by Tynne De Leon | July 30, 2016

Being a diverse archipelago, the Philippines houses a lot of different places and attractions that cater to all kinds of adventurers. Filipinos have always been known for our mettle, always open to the new and exciting. We’re willing to spend for anything that’ll spark our interest and make for a good adventure, which is why thrilling activities  can be found wherever you go.

For those who love to live life on the edge, here are some activities you just have to try.

Rollercoaster Zipline

Nuvali, Laguna and Sandbox, Pampanga

Budget: NUVALI- PHP150 (individual rate) – PHP450 (minimum package)

SANDBOX- PHP150 (individual rate) – PHP340 (minimum package)

Ditch the plain, straight trail of a regular zipline, and get twice the thrill with a rollercoaster version. Experience the ups, downs and turns of a zigzag path while you’re at an exhilarating height, above a nice view of everything nature. However thrilling, this ride is 100% safe as instructors always check the harness. Even acrophobics who want to conquer their fear of heights can give this a go.

The roller-coaster zipline is also a great avenue to shout out all your feelings. Just remember not to close your eyes because the thrill is in keeping them open.

You can try Asia’s longest rollercoaster zipline solo, or avail a package at Nuvali’s newly-opened Camp N. With the package, you can try other exhilarating activities that’ll surely bring out the adventurer in you.  You can check out other attractions and packages here.
