Batad Rice Terraces

Reviewed By 865cr - Washington DC, United States

We did a 3 day trek Day 1- Pula Cambulo, Day 2- Batad Day 3 short hike and back to Banaue. Day 1 was a long hike, but very nice and few people. Day 2 you arrive at Batad, definitely the most picturesque terraces, but also the most crowded with many tourists. You also visit the waterfall. You are done by 2:30pm and do nothing the rest of the day. Day 3- you do a 2 hour hike (very nice hike), then go back to Banaue, so if you are taking the night bus, you have 8+ hours to kill. Unless you are looking for downtime, I would just combine this into 2 days.

Sagada Outdoors

We provide Rafting, Canyoning, Mt Biking and Trekking tours in the Sagada area, and trip organizing and management around the Cordillera. We do not provide budget tours: we aim to provide the best possible service, equipment, and food, and we pay our people the professional wages they deserve. That makes our products more expensive than those of some (not all) competitors, but we think it's worth it. Rafting is seasonal, typically available June through Dec, may vary according to rainfall. White water kayaking is available to intermediate paddlers and above (a reliable roll is essential). Canyoning is seasonal, typically available October through May, also rainfall dependent. This is a full day trip requiring some fitness but no experience or special skills. Rappelling (abseiling), swimming, and jumps to deep water are featured. We provide guided mt bike tours, both trail riding and touring, with rental bikes. We do not rent bikes without a guide. Trekking tours range from 1 to 6 nights with guide and equipment.

Banaue Rice Terraces

Spectacular terraces were carved out from mountain ranges some 2000 years ago with primitive handtools.

Reviewed By AjKamath - Hong Kong, China

This is one of the most spectacular views and landscapes in my opinion. The rice terraces are over 1000 years old and it is impressive to see how it was built back in those days where they did not have electricity and modern heavy machinery. The villages are still quite disconnected from the world - not many spots where you have good WiFi coverage- especially around Batad. That’s not necessarily a bad thing as you’re assured of time away from the usual city life and enjoy nature in the best way possible. The villagers are very friendly and welcoming. Getting there - take a bus from Manila, about 8 hours by road. Tickets can be booked online quite easily. Please beware of the extreme AC in the Coda (purple) bus!! Carry jackets n cover yourself to survive. They DO NOT adjust the temperature even if you’re freezing! Once there I think 2 days is more than enough to cover the region and visit all the important spots - Banaue view point, Batad village and view point, Ducligan Snake river, San Fernando, etc. I stayed at Bogah home stay and had an absolutely AMAZING experience. I recommend getting in touch with Denwil ([email protected]) who can organize everything at pretty good deals. I even got to stay with his family in Batad and help them harvest the rice :) one of the highlights of my trip and something that you can do in June-July if the rice is ready for harvest. The hikes are definitely not easy so recommend good hiking shoes and appropriate hiking clothes/gear. Do go with a guide to ensure you’re headed on the right path. It’s quite slippery - especially after rains. Food is good - not great. Carry your own supply of snacks etc. to be safe. Not too many shops sound so good to stock up on the necessities. Rice wine is also something worth trying - I got lucky to get some of the fresh distilled wine from the freshly harvested rice and it was GOOD! :) Overall - I definitely think it’s a MUST DO while in Philippines. Really amazing and experience that you will remember over time.

Sumaguing Cave

Reviewed By nicosamneil - Cebu Island, Philippines

Amazed by the stone formations. Adventure is somehow slippery so dont wear slippers that are hard, much better if slip resistant. Dont wear fancy clothes, an outdoor outfit would do since u'll get wet by the cold water that is flowing inside. Lucky we have an accomodating guide named artuto which is clearly a veteran in giving tours.

Really enjoy the view even though it’s tiring to reach the waterfalls. It was really impressive place to see and soak in the cold water after a tiring trek.

Tappiyah Falls

Reviewed By 29remya - Berkeley, United States

Although the hike is steep and up and down many stairs, the journey to get here as well as the waterfall itself is well worth it. You will walk through stunning rice terraces, and after about an hour hike, you will arrive at this beautiful waterfall, where you can take a swim and relax before the hike back up many stairs.
