July 9, 2014 - PRLog -- Taking a vacation in a premium accommodation in Cagayan de Oro City (CDO) not just entitles you to savor indulgent hotel treats, but also gives you an opportunity to enjoy wonderful tours and exciting adventures. And whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning tourist, you'll find this shortlist of 5 of the most enjoyable treats CDO has to offer very helpful.

1. Asia's Longest Dual Zipline

Dahilayan Adventure Park has two 840-meter ziplines with a 100-m elevation drop. In this thrilling ride, you will be transported via 4WD Safari Cruiser to a launch tower at 4,500 ft above sea level. With a speed that ranges from 60 to 100 km per hour, you'll zoom over lush greenery while basking in the breathtaking views of the mountains. Each ride costs PHP 500. Only those between 4’4” and 6’3” in height are allowed to ride the zipline.

2. Nature Park

Considered as one of the most famous Cagayan de Oro City tourist spots, Mapawa Nature Park is a part of a 2,500-hectare protected area. Set in the mountains of Malasag, this haven is endowed with stunning waterfalls, exquisite surroundings, and diverse flora and fauna. This nature park, which is just 30 minutes from the city proper, is also an ideal place for camping and trekking.

3. Whitewater Rafting

The Cagayan de Oro River stretches 22 km long and boasts more than 25 rapids. Two of the most exciting rapids here are: the "Makabundol", where the current takes rafts dangerously close to a rock wall, and "The Rodeo”, where the rafters are encouraged to stand up while in the stretch. A regular 3-hour whitewater ride also takes rafters close to interesting lava formations and giant boulders in the middle of the river.

4. Combined Animal Farm

Philippine Ostrich and Crocodile Farm in Opol, CDO is the first combined ostrich and crocodile farm in the country. This facility, which offers supervised tours, is home to dozens of crocodiles and hundreds of ostrich, with both species being cultivated for meat and leather. The municipality of Opol, where this farm is located, also has a beach where you can find several Cagayan de Oro City budget hotels.

5. Local Food Trip
