Villa Escudero Day Trip (Hacienda Escudero)
3May 22, 2008 by jotan23
Early this year, a Balikbayan relative of Davis’s arrived and wanted to see Villa Escudero (as he have heard so much about it).
Davis’s uncle loves anything that is native to the Philippines so off we went for a day trip at Villa Escudero (just beside Hacienda Escudero).
It took us almost 3 hours to get there from Manila to Quezon.
whew!!!
The day tour rate is Php 1,250 per person.
This includes the following:
- Welcome Drink/Carabao Cart and Jeepney Rides/Use of most recreational facilities and lunch at the waterfalls.
- Tour of AERA Foundation Museum (courtesy of trustees)/Tour of Rural Village and Chapel
- Philippine Experience Cultural Show every Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Holidays 2:00-3:15PM
- River Rafting, swimming pool
Some other available facilities are:
• Nipa huts
• Chapel
• gameroom
• auditorium
• bike rentals
• souvenir shops
• tennis, basketball and volleyball courts
They also offer overnight packages. See their website for the rates 🙂
As soon as we arrived at Villa Escudero, we went to the reception area to get registered, where we were offered our welcome drink, which was Sago’t Gulaman 🙂
Refreshing!
We also went around to take a quick look of the place.
there were locals in costumes seated at the back of the Carabao ride, serenading us the most beautiful native songs 🙂
The buffet lunch served is all Filipino food. I do, however, wish that they serve a free buko juice per person.
The Labasin Lake is 30 feet deep!!! don’t worry, you won’t drown if you fall since they make sure that each rafter wears a life-vest

By the way, don’t be surprised if you see locals taking pictures of you and your family because they do it for business. At the end of the day, you will be seeing your pictures posted at the corridor near the exit and they will try to sell these to you… at an expensive price! *teehee*
i guess it’s about Php 100 each!!!
yup, you are right! Villa Escudero should serve Buko Juice for free, knowing that there are countless coconut trees on the area
