As it wet season in the north it was foggy and we had little rain on trail. That just made the entire experience more magical. The terrain was amazing, with tropical vines, forest and very cool rock formations made from ancient coral. Our guide Jason was knowledgeable about the plants and animals and stopped to show us specific trees and how they support the animals and insects in the georeserve. There are rope bridges over the canopy, rope climbs up and over large rock formations and a cave walk just to name a few items on this hike. The Discovery trail lives up to it's name. Everyone should visit and support the amazing work being done there!

Had the privilege of visiting Masungi Georeserve for the 9th time (6 times at the Legacy Trail, thrice at side trails and once at Discovery Trail) and every visit is a memorable learning and life-changing experience. All dedicated forest rangers are well versed in the changing landscape and diversity of flora and fauna. The experience differs depending on the weather. I prefer windy, cloudy weather when going up there. The Sierra Madre is more dramatic with rain clouds. Beyond the transformations, the team behind Masungi Georeserve is focused on restoring the lost and abused part of the Upper Marikina Watershed Area. Masungi Georeserve is a platform to make anyone fall in love with nature in a much deeper level. The Masungi Georeserve experience should be in every nature lover's bucket list.

Perfect day at Masungi Georeserve. The hike was well-organised and well-paced with sufficient rest stops. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, allowing us to take our time and helping to take our photos. You do need a certain level of fitness and daring to tackle the ropes, steps and hanging bridges but you will be rewarded with stunning views of the limestone karst formations. There are alternative paths to take for those who have a fear of heights but these detours may take longer. Best not to rush and go with people who won’t judge you if you feel like dropping out! Well done to the Foundation and for educating the public on biodiversity and sustainable tourism. Book ahead and pray for great weather.

The visit was not only a delightful experience but also an educational one, offering insights into local ecology and conservation efforts. We were blessed with perfect weather – sunny yet pleasantly cool and breezy, a characteristic that apparently intensifies from February to April. Lunch was a culinary highlight, with delicious meals served in traditional Filipino style, wrapped in banana leaves. Choices included fish, chicken, or tofu, catering to all tastes. Tree planting and nurturing was such a fun and rustic activity—everyone enjoyed getting their hands dirty. The facilities were impressive too, notably the beautifully designed and impeccably clean outdoor restrooms. A unique feature was the complimentary local meal, known as “minalot”, served post-restoration activities, adding to the authentic experience. The opportunity for a siesta in the serene Amihan Floating Huts was a delightful touch. We will definitely be back to try the other trails!

Masungi Georeserve is indeed one of the best places in Rizal that I personally would like to recommend for you to visit. It was such a relaxing place, with its majestic view and good food. People are very welcoming and yeah, I really enjoyed the whole discovery trail. What makes this place special is their advocacy to conserve the forest land and being the voice of the wildlife. Will surely go back. 🤗

We did the discovery trail and the experience was more than what I had expeted. The obstacles laid upon were not for the weak but very much enjoyable even for those who might think they cant do it. The trail was very much carefully laid out and over-all experience was both phenomenal and very educational. I really hope the georeserve can sustain what it is doing. It does need more help from the community to help it keep its current state of being that - a reserve/sanctuary for more trees and plants to grow and for whatever wildlife to keep its habitat in Masungi. I hope to visit again soon and hopefully experience Nanay as my group opted not to do it. The staff and our tourguide are very friendly, helpful and courteous. Overall, I would recommend this for teams and families and group of friends to explore together. The photos may just look like it extreme but trustme when when you are there, it really is nature at its core with carefully laid-out and safe path to go thru. PS> the frozen towel at the end was a really welcome and thoughtful touch to the whole adventure. Thanks Masungi Georeserve! #savemasungi

An absolutely incredible experience and well worth the price. A reasonable distance for a day trip away from the city. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and it’s evident that they care for the environment. I participated in the discovery trail, which I believe to be the most challenging. It took about 3 hours and my heart was racing the entire time. Great exercise, great views, and a once in a lifetime experience if you’re traveling through the area. Our Ranger, Sarah, was patient and explained the trail options which helped me to prepare myself for the challenging course ahead. A must-visit for adrenaline seekers, but know that there are family friendly options, too. Everything from the restroom facilities to the post-trail snack were notable, tidy, and impressive. 10/10 would recommend!! Beautiful nature and interesting history. Please consider a small donation at the end of the trail if you enjoy your experience.

The discovery trail is so good it will test your strength and limits.It was a great idea for our team building which helped us build our trust with each other and with our own selves. The place was so clean like no litter at all!!Thank you Masungi for this experience!

Nine of us spent four hours exploring the Discovery Trail of this karst reserve less than two hours’ drive from Metro Manila. The trail is designed to challenge reasonably fit groups who don’t mind some exposure to the elements and surmounting physical obstacles without incurring serious risks. A certified guide accompanied us all the way. Aside from the uneven terrain, there were hanging bridges, caves, meshed rope walls, and a giant spider web suspended over a jagged ravine to get the adrenaline pumping. Entry is regulated to groups (minimum of seven, maximum of fourteen) with prior online bookings. Price ₱1,500.00 weekdays and ₱1,800 weekends. The surrounding region (Tanay/Baras) is elevated with scenic vistas of clouds and forested hills. Its zigzag highway has become the favorite of weekend bikers so dining and accommodations abound.
