Private 2-in-1 tour from Manila to Taal Volcano views and Pagsanjan Falls rafting, with hotel pickup, small-group pacing, and flexible plans.
“Pagsanjan Falls was the highlight of the tour for me. The canoe ride up the river in the lush canyon was beautiful. Going under the falls was a cool unique experience. The weather wasn't good for the optional boat tour by Taal Volcano. Only in the morning do the boat operators find out if they can go out that day. The tour guide, Daniel, was informative and kind. He answered my many questions about the Philippines and gave me guidance on how to get across the city using oublic transport and Jeepneys. During the drive to Taal Volcano, we stopped at a Starbucks to grab food and use the bathroom.…”
