After the awesome white water raft adventure, we then went on to another one! I must say that AirPhil Express did really name their promo packages just right as Davao Extreme! We certainly experienced extreme adventures and I must say I enjoyed a whole lot! Even after 3 weeks, I can still feel the same excitement while I share our experiences through this blog 🙂
Zipline was the last stop for our Davao trip. Zipline is becoming more popular in the Philippines. I remember the 1st time I tried riding it was way back year 2000. It’s basically a pulley suspended on a cable. It’s gravity that makes us move from one side to the other. It does look scary especially if you’re afraid of heights. However, I’m confident that riding the Zip-line is safe (well, depending on who put it up of course!).
Our group was brought to Zip City for our Zip-line ride. The place was very accessible and there was great view too! Imagine riding the zipline with a view of Davao gulf and Mount Apo!
First up, we wore our gears. I was excited! I knew that riding the zip-line was cool and enjoyable. Too bad, some of my companions didn’t wanna try it.

We also didn’t need to worry about safety as Zip City used equipments approved by Union International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation (UIAA). Considering Zip City has been doing this for a long time and they are pretty popular in Davao, there wasn’t much to worry about. All we needed to do was to enjoy and have a great time! 😀

Next, we climbed up the stairs. I must admit I was terrified while doing so. I have this weird phobia of stairs, escalators or anything alike. I’m glad I was able to conquer that fear though 😛
Funny that you can see that I was scared in the picture below hahaha! Believe me, I was just relieved that I was able to climb up those stairs! 🙂

Now, the most exciting part was to finally ride the zip-line. Actually Zip City’s rate is pretty cheap at Php 300 per person which already includes a Php 100 food consumable at either Dencio’s Restaurant or Riverwalk Grill.

It was a fast ride but it was soooo much fun! I wanted to do another round but I know we had to go to somewhere else right after 😛

The only scary part was at the other end when we needed to land. The impact was great but I guess, it was all in my mind. I actually landed okay.

I even had a nice smile when I realized that Boom was trying to take my picture! 🙂
