DAY 1: CDO Whitewater Rafting- Expert Course
After Lunch, a van is waiting to take us to Bukidnon. This is still part of KAGAY package. The trip to Bukidnon took us 2 hours because of an accident that causes major major traffic. On the way we all take a nap to recharge. When I woke up all I can see around are pineapple plants.
Trivia from kuya driver: 1/4 of Bukidnon is owned by Del Monte thus the land full of Pineapple plants.
We arrived at Zip Zone Dahilayan Adventure Park late afternoon so they ask us to rush and get our gears because it starts raining. The place is foggy with a little rain shower thus the super cold weather.
Look how foggy it is
We try the 320/150 Zip line first.
I love the feeling of flying. The weather is cold you can feel the dew touching your face. heaven!
After we finished the 2 zip lines, we waited for the vehicle to bring us to the 840m zip line. Asia’s Longest Dual Zip line from a launch point at 4,700 feet above sea level.
When we get there the guy setting our gear commented ” aba, ang lalakas ng loob ng grupo na to ah walang natatakot” and yeah we are super excited it must be the adrenaline rush!
I feel like a bird flying . My only worry that time what if I got stuck at the middle of the line because my body weight is so light I might not even get to the finish line :p .. well I did it I was able to reach the end of the line (although medyo bitin wala pa sa platform kaya hinila ko ni kuya)
We wanted more but it started raining so we get our certificate (P100 each with photo inside).
We headed back to Cagayan de Oro. We had a stop to KAGAY office to get the DVD with our pictures from the rafting.
They drive us to the hotel. It was jeri and elouise who booked us to New Dawn Pensionne. We got 3 Executive Room (P1,350/ room. I think off peak season kaya mas mura rate kesa sa website nila ).

The room is very spacious. We love the bathroom so white and clean. The beds are so comfy and their elevator is digital astig!
We went out to eat dinner. Irish suggested BUTCHER’S BEST BARBEQUE.
Here’s our order :
Chicken Barbeque – The chicken is soft and easy to munch down.. wala pang 1 minute ubos na
This is what I ordered. ( super sarap) I believe this is their specialty. The beef is so tasteful and tender, it’s one of the best beef I’ve tried in my whole life.
Sisig, one of my comfort food. WARNING: Nakamamatay…. sa sarap
another comfort food Pork Barbeque, love the spicy one
Meal is not complete without garlic rice.
You must try Butcher’s Best Barbeque especially the Grilled Black Angus Beef Belly which I think is their specialty. The food was superb promise! I’ll go back to CDO for this
After dinner we already call it a day.
