Going to Balai Isabel

**_Cathy_** · April 4th, 2019 05:11 PM

Thanks to a dear Tsikoteer, CVT, who recommended that I take the Taal Hiking Tour through Balai Isabel.

Is this the best route going there? I used google maps and other routes take 2 hr 30 mins. This is coming from BGC and it only takes 1 hr 29 mins.

I don't understand where "R3" is. It looks like we will exit Calamba then STAR tollway?

START: Serendra

Head south on Market Market Loading/Unloading Bay toward McKinley Pkwy
41 m

Turn right onto McKinley Pkwy
180 m

Turn left onto 26th St
170 m

Turn right to merge onto Carlos P. Garcia Ave/C-5
Partial toll road
6.3 km

Merge onto R-3
Partial toll road
46.7 km

Continue onto Calabarzon Expy/STAR Tollway
Toll road
4.0 km

Take the exit toward Tanauan City/Laurel/Talisay/Tagaytay
Toll road
260 m

Turn right onto Talisay - Tanauan Rd
Pass by Zoey Store (on the right in 9.7 km)
14.7 km

Turn left
Partial restricted usage road
13 m

END: Club Balai Isabel, Talisay, 4220 Batangas, Philippines

Basta dulohin naman yung SLEX? Usually kasi I exit yung sa Sto Tomas ang labas (after the P25 toll), pero meron dumederecho pa

Yes po altho may daan dn jan sa Sto Tomas, wagka kumanan dun, the next exit ka Tanauan may another tollgate. Kung makikita mo yung Shell sa kaliwa then after nun ay yung Tanauan City Hall then youre on the right path.

Via Star Toll - Tanauan Exit ka na lang. Trapik ang Tagaytay-Sta Rosa road.

Alert Level 1 pa lang naman. Basta sa Daang Kastila ang hike ok lang. Yung pagpasok sa crater ang delikado.
