Manila Bay Sunset Cruise
About this tour
Manila Bay is famous the world over for its sunsets, and this two-hour cruise is the most relaxing way to enjoy them, gliding across the water as the sky over the bay turns gold, orange and deep rose. Departing from the One Esplanade terminal beside the Mall of Asia complex, the boat eases away from the shore just as the sun begins its descent, giving you front-row seats to one of the most celebrated sunsets in Asia.
From the deck you take in the Manila skyline, the sweep of Roxas Boulevard, the Mall of Asia complex and the lights of the City of Dreams reflecting on the water. As dusk settles, the city switches on and the bay glows with reflected light, an entirely different view from the daytime cityscape.
The cruise has a festive, easygoing atmosphere, often with live Filipino music on board and light refreshments available. At around two hours, it is the perfect early-evening escape from the heat and noise of the city and a memorable way to cap a day of sightseeing in the capital.
