Why the
Taal Volcano
complex is special
It is unique in this world because of the positions of its 5
components: Taal
Volcano, Taal Lake, Volcano Island, Crater Lake, and Vulcan Point.

tips & insights
Near
Manila
Taal
is a popular day trip from Manila. It’s only 50 kilometers (30 miles) away. Taal
is also popular as a summer vacation retreat. The climate is cooler than in
Manila.
Climbing
A
must for adventure travelers is climbing Volcano Island. You take a half-hour
ride in a small boat to the island, then hike (30 to 45 minutes) or horseback
(20 to 25 minutes) up to the ridge for a breathtaking view of Crater Lake.
When
to come, what to wear
During
summer, the sun beats down relentlessly – and there are no shade trees on the
trail to the summit. So plan
an early morning start – and wear sun screen and a broad-rimmed hat.
If
you
are not bent on
climbing Volcano Island
Visit the town of Tagaytay located
on the ridge of Taal Volcano. It has outstanding panoramic views of Taal Lake
and Volcano Island.
