YouTube Video Description↓

Today is day five of my Southeast Asia cruise on the Norwegian Spirit and we are docking in Manila, Philippines! I have an all day excursion booked to Tagaytay Ridge, a few hours outside of Manila. Things start off a little rocky with a late departure, but once we're underway everything goes smoothly. Watch this video to find out my thoughts on this excursion - would I recommend it given how much time is spent on the bus to get to the main attraction? (Tagaytay Rige and Volcano Island!) Or is it not worth the trek?!
