I was looking for something unique that was kind of close to Manila and stumbled across this. Perfect.
I booked at 11:00 at night and Carlo was there at 5:20am as promised. Wow, great service.
It's a two hour ride south to the Taal lookout. Awesome. Lots of scenery along the way. Carlo is an extremely safe driver, and made appropriate pit stops. Patient, friendly and conversational the entire time.
A ride down the mountain to the dock where a tour guide, Van, and a pilot, Runell, loaded us into an outrigger and drove us around the ACTIVE VOLCANO, providing commentary all along the way. Although the water was choppy the boat was pretty stable. If you're adventurous this is great, if not, this might not be for you. My scaredy cat girlfriend made it through the two hour boat ride just fine. It was very beautiful, pretty fun, and unique.
Altogether an eight hour adventure. Drop off back at my hotel.
Glad I did this.
