Trip is the second studio album by Filipino rock band Rivermaya. It has 13 tracks and was released by BMG Records (Pilipinas) Inc. in 1996. It is the first album to introduce Rico Blanco as the band's full-time guitarist following the departure of Perf de Castro the previous year. Since the album release, the album went gold overnight and reached platinum status in six days and the carrier single "Kisapmata" became the most requested tune in Top Rating FM Stations. On June 30, 1996, the band launched their first Music Video for their next single "Himala" at the TV show ASAP.
The album saw the band's departure from its AOR-oriented sound in favor of more alternative rock direction that continued for subsequent albums.
