Tucked in the misty mountains of Manolo Fortich, Dahilayan Park is a premier destination for outdoor thrill-seekers, offering a variety of high-altitude adventures amidst a cool, forested landscape.
Surrounded by pine forests and scenic mountain views, this adrenaline-filled park offers a unique blend of extreme rides and nature-based leisure. It is known for having Asia’s longest dual zipline and other unique rides that cater to both extreme adventurers and families looking for a relaxing day outdoors.
Dahilayan is comprised of two distinct, yet adjacent parts of the same overall resort complex. The Adventure Park is home to the extreme exhilarating rides, while the Forest Park is focused on recreational and family-friendly activities suitable for all ages.
Dahilayan Adventure Park
