Manila

It was a hectic day in the Baguio Victory Liner terminal on December 29, 2025. Although the line was long for online redemption of tickets, it was still easy and efficient. Departure time to Pasay was 3:40 pm, we actually departed 3:50 pm, so still within my on-time allowances. We only stopped once and arrived in Pasay terminal around 5 hours and 45 minutes.

The bus did not arrive on time for the 7am trip. I waited for 20-30min but it's fine. The travel was smooth as the bus uses the edsa carousel lane and it only took me less than an hour to reach cubao.

This will be our 3rd time with Joselito the driver of klook ATR rent a car that we went to Subic and Moa Vikings Yesterday and pick me up at the NAIA airport during my arrival dated Dec.6, 2025. I recommended to everyone to contact him by klook, you feel comfortable during your trip. He always on time like American time not Filipino time.

Unlike before, when zombies used to swarm you upon arrival at the Caticlan to Batangas Port, it was nice that the zombies were gone. It seems like they improved the environment. It's good that tourists can now use it comfortably.

-Driver messaged a few hours prior to assigned pick up time and was 30-min early; unit assigned was an MPV, good for party of 3 with 4 big luggages; driver was courteous and careful.

we were the only 2 participants on that day so it felt like a private tour. driver arrived earlier to pick us up at meet up point so we set off to start the 2.5hrs car ride to the riverside. arrived at Aria where we were greeted by the friendly staff Ms. Angela and her team. lunch was pretty good! korean banchan, rice, meat and soup! The place is equipped with lockers, very clean toilet and changing rooms. leave your change of clothes here, bring water/gopro and your waterproof bag (dont lose your waterbottle else it becomes trash on the river)put on lifejacket and helmet, and we were off! hitched a ride upstream passing fishermen, ducks and beautiful waterfalls, and watched the very skillful boatmen manoeuvre our bangka (canoe) between the rocks and fighting against rapids! arrived at the falls, rode out to nature “car wash” on a bamboo raft, that was absolute fun!! swam for a bit in the cave behind the waterfall too! it was a good break out of the bustling manila city, recommended!

Booking Hotel H2O through Klook is very convenient and significantly more affordable. The package we selected included a breakfast buffet and complimentary access to the Waterpark, which normally costs ₱400 for day-use. We chose the Aqua Room, and it was definitely worth it and the cheapest. Please note that the Waterpark closes at 6:00 PM and other attractions is at 7pm so it’s best to arrange dinner ahead of time or order through Foodpanda or GrabFood. I also recommend booking the Ocean Park, Biodome, and their new Digital Art attraction via Klook, as the prices are noticeably cheaper than walk-in rates. During our second night, Bagyong Uwan was at its peak, causing fluctuating electricity, but the hotel handled the situation well and remained comfortable.
