Exciting Things To Do In Cavite In The New Normal

You can look at Cavite through different lenses and find unique sides that make it beautiful. For the metropolitan, it has everything you could look for in an urban center. On the other hand, it’s a quaint province in its own right, where a laidback lifestyle can still be enjoyed and a rich history learned. Everybody already knows about Tagaytay and, yes, it will—and it should—always be part of any Cavite travel itinerary. However, in this guide, we’ll also highlight other parts of Cavite that are also worth exploring! Check them out below.

Batangas may be the more famous beach destination, but Cavite also has some nice beaches in its arsenal, which gives you a shorter travel time from Manila. Along the coast of Ternate, which is just an hour’s drive from Manila, you can find many secluded beaches with different shades of sand. The most famous is Boracay de Cavite with its white sand beach, but it’s still closed to tourists as of this writing. However, you can explore many other resorts nearby such as Caynipa Cove and Paniman Beach. 

 

 

Go on a River Cruise in Maragondon

Nature is also breathtaking in Maragondon, and you can find plenty of unspoiled beauty underneath its green ceiling. Get your first taste of this by going on a Balsa River Cruise along Maragondon River, a new attraction launched in 2019. It’s a true-blue Filipino experience all the way—instead of a sleek cruise ship, you ride a balsa, a bamboo raft with a little hut for shade. You can have a little feast here by bringing your own food or availing a package that includes the cruise’s specialty Pancit sa Bilao. Packages start at PHP 2,500 for 10–15 people.
