Mount Batolusong Join In Day Hike from Manila

what a nice service husslefree!thanks a lot! ng enjoy kami..will book next time!🥰

it was my first solo joiner experience and it was worth it 🫶

Nice hiking, medium level. at total all was good, the pick up, transportation etc. Amazing views all day and specific on sunrise..

Great experience. Mt Batolusong is a pretty place.

Kudos to the operator as everything was well coordinated. We got an email from them, then we were added to the group chat before the hike. The van was on time, the tour guides were very helpful and nice. The hike is good for beginners to intermediate, just make sure you are all prep before the hike. It’s indeed a beautiful hike and the views were amazing!

The actual hike itself was great thanks to the wonderful local guides. What can be improved on is the quality of transfers - the van was old (it didn’t have seatbelts) and the driver wasn’t exactly the most careful. The most stressful part of thr trip for me wasn’t the hike but the drive/ride to and from San Andres.

easy to book and travel group was reachable for any questions and concerns before the trip

Overall the tour was okay. Shuttle arrived 1 hour later, which I didn't expect. We had to wait by the road side while waiting for the shuttle driver to arrive, plus it was midnight. At the same time, the return shuttle arrives only at 3pm to Manila, while we descended by 8am itself. That was unexpected. I decided not to take shuttle back to Manila and used other means of transport which cost me more. I would prefer the tour guide could communicate in English, lucky I had a local friend accompanied who translated most of the time. Besides the setback of the tour, the view at peak of mountain was magnificent. This mountain is definitely for beginners, should try.

The hike itself was good and enjoyable - the views and breeze were the highlights for me during this trip. Having said that, the reason why I had scored it very low is because I had faced bad experiences with the organisers, they were late with the with arrangement of transportation on the pick up and it seemed that they did not know what they were doing. The instruction they gave such as where exactly to meet were very much unclear and to be honest this is simply not acceptable especially if you are a solo traveller waiting at a random carpark, at least for me it had raised some safety concerns. Furthermore, after the hike was done we had to wait for the transportation for more than two hours! Just imagine finishing the hike and you have to deal with this! All in all hike/tour guides were great and would highly recommend, the organisers not so much so suggest to find alternatives.

Interesting experience and nice view. The hike was 4 hours going up and getting down was a bit faster.
