About This Tour
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. Enjoy hotel pickup and drop-off from Manila, and learn about Taal’s history, including the dramatic 2020 eruption that sent ash plumes as far as Manila, forcing over 150,000 people to evacuate. Your adventure begins with a drive to Tagaytay City, where you’ll stop at Tagaytay Picnic Grove, 665 meters above sea level. Enjoy breathtaking views of Taal Volcano rising majestically from the lake, and capture the perfect photo with your driver’s help. At Taal Lake, take a small-group boat ride (max of 5 people plus local guide for safety) with a local guide who will point out significant sites on Volcano Island. Get up close to the steaming volcano, learn about its ongoing activity (currently under Alert Level 1), and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the lake and surrounding landscape before returning to your hotel.
