If we were to do the day trip all over again, I would recommend skipping the trip to Taal Volcano as it took a LONG time to get there and had to be happy with a view of it from afar. The trip to the falls was one of the pilots of our entire 7-week trip to Asia. I wouldn't have wanted to skip that at all, at all, at all. It was that fabulous. The driver was courteous. Prompts punctual and I really appreciated how he pointed out sites for me along the way that I could take pictures of and interesting facts about the country things that I would never have found out otherwise. All in all a great trip!

It was a long day with traffic, but the time on the water made it all worth it. The amount of effort our two guides put in to get us up the rapids was something we had never seen before. 16 in total and they worked so hard in an incredible river cavern with sheer walls and other falls made for an amazing trip. Once at the falls, we enjoyed a bamboo raft journey to the go under the falls which was so invigorating along with a 10 minute hang out in the cave. The trip was long. The time at the Volcanoes was not much and I could have just done the river and falls if that was an option. The driver was professional in a great car. We saw a lot outside of Manila, just be prepared that even with a great driver it still took just 3 hours to go 35 miles. Though the views and experiences you see along the way are very interesting.

This is a great trip, where two locals paddled us up a river to a magnificent waterfall. The river journey goes up 17 rapids and took more than an hour. The locals do all the paddling, navigating, and work--so we were able to take in the wonderful views. We saw Monkeys in the trees, while being paddled through a deep jungled gorge, culminating at a waterfall. We were taken the last 100-yards on a bamboo raft directly through the waterfall into a cave. Fascinating--and wet. We needed the wet because the journey is hot. We spent about three hours in the canoe-like boat.

Our driver and guide was a real pleasure to travel with. He arrived about 30 minutes before the time we agreed to meet. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The car was comfortable and spacious. The tour was well managed, very interesting as well as a lot of fun, especially the Pagsanjan Falls!

The river boat ride to the falls was amazing, beautiful. Just be aware to bring cash as tips are heavily pushed for for each of the two boatmen and they will also try to get you to buy them lunch. All totally worth it but just don't be surprised like we were! Don't miss this experience!!!!
