What to do at UCM Adventure Park
Before anything else, UCM Adventure Park prides itself as the “pioneer of ATV rentals.” It offers one-seater ATVs and two-seater buggies that go through an hour-long fun trail or two-hour-long experience trail.
Aside from ATV rides, the park also offers horseback riding and camping. Whether you plan to stay overnight or just drop by for a day trip, you can rent tents, trailers, or nipa huts of all sizes.
For those looking for a quick day trip, UCM Adventure Park also has thrilling activities to share. One of its most popular rides is its bicycle zipline. Operating from 6am to 6pm, the ride lets guests cycle at an 80-foot altitude for 200 metres. Talk about breathtaking!

Not much of a daredevil? You can also opt to cross the hanging bridge instead. The bridge is perched up the same level but lets guests, safely buckled up in harnesses, cross at their own pace.
As of writing, these activities are for walk-in guests only and require no reservations.
