Flight
The airport is about 65.5 km from the venue. For time-efficiency and door-to-door convenience, we recommend to book private transfers or direct shuttles to Tagaytay, which takes about 2.5 hours on average with moderate traffic. GrabCar will cost around 3,000 Php and is definitely worth it.

Rental Car
Taal Vista has a vendor for private shuttle service. Please contact Mr. Fahad Gumama directly at +639360421354 to organize. You can download "Viber" app and chat there for free. We would recommend going by groups so the cost will not be as high. Cost estimate one way from BGC to Tagaytay is around 7,500 Php.
House Or Rental
There are lots of airbnb's to choose from around the neighborhood. So this option is also a win.
Travel Note
When traveling to the Philippines, you need to have this ready to present to the counter when you check in for your flight. It's free and very easy, you can just download the QR code onto your phone and show it to them. Registration is within 72 hours before travel!
Travel Note
Airalo eSIM: For those travelling from Norway, you can consider registering for eSIM (Airalo or the likes), which offers convenient, affordable data access for travelers without needing physical SIM cards. They're ideal for international trips, especially given your iPhone use and potential googling and navigating needs. Philippine sim card: Alternative is buying a physical sim card. When you arrive at the airport, buy a GLOBE sim card with credit so you can easily make calls and SMS while in Manila. A sim card should typically cost 60 PHP, just fill it up with credit and ask the nice ladies at the counter for unlimited call and text (and probably some internet). This should typically cost 2000 PHP.
Travel Note
Grab is a car app that will get you to places much quicker (and much safer). Think UBER! Download the app to your phone and input your credit card details so you don't need to keep paying with cash.
Travel Note
The Philippines is a bit behind on the times and a lot of places still require cash payments. It would be practical to withdraw some cash right at the airport when you arrive 😊
