The Sta. Cruz, is located in western part of Marinduque it is approximately 1 hours from Balanacan Port and the main Jump off point in the island of Maniwaya and Mong pong.
The Maniwaya Island is located in the heart of the Philippines, the journey going to the island will take about 12 hours if you do it straight from Manila.
I was so excited when my friend invited me to travel Marinduque, from Makati where I check-in, I am not familiar with that place so I have a little bit afraid since our call time is 3 in the morning to catch early morning trip to dalahican Port in Lucena, Quezon.
The moment when i arrived in the City of Tagaytay i said to myself, it is happening right now? because this is my fifth attempt, in my previous attempt it was not good because the weather is not bearing with me.
The sun is up in Boracay Island, I decided to do a side trip before to start my adventure in Maniwaya Island in Marinduque as my booked flight is via Kalibo International Airport to Manila.
