Boating, Camping, Stargazing, Mountaineering & Taal Volcano Weekend @ TLYC.com

I had a pretty good Boating, Camping, Stargazing, Boy Scout Tent Camping, Eco Trekking, Mountaineering & Taal Volcano trip last Weekend @ TLYC.com. Taal Lake Yacht Club in Talisay, Batangas now if you like to go to this place you may take see the Map or the public transport route here. See the Boat above? That's where I ride to go to Taal Volcano Lake Crater. 


For travel by boat 40 mins I was on the Volcano mountain already. Then another 40mins-1hour walk to its main crater. And it was safe because I have signed the waiver, wear the life Jacket and I have a professional tour guide and boat driver employed by Taal Lake Yatch Club. 

Peter the sailing expert who won's lot of boating recognition around the world. He organize the regatta event and lots of boating sports adventure. Instructs his staff on signage going to Taal Lake Yacht Club. Because some tourist both local and foreign were being mislead by some locals. 


To go to unsafe boat with no life Jacket going to the Volcano crate. So its quite risky and dangerous. So Peter and Co provides safety and a peace of mind to the local and foreign tourist.

Sailing Paradise

I believe it can accommodate more than 300 boats and hobie craft

Schooling and Instructions are important we also done this during our Subic Bay Adventure as well as MS Turanor Trip to the largest floating solar boat.

From Manila Peter told me its campaign about Environment protection on Lake. That the most we can do is to educate the public. Philippines is so lucky to have more than 7000 island and great seas.

Horse ride 500-750 depends on the distance

It takes maybe 3-5 trip depends on how fast you move

 and stay to appreciate the volcano's beauty

They fall in line like Taxi

Advisable for elders to ride because trekking and hiking is quite tough

It takes 30mins-1 hour to go go volcano it depends 

on how fast you walk or how fast is your horse

I advice you wear trekking shoes, jogging pants, long sleves

Because its slippery and to protect you skin from insects

exotic plants and makahiya thorns 

They are the experts

Taal Lake Crater 

Stop over for 3-10 minutes to catch up breath
Its ok to walk for an hour but the problem is the up and down slope
Its quite painful in the lungs and whole body

Boat Driver and Tour Guide

Rewards of Pain, Some tourist quit walking and get horse

But I do endure pain in short, sando and sandals 

Trek unprepared though

The most active volcano in the ring central world of fire

I would recommend 3 foot, i mean you used stick as a guide in challenging mountain slope

It works for me my 2 arms were working on stick in coordinates with my 2 legs who is quite tired and challenged. Good for people who ride the horse though. But I can imagine the Mt Everest people they do this for week. Me only for half day, so I must not give up to eventually to ride horse.

Peter Capotosto my hobie Boating Mentor

Since I'm quite heavy 195 lbs, the boat may move slower but its ok I need to get a partner who is slim during competition. But for fun their is no weight limit.

We pull together prepare to depart

It can be pulled also by 1 man

Or can be sailed by 1 person but the ideal 

is 2persons with 280lbs combined ideal total weight 

Peter told me a lot of thing about sailing and Philippines military history

Since both of our family were on the service mostly Navy things

Told me - Don't be afraid you wont fall, 

just lean back and in case you got life-jacket

3 hobie boat were sailing during that time and the wind is good, we move faster than speed boat and motorboat because of the wind. This place is ideal for camping, barkada's hangout, competition like amazing race, family gathering and team building.
