Ropes, heights, and stairs! Those are the three main things you have to prepare for during the approximately 3-4 hours trekking. You would be climbing and going down through ropes with only a helmet as a safety precaution. Don't sweat though as there have been no accidents yet that happened in the georeserve. If you're afraid of heights, you would have no choice but to get over it. Again, don't sweat as the breathtaking views would be worth it. The trek would be very tiring! The numerous amount of stairs and climbing would take a toll on your body so be prepared for a leg day exercise. You would be visiting around 8 main trail destinations with a lot of trekking in between. The 8 main trail destinations are the photographs which you often see online and on social media which are: sapot, yungib ni ruben, tatay, nanay, ditse, patak, duyan, and liwasan. Your group would be treated with some snacks and cold towel at the end of the trekking, which is a very welcoming sight after climbing and trekking for so long. 

Main takeaway from our trip: nature is definitely a breathtaking sight if only we protect and take care of it well. In return, nature would protect us as well from calamities and the like. No amount of words could express our group's gratitude and admiration for all the locals and other individuals who saved and are now taking care of the Masungi Georeserve.

The parking lot already offers you the refreshing sight of the ocean, which you could dive into once you get to the diving site. The place isn't your normal kind of beach per se since it has no sand but it does offer a relaxing view of the ocean, which you could snorkel and dive into if you'd like.

Summer Cruise is owned and run by Japanese nationalities who took to themselves to teach locals how to dive and explore the natural beauty of the Philippine waters. Some of the visitors are Japanese nationalities as well who're enthralled with the natural beauty that the Philippines has to offer. The friendly and accommodating staff and dive instructors, however, consists of locals who will make your stay truly relaxing and unforgettable.


The Summer Cruise diving and snorkeling site offers a very captivating underwater experience. Sad to say but nature's natural beauty truly comes out in places unknown and lesser visited by man. The various coral reefs and underwater species in the diving site of Summer Cruise is already present the moment you step out of the barricade of Summer Cruise and, trust me when I say this, it will definitely take your breath away. It is one of the main things why my sister and I decided to keep coming back to the diving site and also to explore more diving sites here in the Philippines. In a short span of time underwater, we have already seen a lot of the aquatic natural beauty and interacted with a lot of underwater species, which we have only seen in pictures and videos prior to the visit. In conclusion, the Philippines is definitely world class when it comes to natural beauty. The government and Filipinos, in general, should just learn how to take care of our environment and to take pride in it as well. We don't actually need to go to another country just to see natural wonders. I encourage my fellow Filipinos to explore local sceneries, take pride in it and, most importantly, take very good care of it. In support of local tourism, I recommend Summer Cruise since it definitely will be your new summer booze!
