Me and the members of our university's student publication, The Trailblazer, had our annual mid-year fellowship at one of the best tourist spots in Northern Mindanao - the Dahilayan Adventure Park or simply "Dahilayan". This adventure park is located many kilometers away from Cagayan de Oro City, in Barangay Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich in the pineapple province of Bukidnon. If you and your friends are planning to go there and have some awesome adventure, it is best if you have your own transportation. By the way, Dahilayan Adventure Park features its renowned ziplines which is actually Asia's longest! Aside from that, the adventure park also has other recreational services such as horseback riding, zorbit, and ATV. Moreover, if you just want to have a picnic with friends, no problem. Dahilayan has sloping picnic grounds covered with green, luscious pine trees and a small park for children to play. Also, Cowboy's Grill is located nearby. So back to my experience.
Most of my co-Trailblazer members already met at the city proper, while me along with my two other co-writers from Jasaan decided to wait to be fetched my the van at Puerto. At about 6:30 am, the van arrived and so we started the 1-hour travel to the most exciting Zipzone adventure. Along the way to Bukidnon, we've seen the wide pineapple plantations from both side of the dirt roads we've traveled. Aside from that, the air became crisp and cooler. By the time we were heading near Dahilayan, we can definitely see the scenic view of the Park as well as the ziplines. The view was really breathtaking!

It was indeed a memorable experience I had with my Trailblazer family. Now I know how it feels to be like Superman! Everybody enjoyed the whole day of zipping and flying. Not to mention everybody's tummy were oh so fool with such an amazing foodtrip. Wish I could go back again in Dahilayan Adventure Park soon!
