1. Milea Bee Farm
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 140 reviews
Milea Bee Farm is not not your typical, manicured farm. You will be visiting a small farm dedicated for the propagation and care of various species of honey producing bees. It is situated in a secluded area with no neighbours and without electricity, and it's a five minute walk from the parking area. Visitors will be having a guided tour to see the bees in their habitat. We have the Italian Bees, Philippine Native Honey Bees and different kinds of Philippine Native Stingless Bees. You can have a taste of honey, fresh from the bee hive; know and see the different honey producing bee species; know the sources of nectar and pollen as well as edible flowers; discover the relationship between bees & flowers; and how bees are closely related to the food chain. It will be an entirely new experience which gets you much closer to nature. Milea Bee Farm is only open to visitors every first Saturday of the month. Please note that this is not a resort and we do not have a restaurant though we serve food using farm produced ingredients with prior arrangement. Hope we could share to you why bees are important and how you can lend a hand in our campaign and the worldwide concern to help save the bees.

Instagramnable place! Very near Manila. Visited with my 13 year old son and sister from NZ. Surprisingly low cost worth it four hour drive from Manila. Better to reserve if you are in a big group but for a smaller group like us, you can come as a joiner. The food was amazing! All serve in the balsa while enjoying the picturesque view. Worth the php440.00 per head for tilapia, pako salad, okoy plus liempo as add on for php40.00. Parking is 50.00 per car with motorcycle ride going to the site at 50php/head. But you can walk from the parking to the lake if you want an exercise for 15 min walk. Call ate tina if you want to reserve at 09079952983

Part of our iterinary is to go to church, first option is to visit Taal church but it is quite far from Tagaytay.through the great recommendation of a good friend we went to this Church. The road going to this church are quite rough, when You enter the gate You will feel the solemnity of the place. Quite and peaceful... Beautiful landscape and masterpiece architectural design. Perfect place for the wedding.. Very clean and well maintained place.

This is a pilgrimage site and worth the drive. Filipino rewarding site that is worth it. s are terrible drivers and the trip can be a bit stressful. The tricycle drivers especially. They don't understand slow traffic stays right or anything else, but the trip is beautiful for certain. The site is also beautiful and opens at 8 and closes at 5. So you can spend all day there and it is an emotionally . It is always desirable to renew you vows and religiosity and the gift shop which only accepts cash has many things for a blessed home and person. For Catholics this is a MUST!

This place is beautifully maintained, with clean and healthy looking animals. The kids had a blast! Wish they had like a small cafe though.
8. Mount Daraitan & Tinipak River

Reviewed By uthipsay - Manila, Philippines
Mountain Daraitan is very famous for Sunrise view as this is highest peak in this region. If you want to see the Sunrise, need to reach at the top by 6 AM, so that you can rest a while for 10 to 15 minutes and then enjoy the Sunrise. The Mountain is full of Rocks and thick jungle. We started from Makati city by Van - a group of 17 visitors at 11 PM and reached Daraitan town in Tanay at 2 AM. Last 1 hour drive was rough due to no real road. Towards end, you cross the river Tinipak over a narrow wooden bridge. We started to climb at 3:30 AM with a local guide with us. the Guide was carrying a Wireless Walkie Talkie. You must carry at Touch with Headband - so that your hands are free and need to wear hand gloves - as while going up or coming down, you have to take support of the Rocks (may have sharp edges) or Trees. Always follow your guide else you will be lost, the Path is muddy at some places. there are 3 stations (small rest area) where you get Coconut water or Coffee. We reached at the Sunrise Point at 6 AM however could not see the Sunrise due to Clouds and Fog, but the weather at the top (about 2700 Feet altitude) was pleasant. we had good photo shoot and then started to another peak called "Heart Peak" about 1 hour walk - passing through Rocks and caves. At Heart Peak Point you see splendid view of river Tinipak. Here you have facility to take some snacks and place to sit and relax. From there we walked down - thorough rocks and rocks at the base near river. Had lunch in Daraitan and returned back to Makati by evening. It is a good and slightly tough Trek but I am sure you will enjoy it.

The museum has four levels of exhibit area, a sculpture garden and amphitheater, and a roof deck to enjoy the spectacular view of Taal Lake.

The place is easy to find as it is along the highway. The road is quite steep tho. The museum has interesting pieces and if you are an Orlina fan , and frequent his art exhibits in Manila, I highly recommend you visit this museum. Aside from his work, some of his old VW cars are also displayed and his backyard is also interesting with all other artworks in collab with other artists are showcased.

MOUNT PURRO NATURE RESERVE is a family-run eco-park, tucked away in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, near Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a simple yet distinct sustainable travel destination. It advocates God, Nature and People as true measures of personal and community development. Furthermore, with its partner, MPNR Foundation, it pursues the dream of rehabilitating the Upper Marikina Watershed and empowering the communities living within, especially the indigenous Dumagat tribe. Mount Purro Nature Reserve. Pray. Discern. Commune with nature. Hike up the mountain or swim in the middle of greenery. Play. Share stories, while taking part of home-cooked meals or gathering around the bonfire. Appreciate the cool countryside breeze under a canopy of leaves and a blanket of stars. Unwind. Re-center. Disconnect to connect. Welcome to your home away from home!

The place offers a unique combination of a staycation and a nature getaway. Just outside the metro, it's a quick escape from the city. The resort itself is plush with trees and plants, and despite a fully booked weekend, provides plenty of quiet spaces to unwind. I love that the booking comes with free access to all activities, including a mountain hike. I have always loved the Sierra Madre mountain range sceneries, and this resort is atop one of its mountains. I enjoyed the home-cooked fashion of its buffet meals, and that I was able to feast on some of the options, being a vegan traveler. I advised the resort of my diet restriction before my stay.
