Review & FAQ:
The Taal Volcano Lake is one of the most exciting outdoor recreational places in the Philippines and is part of a volcanic chain that borders the Luzon Island. At the center of Taal Lake, another island was formed due to eruptions and is named Volcano Island. Since the 16th century, the volcano has erupted more than thirty times. Taal Volcano is the smallest of all active volcanoes in the world, and permanent settlement is prohibited which leaves the island and lake area mostly secluded with the exception of a few tourism and farming families. Another unique feature is Crater Lake, which is a lake on Volcano Island. Lake Taal is freshwater but has a high sulfuric content. Most of the visitors to Taal Volcano Lake come to trek across the volcano and islands on guided tours suitable for the entire family. Riding the horses on the islands is highly discouraged and considered dangerous.
