The Adventure Park

The travel time from CDO to the adventure park is around an hour and a half. You’ll be passing by hectares of pineapple plantation and countryside views. The climate on the park is a little cool and you’ll see a lot of pine trees around that somewhat remind you of Baguio.

Just beside Dahilayan Adventure Park is Dahilayan Forest Park, where there’s also a lot of activities to do. The adventure park also offers accommodations which you can check here.

Extreme activities

There are several activities you can do in the park. One of the most popular here is the 840-metre dual zip line. Aside from that, they have 320 and 150 metres zip-lines. Another popular ride here is the Dropzone, where you will be dropped 120-feet and swing above a man-made lake.

Each ride costs differently and there is no ride all you can ticket, but they have a package for some of the rides. My friends got the ‘ZipAll Package’ for ₱600 (price may be changed) that includes 320-metre, 150-metre, and the 850-metre zip line ride. For me, I wanted to try the dropzone so I choose the ‘ZipAll’ + Python Zip + Dropzone package for ₱1,000.

We first did the 320 and 150 metres zip line, followed by the Dropzone. The Dropzone really got me a little nervous when I saw someone being dropped, and got a little scared when it’s my turn and I need to pull the release rope to be dropped. Yup, you will be the one to release yourself by pulling the rope! But after I pulled the release rope (and screamed a little), it was just awesome, and I felt like I’m flying.

After that adrenaline-pumping dropzone, we proceeded with the 840-metre zip line. A truck picked us up to transfer us to the starting point of the 840-metre zipline. The position in the zip line is in superman position and the ride is almost a minute.

Suit up!

All set and ready to go!

Let’s do this!

Woohoo!

Look up in the sky!

The activities, especially the 840m zip line and Dropzone are definitely worth the experience! Be sure to include these activities in your Northern Mindanao adventure! Thanks for reading!
