Explore Taal Volcano on a Scenic Boat Tour Around Taal Lake

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Taal Volcano, one of the Philippines' most iconic and active volcanoes. This guided tour offers convenient hotel pickup and drop-off from Manila, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the area's natural beauty and fascinating history, including the dramatic 2020 eruption.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable drive to the Taal Volcano ridge in Tagaytay City, where your knowledgeable guide will share insightful commentary on the 2020 eruption that sent ash plumes as far as Manila, forcing over 150,000 residents to evacuate. As a result, Taal remains one of the country’s most active and closely monitored volcanoes. On the way, stop at the government-owned Tagaytay Picnic Grove, situated 665 meters above sea level. From this scenic park, you'll enjoy one of the most breathtaking frontal views of Taal Volcano, where the illusion of the volcano rising majestically from the lake below creates a truly mesmerizing sight. Your driver will ensure you capture the perfect photo with the volcano as your backdrop, making this an unforgettable moment on your journey.

Upon arrival at Taal Lake, join a small group tour (2 to 5 people) for an intimate boat ride, led by a local boat guide who will point out significant sites on Volcano Island. Get an up-close view of the steaming volcano and learn about the ongoing volcanic activity, as Taal is currently under Alert Level 1 according to Phivolcs, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Take in stunning panoramic views of the lake, Volcano Island, and the surrounding landscape, offering plenty of opportunities for photos and relaxation before returning to your hotel, enriched with knowledge of Taal's powerful natural forces and rich history.
