Go fishing, with Kenny and Carlos
The trip you very well organised by YOLO travels. Driver Carlos and guide Kenny were brilliant throughout the experience. I caught many (around 20) catfish with a pole, line, weight, hook and blood worm for bait. The local fishermen were there every step of the way to help. The milkfish lunch cooked fresh was amazing. This is a most do trip through YOLO travels. If you book ask for Kenny as your guide, with his right hand man Carlos.

Perfect way to spend a Sunday!
What a great trip to the fishing village! Our tour guide, Nona was exceptional. My teenage son loves to go fishing and wanted to experience fishing while we were here in the Philippines. We spent several hours out on the boat, beautiful sunshine, he caught a catfish was able to swim in the amazing lake. This was all followed by a tasty local meal that we paid for at the diner on site.

Amazing Tour - Highly Recommend!!
This was a great day trip with such an amazing tour guide. Kenji not only made us feel welcome, but gave us some great experiences throughout the day. Aside from the amazing trip to the fishing village, we got to try some of the local foods along the way and really got to see more of what the Philippines had to offer! Highly Recommend!!

Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.
How much does Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manila usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manila is not rushed.
Is Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Manila, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manila can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manila and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manila within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Manila?
+
On Outty we rank every Manila experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food, Experience Intramuros with Bamboo Bicycle - Ecotours, Spectacular Manila to Tagaytay: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Manila?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Manila?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 314 listed pickup locations in and around Manila. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Manila Hidden Gem Fishing Village Excursion?
