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.

Tandem Paragliding is where you fly together with a certified Tandem Pilot and get the thrill of a lifetime. BOOK a FLIGHT online, get more INFO and find out about the RATES at the website of HIGH 5 PARAGLIDING. There are 3 flysites around Manila; all within 1 hour of reach. Binangonan and Carmona are flyable from end of October until end of May. San Mateo is flyable from June until October but only on sunny days without rain. Paragliding is definitely one of the best 1/2 day trips for outdoor and adventure lovers, who want to escape the traffic and pollution of Metro Manila. There is no age limit but a weight range. Passengers should have a minimum weight of 20kg and not more than 100kg. During the peak flying season from November till end of May, paragliding is daily available, if weather permits. Groups up to 10 passengers can easily be accommodated.

We had such a good morning. Stayed at Casa Del Rio and they sorted the boat for us. 1250pp seems expensive but is definitely worth it. The scenery is stunning and we saw plenty of wildlife too, monkeys, kingfishers, and a woodpecker. Easy to do on your own. We got the HM liner bus from Cubao for 166php each. Jeepney from Santa Cruz to Pagsanjan. Cheaper than some of the tours advertised, even with a night in Casa Del Rio.

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.

An amazing place in every way untouched by tourism remaining a nature paradise .Its a effort to get here no doubt but worth it . Friendly people, peace, crystal clear water and white sand beaches are just the start . A short trip from the friendly port of San Andres allows stock up of essentials .That too is worth a stop over .

Took this hike right before sunset, didnt quite reach the top, decided to descend due to darkness coming, made it roughly 75% of the way in about 1 1/2 hours. Its a steep trail that is paved 50% up, then non marked trail the rest of the way, dont worry about being amongst locals houses, some are sari saris, selling goods to help you along the way and the rest being friendly faces willing to point you in the right direction if youre unsure where to head. Take your time, breaks a plenty with views to enjoy, and watch your step. You will probably encounter chickens, goats, dogs, and cows on your journey, be friendly and quick and they will leave you be. If youre tired from walking up, there is a way to drive back down, normally by hiring a trike. Beautiful views that should be experienced by all. If you feel up for a workout i strongly suggest taking advantage of this hike. Yes there is trash, it could be cleaner, but try not to let it diminish your experience.

I've been living in the area for around 13 years, and it was on my 6th year that I get to enjoy birding here, when I learned basic photography. I can share with you several birding spots, not usually visited by visiting birders. I learned about these just a year ago as well. Early morning walks before going to the office get me more acquainted of the bird species in the area. Mt. Makiling is a great birding site with a lot of endemic birds to see! It's just an hour away from Metro Manila.
