Hi Wayne,

When do you intend to camp there? I can ask some of my contacts who have connections to TLYC. I will try but no promises.

Hi Scott I contacted the sailing club said its ok for me to go stay a few night at them moment but they said they are thinking about no westerners later as they have had some bad ones going off not paying there bill which is shocking as its only like 3 us dollars a day to camp…….. so they might be changing it to locals only campsite.

Hi Wayne,

This place is not on Taal Island but it is beside Taal Lake. http://www.sailing.org.ph/tlyc/camp.html

People have told me there are places to camp on the island but I’m not sure where. It is safe to swim in Taal Lake, but if you mean swimming in the crater lake then you may want to check with PHILVOLCS or local tour agencies.

Hi Chito,

We just went out there a few weeks ago. I can’t remember which bus company we took. I think it was JAM, on the corner of Taft and Buendia. There are no buses that go right into Talisay. We got off the bus in Tanauan then caught a tricycle to catch a jeep to Talisay. I don’t think the jeeps go all the way to the lake’s edge but as there was nobody else in the jeep the driver took us all the way. Otherwise you can get a tricycle to take you there.
I think you can also go by bus to Tagaytay and then catch a jeep down to Talisay from there.

Hope that helps.

The small crater that is usually taken by photographers is not the main crater. It si just one of the craters surrounding the lake. Don’t you know that in the early eruptions of this volcano, it sank some towns. Namely Tanauan, Taal, Bauan, and Lipa.
