Taal volcano tour, smallest volcano yet most active

Considered the smallest and the lowest volcano in the world is Philippine's Taal Volcano. It is only 1050 feet above sea level. It may be small but also the 2nd most active volcano in the country.

Over an hour away from Manila, depending on traffic, Talisay Batangas is the gateway to Taal Volcano.

A motorized boat boarded to cross the lake. An island in the middle of the lake is the Taal Island where local villages live.



There are 2 ways to climb and see the crater.

1. Horse ride



2. Hiking



Hiking Taal Volcano is easy even for a non-experienced hiker. It is only 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your pace. The best time to hike is early morning because the trail is directly facing the sun, expect to sun bathe.

Notoriously dusty and hot, it’s by far one of the most popular active volcanoes known worldwide.

What makes Taal Volcano unique is the fact that the volcano itself has a lake of its own inside its crater which is called the "Crater Lake."




Surrounding the volcano and the lake is the magnificent view of the mountains circling the island, it’s a feast to the eyes and great for photography.



A simplified way to understand this wonder is to pay Taal Volcano a visit.
