multiple fun stops. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to see the countryside. Tagaytay was really beautiful and it was such a change of pace from Manila. It was nice seeing the market, some of the farms and most of all I loved the People's Park in the Sky. You get this amazing view of the volcanic lake and can see all the way to Manila an hour away. The guide Mark seemed to know everything about each spot and gave some very interesting history of the country in each. It was very comfortable,…”

By the the time we arrived at the docking port the wind had picked up the sun was out and u can feel the heat. Guess we just got in the beat time before the summer heat catches on. We stopped…”
