A 10 day majestic tour under the Volcano

House is very secure

A 10 day tour of this magicial place. A beautiful house with a lovely owner to serve you breakfast in the mornings. The days have 4 different tours included days were you can look at Mount Mayon (Volcano) drinking a coffee or do a walking trip and get a much closer view. With 9 nights here, relaxation is first. However, we do have some tours included, biking, walking etc. Plus there are other stuff to do like drive an ATV close to Mount Mayon and the Spainish kathredal. Up close and personal is a must, however, local goverment keeps you 6 km from it. For your own safety of course. With the sea close by, a beautiful boulevard and very well priced restaurants, dont waste any time in finding a good deal. There's also a village close by that organizes tours to swim with Whale-Sharks. Yes, very gentle creatures and a great tour.

Hi Everybody, I live in Vietnam with my wife, Mrs Quyen. We travel a lot and I was working in the travel business for 20 plus years. We also have 2 very good friends here to help us out and finding those bargains. We are very relaxed, very fond of good food, great coffee and talking walks, biking or just hanging out.

Details about the accommodation: We have a beautiful house rented for 10 days. We have at least beautiful rooms. There are bathrooms on every floor and a full Kitchen. Our Guest Lily will show up for breakfast, included, plus a dinner on day 2 and our last night, day 9, is included. It's an old lovely house where time has been captured by Lily...lets say its mature. Also, Lily will make sure you have the right breakfast....or if you are vegan etc, no worries-just ask. We are very close to the downtown area and can see the Majestic Mount Mayon from our house If you have any question about the trip please let me know in the Q&A section!

Legazpi City

Day 1-10

Our home for the next 10 days. A small city with a lovely beach and very relaxed way of living here. Of course, no matter where you go, the imposing Mount Mayon (Volano) is always in the back drop. We have organized a few walks plus a bike tour for you to see the neighbourhood and surroundings, a nice introduction to this embracing city. We have 4 trips planned and can do them in the first 4 a 5 days. After that, there are some amazing stuff to do. The first one is to climb near the active Volcano. This is not for everyone,so its an option. About 90 minutes away, there's a great chance you can swim with Whale sharks. This tour is also optional and takes about 6 hours at least.

Mayon Volcano

Day 10

Our tour doesn't include climbing, only walking. We walk around the base of the Vulcano and see her beauty from all sides- up close and personal. We have a guide to show us the best stops for best photos and have a look at the few farmers who still live under the Volcano. The walk can be done by anybody. In total, about 3 hours. After this we go back to our home or drop you off at The Embarcadero, the oldest one or see all of them.

Mount Bariw

Day 10

This trail usually starts near Legazpi City Hall along Rizal Avenue and ends at Taysan Elementary School along Legazpi City - Punta De Jesus Road. This route begins around the city proper and lets you explore the busy streets of Legazpi. It is one of the easiest hikes in the city and a nice spot to take a quick break from the busy city ambiance. Afterwards, the cool drinks are ready or a double espresso.....walk takes about 2 hours.
