Another reason to visit CDO (Cagayan do Oro)  is to ride the longest zipline in Asia at Dahilayan Adventure Park which is a whopping 840 meters long. Dahilayan is in Bukidnon, and it takes only 1 hour to get there by car from CDO.

DIPLOTIPS:

• I highly recommend that you rent a 4 x 4 or a car that is not so low because there is a section that is unpaved where you will be driving on rocks. This is recommended but not necessary as we were able to go using a low car, though skilled driving is required to navigate the tricky rocks.
• Bring a sweater as the climate is cool.

• Wear shorts/pants + sneakers if you plan to try any of the activities.

I loved seeing the blue sky and all the lush greenery of the mountain.

Younger kids or those who are not so adventurous can try the shorter zipline. When you reach the end though, you have to walk back up to the main area.

THE LONGEST ZIPLINE IN ASIA

For the 840 Meter Zipline, you will be taken up the mountain (about 1Km up) via 4 x 4 jeep. Your friends or family can come if they wanna take pictures of you and then they will be taken back down to where you will end via the same vehicle.

• Dual Carrying cables each 840 meters long point to point, Safety cable also 840 meters long;

• Elevation drop: 100meters
• Estimated speed: 60-100KPH.

• Launch point Location at 4000 ft ASL.

Ready! Set! Go!

It really is an unforgettable experience and even TD who is usually afraid of heights loved it. It feels so surreal – like you are seeing yourself in a movie. The ride is so long that you get to enjoy looking at the pine trees, a stream and the gorgeous view. TD, whose hands usually sweat during movies with scary height scenes, was surprised that he totally didn’t break a sweat. It helped that the straps and body wrap felt so secure. I LOVED IT! What an adrenaline rush!

FOREST PARK

After ziplining, you can also try out the Zorbit and ATV down the road in the Forest Park. Fees below.

While we were paying, we encountered kids who were renting out their horses. (They are a bit skinny though.)

Forest Park is super neat. I wish we had tried the play ground but the fog rolled in and it started raining. Still it was a wonderful, cool afternoon.

THE ZORBIT

It was funny hearing the girls scream while rolling. I don’t recommend this to people who easily get nauseous or have motion sickness.

PINE GROVE MOUNTAIN LODGE

After all the excitement, you can either have a picnic at Forest Park (if you brought your own food) or head to Pine Grove Mountain Lodge’s restaurant for a meal. You can even stay overnight. They have a beautiful open air resto (no need for AC here!) which has such a warm homey vibe. The food is good! I recommend the Filipino dishes.

I really loved the lechon kawali (crispy pork) and the deconstructed kare-kare.  For the “silog” meals the tosilog is super yummy. I don’t recommend the tapsilog.

“-SILOG” meals are popular breakfast meals in the Philippines. Usually you have it with TApa (dried beef) for TAPSILOG, TOcino (cured pork) for TOSILOG or LONGganisa (Philippine chorizos flavoured with indigenous spices) for LONGSILOG
