Excursão de caminhada de dia inteiro em grupo pequeno ao Monte Daraitan, Manila

Ang paglalakad sa Daraitan ay nagsimula ng 3am, at kaming lahat ay nasasabik na umakyat sa mataas na bundok. Ang mga gabay ay nakakaaliw sa aming mga tanong at biro, kaya hindi naging boring ang paglalakad. Kasama namin sina Sir Arnel, Joel, Ariel, at Jaylan. Hindi nila kami iniwan saan man kami magpunta, at lagi silang may mga payo kung saan ilalagay ang aming mga paa lalo na sa paggamit ng mga teknik na GPS (gapang para safe) at UPS (upo para safe) dahil umuulan nang paunti-unti buong araw at mas pinahirap nito ang daanan. Sa kabila nito, sulit ang pawis, pasa, at sugat. Maganda ang tuktok, sa kabila ng walang clearing nang marating namin ang rurok. Mas mahirap ang backtrail kaysa sa pag-akyat, at namamaga ang aking mga binti at paa pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito. Masaya ito! Lubos na inirerekomenda ang tour/hike na ito!

The view is worth the hike! I wasn't really expecting much because I'm a beginner and I thought the trail would be easy since it was mentioned that it was for beginners, but it was not easy because of the rain and mud. But the view was so rewarding! Definitely enjoyed it! The driver, coordinator and guides were all so wonderful!

Un monte impegnativo da scalare, con molti tratti di fango scivoloso e pendii ripidi. Salendo il cuore batteva forte e il respiro era affannoso, e scendendo gambe e ginocchia erano doloranti. Ad ogni modo, è stata una giornata davvero gratificante, e siamo stati felici di partecipare a questo tour. Una giornata dura ma fantastica con panorami mozzafiato!

It was an awesome experience. To be honest it wasn't a beginner friendly trail but as it is my mother mountain, it brought me so much joy to reach the summit.

This was the best trail I’ve ever hiked and it’s really worth it!! I would not suggest this hike to first timers but if you regularly exercise you can finish this hike! The hike was in the middle of big trees so most of the time you’ll be in the shade. There are challenging trails and there are easy ones! The guides were very helpful and would initiate to take photos. When we reached the peak, wow!! The view was indeed spectacular!! It’s true that it could get muddy and slippery specially when it rained, but always hike at your own risk, and trust your tour guide! We also went to Tinipak river, it was a good swim after the hike. Good thing we booked in Klook because of van service, it’s a bit far from Manila (around 3-4hrs) and you’ll be tired after the hike that you cannot drive or commute back home. 😆I highly recommend this hike! It’s my most favorite one!!

Affordable and fun itinerary. If you join alone, you can meet many people who love hiking! Three drawbacks: 1. Departing at 11 PM means no sleep. 2. The guide was very dedicated and excellent, but didn't speak English. Luckily, our group had a Filipino person who spoke good English and volunteered to translate, which added a lot of fun to the trip. 3. The car was a bit small and cramped, but for such a low price, having an air-conditioned private car transfer is excellent value.

It was a precious experience that I will never forget. It was not an easy hike, but I enjoyed the hike with the participants. The guide was kind and put safety first. I'm very satisfied with this program and highly recommend it.

It was really hard and I won’t recommend it with beginners but at least it was worth it.

Difficulty of the hike: The trail is NOT beginner-friendly at all 😭 it was very rocky and muddy, we slipped every now and then. For those going, just be prepared to get muddy and slip, hahaha. Guide: The organizers were very easy to talk to, and our guide was extremely kind ☺️

Apesar de ter gostado muito da caminhada e da hospitalidade dos outros caminhantes locais, esta é uma trilha avançada, não para iniciantes. A trilha é escorregadia, lamacenta e rochosa, não é um caminho plano. Além disso, o tempo é quente e úmido, mesmo no pico da montanha. Isso adicionará mais desafio para estrangeiros que não estão acostumados a caminhar sob tais condições climáticas. Existem muitos pontos de descanso, em parte devido às dificuldades tanto da trilha quanto do clima.
