We had the best family outdoor trip!

I highly recommend Pinatubo Mountainero. The coordination was seamless, from the booking to the on-the-day coordination. Exceptional facilities, too - the van was new, and the Jump Off Point was well-kept and not crowded. The staff were all courteous and professional, with a special shoutout to our driver, our guide, and Ms. Melai. We had such a good experience that we’re thinking of doing the Avator Gorge next.

We had a fantastic experience. We booked with 4 guests and our tour was on 14 August 2025. A little over 2 weeks after the large typhoon hit the Philippines. From the beginning, we had some issue with booking through the website, so we messaged directly via FB messenger, and the customer service was 10/10, extremely helpful and very quick to respond! They gave us alternative way to send a payment so that we could still book a tour with them. Even when a mistake was made on our end, the team helped us correct it even outside their normal business hours to make sure we were taken care of. On the day of our tour, our 4x4 driver Kennedy Calo, was exactly on time, and from the start to end was extremely helpful, informative, and polite. He told us about the history of the local tribe, the Aeta people, and fun facts about the area all along the trail up to the gorge. He had a super sweet off-road Nissan vehicle as well! When we arrived at the gorge, we were met by a Local named Mary Anne, we called her Ate Mary! who guided us through the gorge, offered to take pictures for us and showed us where all the best posing spots were. It had rained heavily the night before so the lahar and sand were very soft, and there was a decent bit of water runoff into the gorge so we decided to take our shoes off. Be wary, some of the ladders have become damaged from recent storms and flooding so some parts of the descent into, and climb out of, the gorge will require a bit of climbing the rocks. We recommend wearing some sandals or footwear that okay to get wet. Ate Mary even helped us carry our shoes so we could safely climb the rocks, as she was a pro and climbed very easily! Unfortunately tho, Because of the damage, the tour actually gets cut a bit short due to the ladders/rope at the end of the trail being damaged making it unsafe to go past that point. Overall, our experience with the tour company was fantastic and the local Aeta people are very friendly and in tune with the environment (shown in my picture!). I hope they are able to repair the damages in the future when there is less rain, so that others can experience the whole Gorge tour. I would absolutely love to come back and do this again!

Bottom line: just do it!

I booked the Inararo Trail hike two days prior for a group of 11 people and they were able to accommodate. The logistics were super straightforward and they picked us up right from the hotel in the Clark area. The drivers and guides were all professionals and clearly very experienced along the route. The route itself was challenging due to the slipperiness of the rocks and steepness while coming back to the 4x4s, but if you follow the guide’s footsteps it’s quite safe. Incredible views of the crater lake at the summit, and we felt like we earned it after the hike. Can’t recommend this enough, it was my top experience in the Philippines. Salamat po!

Our trip to Tutulari Avatar Gorge became even more memorable with the enthusiasm shown by our driver Robert and tour guide B3 (sounds like it). They showed willingness to help on making sure we get the best photos and what's even better is that they kept us involved by sharing their knowledge about the place and stories from their previous experiences.

This was so worth it. Our driver was really nice and informative. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area (didn’t talk much), he got us safely to the summit. It was raining when we went which was nice as it wasnt so hot. They arent kidding when they say this is not for beginners. There is a lot of river crossings and the last leg of the hike there is a steep vertical climb. Be prepared to get your shoes wet, there is no avoiding it. Would love to try the other trails/tours next time. Definitely recommending this to friends and family.

The trek was about 7.5 miles in total, about 1700 ft elev gain! Was an amazing experience. I’d recommend wearing pants and long sleeves bc of the plants but if not it’s also okay. Majority of our crew wore tanks, short sleeves and shorts. Be prepared to get wet! Enjoy it! Swim at the waterfall! Bring plenty food and water!! Tip your tour guides and drivers!

Very accommodating and trustworthy people that will give you the best of their ability to help you achieve your dreams in safe and orderly manner.

all staffs are very kindly. You can enjoy this tour even you are a foreigner.

Our group of 7 was not just awed, but mesmerized and stunned by what we saw and experienced at the Tutulari Avatar gorge. It was beyond our wildest imagination (and they are wild because we're divers and have seen a lot); and to say we enjoyed ourselves is an understatement. We all vowed to go back with friends.
That said, we just wish that our request to be picked up at our house WITHIN Clark Airbase was granted because we were a PRIVATE tour group. Thank you to the organizers!!!! You all rock.

Me and my in laws all seniors had a great time doing this tour.Our service companion Eryz was great driving for us thru rough roads. We're happy to have accomplish the challenges going thru the gorge
Will do it again..

I visited Mt. Pinatubo after its eruption in 1991 many years ago….
Today to celebrate LIFE with deep Joy and Gratitude I decided to take another lifetime adventure and experience the grandeur of GOD’s magnificent creation at Pinatubo Lake🙏🏽♥️

I booked Pinatubo Mountainero Travel & Tours OPC their Pinatubo Joiners - Shared Group Tour SM Clark as Solo Joiner. What a big suprise met by Bari Silverio the Owner-Operator himself and my lone joiner Daniel from Taiwan at 4:00 AM. Bari drove us to the Jump Off and met by Kuya Ramil the best Tour Guide ever! We took the 4x4 open jeep and there we go….
The 4x4 long drive passing through the bumpy stoney river drive was really “buwis buhay” (risky; life-threatening) experience!
Adrenaline Rush!
My 1st time ever!
How I admire the strength and skill of our driver and to all the Drivers!
Kuya Ramil our tour guide was very kind in helping me pass through the most difficult parts especially in crossing the rivers with my bamboo cane. I can not thank him enough♥️ He is an Aeta who has been in Mt. Pinatubo before the eruption, helped build the development of the site and now a licensed Tour Guide explaining how his life has been.
The trail was a real adventure and the community provide several stops with improvised toilets made of cogon grass and stores selling merienda.
Wala ka ng mahihiling pa!

I am so happy and fully satisfied I chose and booked with Pinatubo Mountainero!
Maraming Salamat😊♥️👍👏🙌

We loved the tour and how helpful our 4WD navigators were in pointing out great photo ops. They were of course great drivers. The guides were good at pointing out places of interest in the gorge. But our older guide did not know how to use the phone camera and ended up taking a headless pic of the group. The younger female guide had excellent photo-taking skills. We had so much fun we all went home energized and happy. The fun was heightened by our decision to walk as "diwatas".

I enjoyed the tour from beginning to end. I appreciate the story behind the Avatar Gorge’s discovery and being run by the family living in that community. Very kind and people of God!

On time, point to point pick ups and drop offs, secure, expert guides! Our guide helped us carry our stuff and was so pleasant all throughout the trip. Me and my boyfriend got engaged during this trip and they were so happy and excited about it! will never stop recommending this organizer enough.

It was so worth it to wake up too early and hike for almost 3hrs. Really understand now why it was called a beautiful disaster!
