Bukidnon bids a wide-ranging selection
of outdoor activities perfect for family, friends, kids and kids at heart.
Dahilayan Forest and Adventure Park located at Barangay Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich Bukidnon,offers a
wide variety of thrilling and heart stopping activities good for adventure
seeker, a playground and lots of fun activities for kids. It is also a good
place for those who just want to unwind or escape the busy city and just relax
and feel the beauty of nature that surrounds the area.
Some activities
offered at Dahilayan Forest Park: (Forest Park is a separate attraction situated just a short distance from the Adventure
Park)
The Zorbit
is definitely one of my favorite.You will be strap securely inside the giant inflated
bouncy ball, good for two persons that will be roll along the hill towards the
bottom. The experience was so sensational, you will feel a little bit of
dizziness upon exiting the giant bouncy ball. Price at P250 per head and P150
per extra round.
Dahilayan Forest
Park is also one of the few places in the
Philippines where you can try to ride the luge (similar with the go cart) and
race with your companion across the course while you savor the cool air of Bukidnon
for P 600 you can do the luge twice. It is also safe for kids who wants to try.
The monkey
Tree Challenge wherein you challenge yourself to climb the 40 feet above the ground man-made post and ring the
bell at the top then let go, the harness will take care of your descend
securely. We tried this twice, it’s really cool for the price of P 50 per head.
Barrel Train is
a 10 minute ride that is safe for kids and kids at heart, it will leisurely tour
you around the park while enjoying the view. P 50 per head.

Dahilayan
Adventure Park where you will experience the extreme activities.
They offer
a variation of activities that I thrillingly indulge. First on the list is the drop
zone. You are suspended (120 ft) in the air with your partner and will be asked
(via megaphone) to pull the lever if both of you were ready, at that point you
will experience a 5 seconds free fall before the swinging motion (pendulum like),
you can’t help but scream because of mixed excitement and fear. I discourage to
try this if your stomach is full. Payment would be P500 per person and P 750
per pair.
The free
fall in which you will climbed the steel platform (like a cell site tower) that’s
8 storey high, you will be harness accordingly and will be guided to walk over
the edge of the platform also wait for the instruction before you jump. I didn’t
like this activity for the amount of P400, you will experience a free fall for
about 1 second before the harness will gradually descend you until you reach
the bottom. Not so worth the price for me.
There are
also open tables for rent for as low as P100 per table on weekdays and P200 per
table on weekend/holiday, you can relax and watch the kids play at the pine
trees and take pictures at the scattered life size animals around the area.
Here are the list of other

P 250 per head

How to Get
There
- From Agora Bus Terminal, either take a jeepney or van bound to Brgy. Camp Philips, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. Fare is 50-70 pesos. Hire a habal-habal (motorcycly) that will take you to Dahilayan Forest and Adventure Park. Hiring a habal-habal usually costs 200-300 pesos (back and forth) depending on your negotiation skills.
- If you’re coming from Davao City, take a bus bound for Cagayan de Oro and ask the conductor to drop you off at Manolo Fortich, some of the conductor knows a habal – habal driver so better inform them that you will visit Dahilayan Adventure Park so they may contact someone that will take you to the park.
