Program details

Day1 – Villa Escudero Coconut Plantation Tour: This convenient, refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life is your chance to recharge your batteries. Enjoy a variety of fun filled activities in the rural setting of the Escudero Coconut Plantation. About a two hour drive south of Metro Manila, this quaint, historic villa is set amidst a pastoral grove inside a coconut plantation, a picturesque showcase of old plantation life. Guests will tour the plantation on board a carabao drawn cart while serenaded by a native band.



This resort villa also has its own museum which houses the family’s vast collection of historic, religious and cultural artifacts, some dating back to pre-Hispanic times. The highlight of the day is sitting down to a sumptuous lunch served beneath a man-made dam. Feel free to immerse your feet in the cool rushing waters from a nearby lagoon. A swim in Villa Escudero’s spring-fed pools will complete this memorable visit.



Day2 - Taal Volcano Trekking Tour: Visit the world’s smallest volcano, Taal Volcano. Located on the edge of a 30 kilometer wide caldera, Tagaytay City is about an hour and half outside of Manila. The volcanic crater was created over 100,000 years ago and the city provides breathtaking panoramic views of Taal Lake. You will enjoy a peaceful picnic on the lake shore before taking quick boat ride to Volcano Island. Riding on horseback along black lava flows, you will reach the spectacular viewpoint overlooking Crater Lake and Vulcan Point.
