Dahilayan Adventure Park

Before going home from Camiguin trip, we dropped-by at Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon to have a taste of the Asia's longest zip-linein Dahilayan Adventure Park.

Dahilayan adventure park is already featured in different sports tv. This is also the setting of KC Concepcion and Sam Milby's movie.

From Manolo Fortich highway, go to the Del monte Plantation road going to Camp Phillips which is just barely 30-minute ride. From the Camp Phillips Rotonda, your landmark is the big pineapple statue. Then, you'll passed by homes of the employees of Del monte passing the Camp Phillips compound.
half-way to Dahilayan
From Camp Phillips, Dahilayan is almost an hour drive thru rough roads with pineapple plantation as a good view with a good cold weather.

Dahilayan Adventure Park is an environment friendly park. It is a non-smoking zone park and were surrounded by beautiful pine trees and well maintained grasses plus the good weather condition.

Since, its almost lunch, we took our lunch at Pine Grove Mountain Lodge, and some rest while waiting for our turn in zipline zone.
the posers!!! ☺☺☺

In Dahilayan Adventure park, you can do a lot of things. From the extreme one to just simple strolling around the place.

☞ What to do in Dahilayan Adventure Park:
  •  Zip Zones 
             840 meters zip-line – P500

We tried the well known 840m  Asia's longest zip line.

From the waiting station at the park, the shuttle will bring you up the mountain for your jump-off point.

a pose to the jump-off point!!! exciting!! ☺
At the jump-off point, that is where you will be dressed up with all the safety gears and they will give you safety instructions.
waiting for my turn!!
Not a zipline firs-timer, I find it thrilling but got a little bit bored in the middle of the ride, indeed it is the longest zipline.
Fly like superman!!! ☺☺☺
I CONQUERED!!! ♥♥♥
After our ride, we got our certificate as a proof that we've conquered the Asia's Longest Zipline.
WE SURVIVED!!! ♥
We wanted to do the rope course and the wall climb but it was under maintenance when we were there.


At 3pm, it's bye bye time for us.. It's time to go home!!! ☺

Another Fun Roadtrip Experience: The Way to Camiguin Island

This is another roadtrip experience. (^_^)

Camiguin Island is situated in the Northern part of Mindanao. From General Santos City it is a more or less 9 hours of road trip depending on which way. And, we chooses the shorter one the Via Carmen, North Cotabato.
 Route: Gensan-Marbel-Tacurong-Pres. Quirino- Buluan-Datu Paglas-Tulunan-Matalam-Kabakan-Carmen-Maramag-Valencia-Malaybalay-CDO-Misamis Oriental-Mambajao

And the journey begins.....

@ Koronadal City, First stop-over
We left Gensan at 7 pm of Friday, 5 vehicles convoyed with each other. After almost 5 hours on the road, in the middle of the mountain in Carmen, North Cotabato one of the vehicle got a problem, we've stopped for awhile but knowing that its a dangerous area we let it run up to Maramag, Bukidnon and get some help.
what to do when stranded?? EAT!!!☺
And we're stranded in Maramag, Bukidnon for almost 3 hours then. Then we're off to Cagayan De oro at 3am.
@ Cagayan de Oro
At 6am, we were in the boundary of CDO and Bukidnon highway, and we had our breakfast there.
