- How do we get there? ...
Answer: There are numerous options available for everyone.
For those driving you can take the South Superhighway, also
known as "The Sky Way", and exit at the Santa Rosa turn
off. Hang a right after paying your toll (less than US$1)
and you're 20 minutes from Tagaytay. Alternatively you can
take the Coastal Road through Cavite, a wee bit longer journey
but lots of sights to see. You can also take the BLTB buses
from Pasay, Metro Manila having a destination signboard
of Nasugbu or Balayan. Both services are frequent and ply
the route to Tagaytay City. Click
here for directions and map.
Hiring a private automobile, or an FX (a van like taxi)
with a driver included with both options, is probably the
overseas visitors best bet. An all day booking will take
you to your hotel, then run you around to all the Tagaytay
sights as well and will only set you back about US$25. Click

Answer: Yes. Taal is reputed to be the world's smallest
and yet most active of volcanoes. Thirty three eruptions
have been recorded since 1572 at Taal, mostly on Volcano
Island. The impacts of these eruptions were largely confined
to the intracaldera area. Click

- What accommodations are there?
Answer: Like every tourist destination, you have high end
and low end Hotel rooms and restaurants. Tagaytay is no
exception when it comes to prices. For the backpackers and
those on a tight budget there are a few hostels that go
for around US$17 per night. At the high end of the market,
there's the famous Days Inn chain and the Taal Vista Hotels
with rack rates of US$100 and up per night.
Middle of the price range rooms go between $45 and $75 per
night depending on whether or not you have a room that overlooks
Taal. However for little more than the cost of a hostel,
you can enjoy a deluxe hotel room with breathtaking views
of Taal volcano. See the best kept secret below.
