Go Zip Line at Eden Nature Park in Davao

Sky Rider! That's what they call it.

When i first tried it, i must admit it's kinda scary. I mean, you can see tall pine trees below you and all the people as tiny as ants as you make your way across. If you'll try to shout, you will find yourself running out of voice for the distance between the two towers is i think equivalent to 200 meters long.

The Sky Rider! zip line is situated outside the Eden Nature Park opposite of the main gate just beside the soccer field. It has two 60 foot tower facing each other with two suspension cables mounted on the top of each tower going to the other.

Each ride costs PhP150, that is a ride from one tower to the other and back. Each ride is an approximately 20 seconds of heart pounding and a breath taking adventure. For safety reasons, you will be equipped with a helmet and a set of body straps that is then attached to the cable. As you make your way down going to the other side of the tower, you will hear the rolling and the ripping sound of the cable as you move along the line.

For a more enjoyable ride, try not to close your eyes. If you can stretch your arms wide, then do it. Just try not to touch the cables.
