Manila day trip to Mount Pinatubo: 4x4 ride, 6 km hike through lahar canyons, crater-lake picnic, Aeta culture glimpse.

“Very poorly organised. No communication and the guide was clueless and didn’t speak. Started off with a 45 min delay in the morning, got to the location and had to wait for 3 hours for a 4x4. The guide gave us no indication as to why we were waiting around until we all asked her. During the tour we got zero information about the mountain and the local community. we were told that the local guide didn’t speak English though the trip notes said that a guide was included. We walked in silence and left the place none the wiser. We were not told a single thing about it all.…”

Private day hike from Cebu to Osmeña Peak and Kandungaw Peak with 360-degree views, Tañon Strait panoramas, and hotel pickup and drop-off.

“Driver never been to Osmena Peak, his GPS was not working so basically was stopping every 5 mins to ask for directions. All the way, he was playing Bob Marley one love on repeat for 2 hours non stop and making Facebook live videos and sending vocals messages to his followers while driving. Totally unprofessional. When we reached there the weather was so foggy so you can’t see anything but the local guide told me that it’s usually better later in the day so probably the activity should be moved for later in the day.
