It is a famous side trip destination for tourists visiting El Nido. You can enjoy both swimming and hiking for half a day. Then, you can come back to El Nido or proceed to Taytay.
If you’re already in town, you should visit Taytay Fort first. It is the most accessible inland destination in Taytay. You won’t even need a tour agency to book you a tour of the fort. The Lake Manguao tour requires a separate day. This is so you can maximize your nature experience on the lake. However, some inland tours can be a mix of two inland destinations in one day. You can request your tour agency to book tours on Taytay Fort and Lake Manguao on the same day. Then, you can spend another day at Kuyawyaw Falls.
You can always choose to explore these places on separate days or squeeze them up in one day. Whatever inland tour you pick, you’ll surely enjoy your nature trip in Taytay.
