2025 Albay Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

It was a trip to Legazpi, Philippines. When we visited Legazpi recently and our first stop was Cagsawa Ruins Park. A must-see for its iconic view of the majestic Mayon Volcano 🌋The best time to visit is early morning, around ⏰ 6:00–8:00 AM, when the skies ⛅️ are clear, and Mayon’s perfect cone is fully visible. We captured stunning photos of the ruins with the volcano as a backdrop 📸 Walking around, we felt the history of the site, which was once a church destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Truly, this is a photographer’s paradise! 📍Cagsawa Ruins Park, Daraga, Albay, Philippines We also explored Lignon Hill Nature Park, a perfect spot for panoramic views of Legazpi City and the Mayon Volcano. The late afternoon ⏰ 4:00–5:00 PM was ideal for photography as the golden hour bathed the scenery in warm, beautiful light 🌅 We also tried the zip line here, which added an adventurous touch to our visit. Afterward, we headed to the Mayon Skyline View Deck for another breathtaking angle of the volcano. The serenity of the place and the chance to take unobstructed shots made it worth the trip. 📍Lignon Hill Nature Park, Bogtong, Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines We also highly recommend visiting Sumlang Lake, where we took postcard-worthy photos of Mayon reflected in the calm waters. Renting a bamboo raft added a unique touch to our pictures. We arrived in the morning to avoid crowds and capture the serene morning light. Afterward, we ventured to Quitinday Green Hills, often compared to Bohol’s Chocolate Hills. The rolling green landscapes with Mayon in the distance gave us some of our favorite shots from the trip😍😍😍 📍Camalig, Albay, Philippines Address (Quitinday Green Hills): Ilawod, Camalig, Albay, Philippines Lastly , we visited the historic Daraga Church, which has a perfect vantage point for a classic Mayon backdrop. We recommend going around ⏰ 8:00–9:00 AM when the light is soft, highlighting the intricate baroque architecture. Later in the afternoon, we strolled along Legazpi Boulevard, where the coastal views and vibrant sunsets were unforgettable. This is an amazing spot to end your day, with the sea breeze and camera in hand 📸 📍Daraga, Albay, Philippines Address (Legazpi Boulevard): Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines This trip was truly a memorable experience for us, and we’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves stunning landscapes and cultural history🙌🙌🙌 #philippinestrip #getaway #vacation

Cagsawa Ruins is loacated in Daraga, Albay Philippines. This belfry is all that remains of the town that was buried by a violent volcano eruption. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions as they are set against the magnificent backdrop of their very maker, the Mayon Volcano. Equal parts historic and scenic, the site, now named Cagsawa Ruins Park, was even declared a national cultural treasure. #park #itsmorefuninthephilippines #mayon #bicol

#summervacation #hiking Mayon volcano 🌋 is imperfectly perfect♥️♥️♥️ #summervacation#hikingtrails

Sometimes we need a break from everything #travel2021 #summervacation#hikingtrails

It was my childhood dream to witness Mayon’s glory in flesh and not in postcards and history books anymore. Though it wasn’t my first time to see Mayon as I’ve already seen her before when we passed by Tabaco while we were on our way to visit our relatives in Catanduanes way back 2007, but it was my first time to see her from Cagsawa Ruins Park. Entrance fee: ₱10 Viewing Mt. Mayon from Cagsawa Ruins Park creates a different atmosphere compared to other spots. Once you see the Cagsawa Church’s bell tower, you will automatically imagine how disastrous it became when it erupted more than 200 years ago. The eruption buried the church by rocks and lava, leaving only a potion of the bell tower. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

Mayon, the most famous of the active volcanoes of the Philippines, is a archetype of a symmetrical stratovolcano and one of the world most active ones. It has frequent eruptions producing pyroclastic flows, mud flows and ash falls that repeatedly triggered large-scale evacuations. Mayon's most violent eruption, in 1814, killed more than 1200 people and devastated several towns. #givethanks #givethanks

Hey everyone, this is our fourth time setting foot on the magical land of the Philippines! We've experienced the stunning mountains and seas of Palawan, immersed ourselves in the wonders of Cebu's underwater world, witnessed the most beautiful sunset over Manila Bay, and counted shooting stars all night on a secluded island resort. But this time, we dedicated our most unforgettable trip to Mount Mayon! Mount Mayon, a true masterpiece of nature, boasts the world's most perfect cone-shaped silhouette. Standing at its foot, you'll be filled with awe and admiration for the Creator. 1. Transportation Guide We took a connecting flight from Manila to Legazpi Airport. On the plane, you can get a sneak peek of Mount Mayon from the clouds, even seeing the crater clearly. As soon as you get off the plane, the volcano is right in front of you, a spectacular sight. Here's a super useful tip: When flying from Manila to Legazpi Airport, be sure to choose a window seat on the right side; for the return trip, from Legazpi to Manila, choose a window seat on the left side for the best view of Mount Mayon. 2. Things to Do 1. Scenic viewpoints everywhere: Mount Mayon towers into the sky, and it's easy to find great viewing spots at nearby homestays, hotels, or restaurants. Whether it's sunrise or sunset, admiring the volcano bathed in the most beautiful light, or feeling its mysterious charm under the starry night sky, you'll be captivated. 2. Challenge yourself with a climb: For adventurous souls, climbing Mount Mayon is an unforgettable experience. Although we didn't try it this time due to time constraints, the thought of challenging ourselves while enjoying unique scenery is thrilling! 3. Horseback riding: Riding a horse at the foot of the mountain is not only fun but also makes for beautiful and stylish photos. 4. ATV adventure: Mount Mayon offers many ATV experiences. We joined Your Brother Mayon Volcano ATV Experience with the resort. Driving an ATV through rainforests, plains, and streams, finally reaching the volcanic rocks, was a unique and fun experience, which I'll detail later. 5. The magical combination of lake and volcano: Sumlang Lake, like a sapphire at the foot of the volcano, is a semi-natural lake that perfectly reflects Mount Mayon. You can dine by the lake or take a boat ride, capturing the beauty of the volcano from different angles. 6. Cagsawa Ruins: At the Cagsawa Ruins, the remnants of a centuries-old church stand against the backdrop of the volcano. Wearing a long dress and taking photos here creates a sense of destiny. Every moment at Mount Mayon is enchanting, and every scene is worth cherishing. Add Mount Mayon to your travel list and embark on an unforgettable volcanic journey!

📍 Located in the southeastern part of Luzon, this hidden gem awaits. 🌋 As the pre-dawn darkness begins to fade, embark on a journey towards an active volcano, capturing the mystical shimmer of flowing lava. 🐳 Dive into Donsol Bay for a close encounter with gentle whale sharks, experiencing the profound embrace of the ocean. 💦 Discover a hidden gem—a 100-meter waterfall—and experience the thrill of a natural waterslide. This ultimate guide unlocks a magical travel experience that even Filipinos envy! 🔴 Part 1 | Must-Do Experiences 💎 Three Epic Adventures ✅ Mount Mayon Night Climb: At 2:00 am, amidst the stillness of night, embark on an exciting climb up Mount Mayon. Surrounded by darkness, only the beam of your headlamp illuminates the winding mountain path. After a challenging 3-hour trek, reach the summit at the break of dawn (5:00 am). The sight that unfolds is unforgettable—lava flows below, emitting a mystical and dangerous glow. A certified guide is required for the climb, ensuring safety and sharing captivating stories about the volcano. ✅ Swimming with Whale Sharks in Donsol Bay: Unlike Oslob, Donsol Bay remains a pristine, untouched paradise. From November to June, it's the perfect time to dance with whale sharks. As you glide into the water, these gentle giants approach, their massive bodies moving gracefully around you, as if time stands still. Experience the awe-inspiring sensation of swimming alongside these magnificent creatures, truly appreciating the magic and allure of the ocean. ✅ Cagsawa Ruins: This church, consumed by volcanic ash, stands as a silent testament to a tragic past. The weathered ruins evoke a sense of timelessness, each stone bearing the weight of history. Here, you can feel the power of nature and the fragility of human civilization, prompting reflection on the impermanence of life. 🌴 Hidden Gems 📍 Cagsawa Ruins: This church, consumed by volcanic ash, stands as a silent testament to a tragic past. The weathered ruins evoke a sense of timelessness, each stone bearing the weight of history. Here, you can feel the power of nature and the fragility of human civilization, prompting reflection on the impermanence of life. 📍 Daraga Viewpoint: At the Daraga Viewpoint, enjoy a breathtaking 270° panorama of Mount Mayon and the bay. The volcano's majestic silhouette against the sparkling waters creates a stunning vista. Whether at sunrise or sunset, this spot is a photographer's paradise, offering picture-perfect moments for social media. 📍 Lignon Hill Nature Park: At the foot of the volcano lies a mesmerizing, Tiffany-blue cold spring pool. Surrounded by lush greenery, the fresh air complements the cool, refreshing water. Immerse yourself in the pool, feeling the coolness invigorate your skin and wash away fatigue. Enjoy the tranquility and serenity of this enchanting oasis. 🔵 Part 2 | Bicol Culinary Delights 🦀 Seafood Lover's Guide ▪️ Small Talk Cafe: This restaurant's Bicol Express with crab is a seafood lover's dream. Rich coconut milk blends perfectly with fiery Bicol chilies, coating succulent crab meat. The first bite delivers the sweetness of coconut milk, followed by an explosion of chili heat that ignites the taste buds. It's an addictive combination that leaves you craving more. ▪️ Donsol Fish Market: Step into a seafood kingdom at the Donsol Fish Market. Freshly caught tuna sashimi awaits, seemingly still carrying the scent of the ocean. At 500 pesos/kg, indulge in this bounty from the sea. Watch skilled fishmongers expertly slice the fish, presenting glistening sashimi on a platter. Dip it in soy sauce and wasabi, and savor the delicate texture and exquisite flavor. 🍜 Must-Try Dishes ✅ Laing: This taro leaves and coconut milk stew with pork is a staple for local volcano workers. The unique aroma of taro leaves mingles with rich coconut milk and tender pork, simmered to perfection. Each bite bursts with authentic flavors, showcasing the region's culinary heritage. Enjoying Laing offers a glimpse into the hard work and resilience of the people living at the foot of the volcano. ✅ Sinapot: This fried banana platter with caramel sauce is a dessert lover's delight. Crispy, golden-brown fried bananas are drizzled with rich caramel sauce. The combination of textures and sweet flavors creates a satisfying treat, perfect as a dessert or afternoon snack. 💣 Avoid These Tourist Traps ❌ Coconut Boat Meals in Tourist Areas: These overpriced meals often target tourists with subpar quality. Instead, venture into local neighborhoods for authentic cuisine at a fraction of the price. ❌ "Wild Whale Shark Feeding": This harmful practice disrupts the marine ecosystem and endangers whale sharks. Refuse to participate and help protect these gentle giants, allowing them to thrive in their natural habitat. 🔴 Part 3 | Transportation and Accommodation Secrets 🚗 Transportation Tips ▫️ Manila → Legazpi: Fly directly to Legazpi in just 1 hour. Choose a left-side seat for aerial views of Mount Mayon. As the plane approaches, the volcano's grandeur unfolds, creating an awe-inspiring experience. ▫️ Cebu → Donsol: Take a ferry followed by a bus ride, approximately 8 hours. Pack motion sickness medication for the potentially rough sea journey. Enjoy scenic ocean views during the ferry ride. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations ▪️ Volcano View: The Oriental Legazpi is perfect for volcano enthusiasts. Rooms offer direct views of the volcanic cone. Wake up to the majestic sight of Mount Mayon, whether bathed in the golden glow of sunrise or silhouetted against the starry night sky. ▪️ Budget-Friendly: Balay de la Rama is a beachfront guesthouse in Donsol Bay, offering excellent value. Listen to the soothing sounds of waves and enjoy stunning ocean views from your room. The friendly owner provides local travel tips. 🛵 Advanced Adventures ✅ Rent an ATV and explore the volcanic ash plains. Feel the rush of wind as you traverse the vast landscape, experiencing the thrill of speed and adventure. At 1,500 pesos/2h, it's an exhilarating experience. ✅ Get PADI Certified: Obtain your PADI certification here for 40% less than in Boracay. Dive into the underwater world with expert guidance, embarking on a unique diving journey. 💡 Part 4 | Pro Tips ❶ Book volcano climbs 3 days in advance due to the daily limit of 300 people. Plan ahead to secure your spot on this volcanic adventure. ❷ Do not use sunscreen during whale shark encounters. The chemicals in sunscreen harm the marine environment and may affect whale sharks. Wear a rash guard for sun protection while interacting responsibly with these gentle giants. ❸ Bargain like a local: Use the phrase "Pwede discount?" to negotiate prices and potentially save up to 30%. ❹ Download the "Phivolcs" app for real-time volcano alerts and stay informed about volcanic activity. ❺ Bring a respirator mask to protect yourself from the sulfurous fumes at the crater. As the lava flows below, it resembles the heartbeat of the earth. In the shadow of whale sharks, we become as tiny specks of dust, humbled by the vastness of nature. This city, where danger and gentleness intertwine, redefines the romance of life and death. Every breath here resonates with the rhythm of life, and every moment becomes an unforgettable memory.
