You should’ve known it,
after days of researching, weeks of rescheduling, finally we have come to meet
our vacancies and schedules. Meet Apple, Allan and of course yours truly, in
our whole day adventure at “Dahilayan Adventure Park” I miss this part! Sharing
posts on adventures.
December 08, 2012,
Apple and I decided to go to Cagayan de Oro in a mission, to visit and
experience “Asia’s Longest Dual Zipline”, whew! that sounds a lot of adrenaline
huh. We stayed at “New Dawn’s Pensionne” located just within the city for a
night, checkout their room, you might like availing it.
 |
| Php980.00 |
Early next day, the group headed to Agora
terminal looking for a van going to Camp Philips. It seems like we’re too
early, so we decided to eat our breakfast in a Jollibee situated inside the
terminal.
 |
| Jollibee breakfast! |
We have waited for
about 30 minutes or so before the van gets full, and yeeess! we’re moving
atlast! Don’t forget to prepare your Php50.00-60.00 fare. You’ll sure to enjoy
your 45-minute travel around.
 |
| Exciting us! |
We landed at Phillip’s
Caltex gasoline station where our contact instructed us to stop. From there,
our hired habal-habal driver Mr. Sanchez (0916-286-4637/0905-736-6318) met us.
I don’t think Php300.00/pax is heavy for a wholeday fare. If good weather is
with you, promise you’ll love the cold air whipping your skin and hair for
another 45 minutes, and the surrounding? Geez, how I wish I can have all those
Del Monte pineapples.
 |
| Finally, we arrived:) |
Finally! We’ve come to
meet our destination. Welcome to “DAHILAYAN ADVENTURE PARK”, where adventure haunts you. We’ve come for this, so let’s get it on! Do I sound too
excited? Hahah. No entrance fee is needed here. At the registration area, we
paid for all the rides available at the park and get these tickets.Php600.00/pax
for all ziprides (150m, 320m, and the longest 840m), Php200.00/pax for Ropes
Course, Php250.00/pax for Aerogliding, and Php750.00(for 2) for Tandem Drop Zone or
Php500.00 for single.
 |
| Super power with our super tickets! |
Getting ready with our
first flight at 320m., here are the crews fixing us.
 |
| Getting ready with our 320m zipride! |
Yes! This is what I’m
talking about, instructions, do’s and don’ts, and the zip. A little walk to
150m zip then woah, blast, Ride again!
 |
| That far:) |
 |
| more photo post! |
Untangling the stuffs
won’t last long enough. Not far from there is the “Ropes Course” where there
are 12 obstacles I think is available, 6 obstacles at the 2nd floor
and another 6 on the next. It’s my first time to challenge myself like this,
and it really is a brave confront.
 |
| Second obstacle, doesn't look easy! |
 |
| It took a lot of minutes before I have completed this obstacle:( |
 |
| I look sooo ugly and tired, but happy:) |
 |
| 7th obstacle, 3rd flr. |
 |
| Another crazy difficult challenge |
 |
| This one is my favorite:) |
 |
| Braved! |
 |
| The End of Ropes course:) |
 |
| This high:) |
Proud to have beaten
the fear:)
Next stop, the 600m Aerogliding
of Apple, popularly known as “The Flying Lizard”. It really is a tough ride eh,
great exercise though. Here’s the lengthy instruction done by the in-charge.
 |
| Don't think it's easy. |
 |
| Bye Apple:) |
 |
| Gliding above! |
 |
| Almost done! |
Next up, we stop at the
“Drop Zone Sky Swing”, never done this before. Geez, I can hear people
screaming out!
 |
| Fake smile! Scared! |
Watching two-people
in their tandem swing truly excites and nervous me. Mixed emotions:) Our turn
now, RRrrrrrr.
 |
| huhuh:( |
 |
| About to release:) |
 |
| 3,2,1... |
 |
| Woooohhhh! |
 |
| It lasted for seconds but it's like ,wooaahh! |
 |
| We survived! |
Spent our lunch at the
nearby “Cowboy’s Grill and Restaurant”, here we watched “marquez and pacquiao 4”
box. Very ordinary restaurant serving affordable and savory dishes. Was checking
their frames and surprised to see lots of stars been coming there.
 |
| lamb steak |
 |
| Pork,,i forgot! |
Fully loaded and
recharged, ready for another take off. So, the group headed to a shuttle nearby
for our last “DAP” 840m zip ride, as the
famous saying goes “Save the best for Last”, last ride in DAP.
 |
| Off to the longest! |
 |
| 840m tandem! yeah! |
 |
| The superman apple! |
At the photo booth, we
availed and claimed our certificate and a photo. Php100.00 for the package.
 |
| Certificate as official ziprider! |
 |
| Another ziprider certificate! |
Whew! Great
achievement! Super satisfied! Perfect Adventure! Really conquered fear!
