Highlights
  • Mount Pinatubo - Witness firsthand the ‘Beautiful Disaster’ of the Philippines, as immortalized by a local movie. Situated north of Metro Manila, the constantly active and renowned Mount Pinatubo is known for two main reasons: its mesmerizing allure and the catastrophic 1991 eruption that had global repercussions. The eruption’s ‘lahar,’ or volcanic mudflows, devastated the livelihoods of nearby residents and had a detrimental effect on the region’s tourism.\n\nNow accessible for exploration, an exhilarating hike awaits those who visit Mount Pinatubo. Embark on an adventurous 14 km journey that begins with an enthralling 4 x 4 ride to the trailhead. Gear up to navigate small streams under the intense heat, which, while challenging, only enhances the unique splendor of this trek. A journey to Mount Pinatubo is nothing short of extraordinary!

Overwhelming views! - From beginning to end there was the most beautiful scenery. Even the drive from Manila had gorgeous views of mountains and lakes. JayZ and Vince were very helpful and explained the customs and culture of the area and the people. I did this trip as a solo traveler. I did not have any worries or concerns. This is a must do. It is definitely one of the easier hikes.

Just do it! - I was hesitant to book at first because of the early start of the tour, but it was completely worth it! If you are looking for a day trip out of Manila filled with nature and some adventure, this is an excellent option! The pick up in Manila and the ride there is very smooth and comfortable. Once there, the guides are very helpful to get everything ready to go for the hike. The 4x4 ride and the hike are beautiful! It makes everything worth it. The hike is not difficult, but it does take some time (around 2.5 hrs up). I highly recommend wearing waterproof shoes or sandals instead of sneakers, as there are a lot of rivers to cross and your shoes will get wet! Overall, awesome experience that I assure you won't regret.

Mt. Pinatubo Great Experience - The experience is nice. Get ready for adventurous 4x4 atv drive going to the bottom of Mt. Pinatubo, if you love an adventures you will love this part. As we start trekking my mind is consumed by the breathtaking views, and sceneries that surround us. I felt like it was unreal because it was really beautiful place I had been, my efforts and sweat is all worth it when we reached the crater. It felt like you are in a painting. 10/10 all in all experience❤
