Just a few hours from Manila City, Bulacan Province is known for its lush landscapes, heritage sites, and easy access to natural attractions. It's a go-to destination for those seeking a quick escape into nature and those looking for an easy hike near Manila City.
One of the province's best hiking areas lies within Biak-na-Bato National Park, where two beginner-friendly peaks, Mt. Manalmon and Mt. Matinik, await adventurous souls who want to explore scenic trails and enjoy breathtaking views.
Booking this hiking trip to Bulacan Province makes your adventure seamless and stress-free, and is offered at one of the lowest rates. It includes roundtrip transfers from Manila City, with a local guide who will accompany you throughout the hike to ensure your safety and help you navigate the trails.
There’s no minimum number of people required to book this hike, making it perfect for solo travelers or small groups looking for an easy outdoor getaway.
Your excursion begins early in the morning when your guide meets you at your chosen pick-up point in Manila City.
Once you arrive in Bulacan Province, you'll head to the jump-off point, where you can treat yourself to a hearty breakfast. Before setting off, your guide will give a short safety briefing to prepare you for the day's hike.
You'll then begin your journey to the summit of Mt. Manalmon, a favorite among casual hikers for its diverse trails and historical significance.
The trail starts at the Madlum River, with an easy walk through forested paths and even a bamboo bridge. One highlight is passing through Madlum Cave, which is located by the river and has a cool interior.
As you continue, the terrain will become more rugged, especially near the top, where you'll scramble over large rocks. From the summit, you can enjoy sweeping views of lush valleys, the Sierra Madre mountain range, Madlum River, and even Mt. Arayat in nearby Pampanga Province.
After a short break, you'll continue to Mt. Matinik. Its name, meaning "thorny" or "spiky," hints at its rocky features, but the trail is mostly flat and beginner-friendly.
There are a few rope segments to assist you through steep or slippery sections, but the climb is easier than Mt. Manalmon's.
Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the nearby Madlum River, rolling hills, and the dense forest canopy below, making it the perfect backdrop for photos and quiet reflection.
After conquering both peaks, the trail will lead you back to the river, where you can cool off with a refreshing swim, a well-deserved reward after your twin summit achievement.
If you're up for more adventure, you can upgrade your tour by booking optional activities, such as caving at Bayukbok Cave, renowned for its narrow passages and dramatic rock formations, or crossing the monkey bridge, a hanging bridge that tests your balance and adds a thrill to your experience.
When you're ready, you will hop on your transfer service, where you can relax as you make your way back to Manila City.
