Outland Adventure's The Xcelerator Zipline

Waaaah. Over over late post na! Nalimutan ko na to ng slight dahil sa kung ano anong gawain. 

So for our third day in Davao, we decided to go Zipline. There are other Zipline facilities within the city but we preferred going here considering the length and height. It is a 1.1km zipline which is actually divided into two. 500 meters on the first and 600 meters on the other. Height is about 400 meters.

I can't really remember how much is the fee but it was more or less Php500.

 Harness Station / Briefing Area

Fixed the harness and discussed the route that we'll be taking.

 Their assurance of your safety :)

A 10-15 mins ride to the jump off point.

 Jump off point

 Very minimal trek to the second and last jump off point

Cute photo of someone while on ride.

You can choose to ride in different positions. Sitting, Superman and Inverted. Had Superman on the first way and inverted on the second.

Waleeeey. Nahilo lang ako ng very light. Haha. Sitting position is still the best for you to enjoy the view :)

Deca Wake Park, Davao City

As I've mentioned on my previous post, this trip was more on the chill side that's why there are only few I can blog about, actually the right term would be very few since it will only be on 3 tourist spots we went to. And because I don't have a lot of time now, 1 post per spot :)

On our 2011 trip to Davao, we went to Deca Wake Park but didn't get the chance to ride for some reasons. Story: http://chingkyquijano.blogspot.com/2011/11/from-davao-with-love-part-2.html

Passes were lost, though presented, it will still be invalid since they had a change of management :)))

We spent 2 days in Deca. Afternoon of our 2nd day and afternoon of our 3rd day. I didn't wake on the latter, over sakit ng katawan ko parang nadala ko pa sa Manila yung sakit.

Deca, subdivision talaga siya tapos may wake park lang. swerte ng mga nakatira sa Deca!! May discount pa kapag home owner :)

 Rates

Cheaper than other Wake Parks

Infairness naman! Nakaikot na ako ng ilang beses! Siguro nasa pagtuturo din! Mukang water start kasi sa CWC e. :)))

No photo habang nakaride, tamad-tamaran mga kasama ko. 

I find the people there super nice!! From the instructors, beginners and the professionals!! I don't know if it's just because Davaoeños are just friendly and nice or whatever. Haha. 

Pero mas nabonggahan ako sa professionals! 

Pro1 while on his ride coming right after me when I got knocked down somewhere in the middle

Pro1: Okaaaay ka laaang? (sumisigaw pa kasi ang layo namin at naka-ride siya)

Me: Okaaaay laaaang!! :D

Ang sarcastic di ba? Hahaha. Di ko alam kung pinagtatawanan niya lang ako or what, pero sa tone naman ng sumisigaw niyang boses, mukang hindi naman at sana hindi naman. Hahaha.

Pro2, natayo lang sa lake side at naglalakad ako dahil nga nabagsak ako sa pagkakaride ko. Nung malapit na ako sakanila, lumapit.

Pro2: Saan ka nalaglag?

Me: Dun sa second. (second orange something. Haha. Basta na lang!)

Pro2: Ay, ganon? Kasi...........................

Ayun, tinuruan pa ako ng techniques at nagusap pa kami ng konti. Infairness naman sakanya, alam niya yatang di ako nagbibisaya kasi nagtagalog agad siya nung kinausap niya ako.

Sarcastic man yung isa, natouch pa din ako. Kahit magaling na sila, humble pa din. :)

Another reason to love Davao, it's people!! :)

That's me! Chos!! :)))

Awesome view of Mt. Apo!!!

Deca Wake Park

Tacunan, Mintal, Davao City

http://www.decawakeboardpark.com/

If there's a sport I really wanted to be into as of the moment, it would be wakeboarding. I don't know, mas masaya pa din ang lahat kapag may tubig na involved! :)))

Sana lang may tricycle na umiikot sa wake park para pick up-in ang mga nalalaglag sa bandang gitna. Like sa CWC. Nakakapagod ng bongga maglakad! :D

There's also a Deca Wake Park in Clark, Angeles, Pampanga. I just don't have any idea kung same ang rates. :)

Paradise Island Resort, Samal Island

Paradise, I was here more than a decade ago. :)

Others probably know that Davao is my Mom's hometown. And it will always be good to be back home. My mom is not really fond of travelling but she would always mention of going back to Davao kahit 3 days lang daw tapos kahit di naman mamasyal at sa bahay lang. I don't really know how it feels like but I am very happy knowing that she is also happy though we won't settle there for long.

I don't know what came into my mind and get a flight on Christmas Day. Haha. Or yun na lang siguro yung available sa seat sale na nakuha ko? Haha. But at least we were able to celebrate Christmas Day both in Manila and in Davao. Oha! (ganon na din kadelay tong post ko, sorry naman po.)

Less tour compare to our 2011 visit.


PARADISE ISLAND PARK AND BEACH RESORT
Samal Island, Davao
http://www.paradiseislanddavao.com/

I remember going here when I was still a little kid. Dati kasi every summer vacay, umuwi kami sa Davao. Tapos dito yata kami parati dinadala. Haha. My Aunts and Uncle would say na mas okay pumunta dito. Mas maganda at mas enjoyable compare to this one super famous beach resort in Samal na super mahal din. (blind item ito. chos! haha)

Day Tour entrance fee: Php200

 Ride a boat in Sasa Wharf with a minimal fare. As in sa paradise na ang baba. :)

You can also park your private vehicles sa may wharf.

 Their restaurant, beach front.

Impressive I must say, di lang basta nilagyan ng tables and chairs. Still presentable though filled.

There are also tables and beach chairs few meters away from the water.

Bongga ng shore at water. Malinis din!

Sorry naman at literal na malaki akong panira sa picture. :))))

During our vacations when I was still a kid, malinaw na malinaw sa memory ko na super mabato yung beach. As in nag-aqua shoes pa kami para di masakit sa paa. Pero ngayon, wala na ang mga bato! Kung meron man, super konti at malilit na lang. They are doing many stuffs to maintain the beauty of the resort hopefully without being too harsh to the environment. These "stuffs" are discussed in their website. 

 Few of their offered amenities.

They serve good food with reasonable price.

 Grilled Tuna

 Pork Barbecue 

 Chicken Barbecue

 Kinilaw na di ko alam :)

Paradise also offers different shows for free just for their customers. There are regular shows and others may depend on how special the day is like Christmas Day or New Year's Eve.

 Carnival Show

 Bongga mo Kuya! Haha. Ikaw na!

After the carnival show, may acoustic band pero we chose not to watch it na lang.

 Thumbs up for Paradise!! Nice to be back!!

We didn't get the chance to really go around the resort. They have other amenities aside from the water sports, see website :)

MANA DAVAO / MANA CASA DE ARTES Y ANTIGUAS

J.P. Laurel Avenue

This antique shop in Davao City is known to light up the street on Christmas Season because of its spectacular Christmas display which started December of 2000. They have different themes for every year.

After having dinner with my cousins and their cousins, we just passed by Mana and didn't care to go near since it was filled with people taking pictures. It was good though!

Had a few drinks at hill top after and went home.
Btw, nice meeting you cousins of cousins. :))
