It was our forth and last day in Mindanao. Sealing this four-day vacation was an activity everybody (especially adventurous ones) in Manila wanted to experience - zipline adventure!
From the Benoni
Pier in Camiguin Island, we once again boarded a Roro back to
Balingoan Port in Misamis Oriental where our hired van was readily waiting for us. It brought us up to the Dahilayan Adventure Park located at the town of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, just 40 kilometers away from Cagayan de Oro city proper.

Dahilayan Adventure Park is 4, 700 MASL. The view that we saw from the park was simply satisfyingly splendid! Verdant mountains, thick row of healthy trees, well nurtured pine trees that scented the air and the park itself. That was just the bonus because what we were targeting an why we went there was for us to experience the most exciting fly-by-wire, not only in the country, but in the entire Asia!
The park was obviously well-maintained. A lot of activities are being offered - zipline, ATV, zorb, horseback riding, and even a whitewater river rafting package.

Another bonus when we went to Dahilayan Adventure Park was the chance to pass through the vast Del Monte Plantation and the Planter's Village.
