Alpine coasters are a popular ride at many resorts in Europe. (Has anyone here heard of the 3,300 foot-long Glacier 3000 alpine coaster in Gstaad, Switzerland?!) Basically, the ride resembles an outdoor roller coaster with bobsled-like carts that run down a track on a hill.
With its exquisite highlands, the Philippines most definitely makes a great alpine coaster spot! It’s fascinating how this can pave the way to a higher tourism rate in Bukidnon — an underrated gem in Northern Mindanao. (On that note, make sure to travel safely, everyone!)
In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, Dahilayan Adventure Park temporarily closed on 17 Mar 2020. Finally, it started welcoming guests again on 4 August.

Upon entering Dahilayan Adventure Park, guests are to get their temperature checked, fill up health declaration forms, and pay the ₱50 entrance fee. And yes, face masks are required — even during rides.
Dahilayan Adventure Park is open every day from 9am to 5pm. Guests may check-in at Pinegrove Mountain Lodge for overnight stays.
Dahilayan Adventure Park boasts of several superlatives. Aside from the , the park is also home to the longest dual zipline in Asia and the highest parajump platform in the Philippines.
