Hiking TAAL VOLCANO Philippines

If you are heading to Tagaytay, one of the things that you definitely can’t miss is hiking Taal Volocano and enjoying the views from the top. Taal Volcano is the second most active volcano in the Philippines. Tagaytay is a very popular destination in the Philippines because of the good weather. The weather in Tagaytay is warm during the day but not so warm like in Manila. And at night the temperature goes down, but it’s refreshing without the feeling of it being too cold. So yes — perfect weather

We had so much fun with great activities, and had an amazing time in Tagaytay. If you have been thinking of which places to visit, then hang with us here.

First of all you need to ride a few transportation if you are coming from Manila to reach the starting point for hiking Taal Volcano.

BY BUS

You can get to Tagaytay by bus from Manila. The bus is around $3 for a two-hour journey. There are a few bus stations where you can get the bus: Buendia and Cubao. The two hours bus time are still relative to the traffic in Manila.

Travel Tip: If you go to Taal first thing in the morning, you will find much less traffic than traveling in peak hours.

BY JEEPNEY

The bus will stop in La Rotonda in Tagaytay. If you are heading to Taal Volcano, you will need to ride a jeepney to Olivares. And from Olivares you have to get another jeepney stopping at People’s Park. And from People’s Park, there is no more jeepney option. You will need to get a tricycle (7 kilometers ride for $4) until Talisay Bay, where you can ride a boat to the crater lake Volcano. For this trip, we went to Precious Boat Station.

BOAT

You can ride a boat  from Precious Boat Station (around 10-15 minutes) to start hiking Taal Volcano. You have two choices try to hire a boat there or you can book in advance. Prices for the boat are starting PHP 1500-2000.
