Bukidnon's beautiful sites are indeed on my bucket list. I always see photos and posts about Bukidnon on social media. I was thrilled that I finally checked one of my Bukidnon checklists when I visited Dahilayan Forest Park in Manolo Fortich.
It was a sunny day. We had a work-related trip to Cagayan, and we were given the chance to experience Dahilayan Forest Park. Entrance fees were collected upon our arrival, and I got a stamp. Upon entry, we saw the welcome park for kids. I then imagined my kids being there, playing joyfully.
Since we only had a limited time, we decided on what activities to avail ourselves of. Here is the poster for the activities available in Dahilayan Forest Park.
We selected the Ride Package Solo with Forest Luge, Hanging Bridge, Mini Golf, Go-Kart, and Bumper Boat. My friends and I excitedly paid the fee.
In the cashier area, we were informed that the Bumper Boat was unavailable because it was under repair, so they offered us the Rainbow Slide. Our first station was the rainbow slide. When I saw others doing the rainbow slide, I heard them scream. When it was my turn, I did the same, screaming out because I could not explain the feeling of sliding down fast with a bit of bumpy place and going down again.
After the rainbow slide, we proceed to the Hanging Bridge. It was about 80 meters long and 30 meters above the ground. Through the hanging bridge, you can pass through to the Forest Luge while enjoying the scenic view of the park. The good thing was that we were the only people on the hanging bridge at that time, so we had the freedom to take pictures individually, and here's my entry.
After passing the hanging bridge, we had a group photo, and we proceeded to the Forest Luge. We chose the luge to ride on and then started our journey downhill. I liked the feeling of driving downhill; it would take 2-3 minutes before arriving at the destination. The luge was two rounds, so we did it twice. The second time around, it was faster.
Then, we had our Go-Kart Driving. At first, I had difficulty driving, but I realized it was just like driving a bicycle; I just needed to pedal it properly. I enjoyed the two rounds of Go-Kart Driving.
Then we had a pictorial with the vintage cars and trains and hiked at the mountain with pine trees.
Then we went to Mini-Golf, which I didn't have any idea of what to do. I just went there for a picture taking.
After the pictorial, we proceed to the restaurant for our lunch. We felt the cold air while waiting for the food, even if it was sunny. Well, Bukidnon was a cold place. After lunchtime, we traveled back to Davao.
That was a short but memorable experience in Dahilayan Forest Park. One day, I will be bringing my family with me. I know the kids would be delighted.
This is my entry for the last days of Pinmapple, I hope I can still pin this.
