The road
From NAIA over the Skyway and SLEX, then CALAX or the Santa Rosa–Tagaytay road up to the ridge. Weekend afternoons on the last stretch into Tagaytay are the slowest.
Good to know
- Landing on Friday evening or Saturday: allow 2.5–3 hours — weekend traffic up the ridge is heavy.
- Tell us the hotel: Tagaytay resorts are spread along the ridge road and the lake side.
- Want to see Taal and come back the same day? Book the Tagaytay day trip instead — the driver waits.
