Fly High at the Asia's Longest Dual Zip-line in Bukidnon

  
Dahilayan Adventure Park - Zip Zone
This is the third and last installment of our MNL-CDO trip. 


If you're already in Cagayan de Oro City, why not extend your adventure at Bukidnon province. It's about 40 kilometers away from Cagayan de Oro City proper. 


Try to experience another breathtaking and heart-pumping adventure and this time on air.



Dahilayan Adventure Park is the newly opened national park, about 4,700 feet above sea level, located in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. It is famous for its longest dual zip zone consisting of dual carrying cable each 840 meters long from point to point (same length for the safety cable). Elevation drop is about 100 meters.

Zip Line Moments at Bukidnon
Zip-line in Action
The whole zip zone experience was really breathtaking. If you really love to fly like Superman, this adventure is highly recommended for you. It is really best if you try the 'all ride package' to maximize the fun and excitement at the zip zone. It's really worth it. This is the best zip-line adventure I've ever had.

The Pineapple Farm

Bukidnon is really famous of its pineapple farm. I was amazed on how the vast area of pineapple farm is maintained.


Bukidnon is also known with its cool mountain breeze and pine trees like Baguio of the South. Be sure to bring your jackets or sweaters or even umbrella since the weather here is unpredictable. 



Chill Moments in Bukidnon...

Now Bukidnon is also famous for grabbing a remarkable record where Asia's Longest Dual Zip-line can be found - another Philippines pride!



This was August 2010 and now the adventure park offers other exciting activities like horseback riding trips, ATV rides, the Zorbit and a mini-boat ski ride etc.
