Our Adventure @ Danasan Eco Adventure Park - Danao

"It's a two (2) day holiday on Aug. 20 & 21" said my wifey. "So, what's it going to be?", I replied.

It seems that everyone is expecting something over the weekend, so I suggested, "How about going for some adventure in Danao?" "What's in Danao?" my wifey asked. "There's a place that's full of fun and adventure", I replied. "Let's go check it out!", said my wifey. And that's how it started!

It was a coinsidence that my Airsoft Team, Philippine Airsoft Team of Mactan (P.A.C.M.A.N.), also planned an induction of new officers and it was decided that it's going to be held in Danasan Eco Adventure Park in Danao.

As usual my curiosity on the place is getting in to me. Things like, how to get there, how far from the city proper is it, the kind of vehicle to use and all those apprehensions. I search the net, blog after blog, making calls and inquiries from friends and forums but still I wasn't satisfied if I could safely bring my family with me.

I'm writing this blog about our experience and for those who would like to go to Danasan Eco Adventure Park and hopefully illustrate with some pictures, our journey to the park, our fun at the park and our way back home.

OUR JOURNEY TO THE PARK

To go to Danasan Eco Adventure Park (which I will call "The Park"), first, you have to go to Danao City. It is an hour drive from Cebu City. Once you get there, there is a sign board on the left of the road that will lead you to The Park. The duration of the trip from Danao City proper to The Park is also about one (1) hour. It's about 25km to 30km from Danao City Proper. But you get to see some great views on the way though.


I read about the very rough roads on the way but seeing for myself, they are not so much. I recommend using an SUV though or a vehicle that has a higher height from road to to car body. In our case, we used the Toyota Innova (hehehe I'm plugging...) The pictures below are the roads we encountered going there.....

Don't use a sedan (vios, civic etc...) as you might have difficulty in conquering the rough road portions. Some of my friends used a Nissan 4x4 pick up, another used his Sta. Fe (Hyundai), and a Tuson.

 That's about it on going to The Park from Danao City Proper. Next stop is, tatarataaaa........

OUR FUN AND ADVENTURE AT THE PARK

The Park has loads of stuff to fill your need for adrenaline. I'm just going to mention the adventure stuff that we experience in The Park. If you want to know the complete list, you can visit their website by click this link, Danasan Eco Adventure Park .

They have a 400m Zipline and on coming back, you get to ride on a horse. Hitting two birds in one stone hehehe. Below is the Zipline, a view from the window of the Room where we stayed.


After we settled in our room, we explored The Park and the without delay we hopped on the 8x8 off-road vehicle which gave us an awesome tour of The Park with Thrill. This is also one of the stuff you get to enjoy in The Park. It's a very exciting ride. Sometime we pass through the road and just the very bumpy grass and then suddenly a sharp turn which sends everyone off their seats.

So much for the preliminaries, I will continue, with our adventure on my next blog post. But it won't be long.....
