South Cotabato: Zip Line at Lake Sebu 7-Falls

South Cotabato, the ancestral domain of the T'Boli tribe and also the home of the majestic Lake Sebu Seven Falls. Visitors often go to Lake Sebu to see the Seven falls and ride the zipline which gives the nicest view from above. 

Upon arrival, visitors will be asked to pay the entrance of Php20 each.

We trailed 774 steps to get up close to Hikong Bente, the 2nd waterfalls and though going down could be easy, going up is completely different story.

This is just a part of the 774 steps going to and from Hikong Bente.

And to the most awaited part, its zip-line time! The easiest way to see the other falls which is divided into 2 parts, a 740 meter ride from falls 1 to 5 and another 400 meter ride passing through falls 5 and 2 on the parking area, this is just where we realized that we should have visited Falls 2 after the zip-line.

Davao Del Sur: Camp Sabros

Camp Sabros is an outdoor adventure camp nested in the mountains 3,900 feet above sea level. Surrounded by tall pine trees offering a relaxing view of Mount Apo. With the cold weather, this place is really breath taking. 

A view from Camp Sabros

On our way to Camp Sabros, this was the view that welcomed us in Kapatagan Valley.

We reached the place by riding a horse from the drop off area where we parked our motorcycle.

Meet Elai :)

The offer ziplines with 380 and 400 meters at 180 ft above the ground where we had  full-body harness positioned horizontally, face down. The view was really captivating while doing the zip line.

Subic Tree To Adventure

Held on the bars so tight and waited for the release, shouted my heart so loud behind the forest trees. Yeah tree top's ride, superman style!

Being an adrenalin junkie, Im always up for adventures. I'm not gonna pass the chance to try Subic's tree top adventure.Located at the densely forested part of the Subic Bay Freeport, Treetop Adventure offers a variety of rides to choose from. Among those rides, we chose 3, The Canopy Walk, Canopy ride and Superman Ride

Started with a little briefing, equipped with harnesses and hard hats, and then off we went!

The Canopy Walk

We walked through the adventure trail suspended high among the trees in the forest. Stepped on suspension bridges that are connected through trees of varying heights. 

The Canopy Ride

This provided us a perfect view and sounds of the forest. The entire forest was serene.

The Superman Ride

The name speaks to itself, you'll be flying like a superman! Lying down, the ride pulled us back and forth to two platforms.

Bukidnon: Dahilayan Adventure Park, Asia's Longest Double Zip Line and Forest Park

Woke up early in the morning and excitedly hopped in the car bound to Bukidnon. Coming from CDO, it was roughly 1 hour and 30 minute ride. Dahilayan Adventure Park is nestled at the foor of Mt. Kitanglad in the town of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. 

Passed by Camp Philips, a long vast pineapple plantation on our way to Dahilayan. 

After the rough and dusty trail, we finally reached the park.

Exploring the place, there were lots of pine trees, and the cold breeze, reminded me of Baguio.

Dahilayan, being the home of the asia's longest double zipline. I won't miss the chance of trying it. Chose to avail the all rides zip line where I was able to do the 320 meters+ 150 meters Dual Zipline. I was not thrilled as I was able to do this kind of zip line when I went to Subic, so this was just a warm up for me.

After the 2 short zip lines, we rode a multi-cab to the launch point that is 4,700 feet above sea level. Measured at 840 meters, it felt like I was flying like superman through the rain forest. It was a very exciting experience, while on the zip line, you can almost touch the branches of the pines below.

After the zip line experience I was excited to try drop zone. This was my very first experience of a free fall. Together with a friend we did the tandem free fall at the height of 120ft. They said that this is the Philippine's first extreme pendulum swing of it's kind. Honestly, my heart beat faster than the zip line. We were pulled up slowly and upon reaching the top, one of us should pull the release and being my first time, I didn't want to pull it, so my friend didn't had any choice but to pull it.

We were hanging up so high, it felt like almost reaching the clouds.

and this happened.....

Swinging back and fort, it was worth it! Such an unforgettable experience.

Fees for the ride:
All Rides Zip Line Php 600

Dropzone Tandem Php 750

After the extreme experience that drained our energy (because of shouting so hard :)), we went to Forest Park just beside the Dahilayan Adventure Park and had picnic lunch. Another wonderful place, can't believe we have places like this in the Philippines. There were also a lot of activities to try here like zorb, ATV, etc.  

So happily playing around the pine trees and those life-size animals around the place.
