From the place we're staying, we hopped onto the Irawan-bound multicab (PhP18/person) and got off at Crocodile Farm. From there, we talked to the Irawan Eco Park representatives. They offered to give us discounts to the canopy zip line (from PhP799/person to PhP700/person).

At the registration area, you could pick the activities you want and pay for it there. If you decide to try the other activities later on, you could pay for it at the park activity area. We waited for 10-15 minutes for someone to bring us to the activity area. However, their multicab service seems to have an errand so we rode on a motorcycle (they asked if we're ok with it). It was a bumpy 10-min motorcycle backride.

When we got to the activity area, I'm surprised that not a lot of people were there. I think they still need to do some marketing for this Eco park. Anyways, after wearing the harness, we're off to the zipline adventure.

There are different starting points for the zipline, depending on which you signed up to. We tried the longest one. To get to the starting point, we have to walk up about 60 steps.
Ready... set... go!

| The 1st leg is the longest, can't see the end of the zip line from this point... if I remember it right, it was 914m |
The 1.3 km zipline is composed of 3 segments. The first one is the longest (about 914m). Then, you have to go up some steps to go to the 2nd one, which is about 300m. The last one is the shortest (about 100m) but the fastest. For this, the staff will give you tips on what position you have to be in when you get near the end (not sure if I got it right though, hehehe).
Having tried different kinds of zip line before, the experience was just ordinary. But what makes it special is doing it with my 68-year old mom. I'm so proud of her!
Here are the rates of the activities in the eco park:

hi... advisable kaya gawin ito ng 1-6pm? balak ko kasi ito na lang instead of city tour.
ReplyDeletethanks
Hi... ok naman ito even in the afternoon. Hindi ko lang alam kung up to what time sila, baka hanggang 5PM lang. Wala kasing kuryente sa activity area (solar panels lng gamit nila para sa kuryente maghapon).
Deletethanks for the reply...
Deletemga ilang minutes kaya ito from the city proper? lapit din ba ito sa crocodile farm?
Btw, saglit lang naman yun mga activities, of course, depende kung ilang activities gagawin mo at gano karami customers pag dating mo dun. I think kung mag-start ka ng 1-1:30PM sa mga activities, you could be done by 3PM. After that, pwede ka pa mag-crocodile farm para sulit punta mo dun.
DeleteYun sinakyan namin na multicab is Irawan-bound (around 30-45mins). Dun kme sa crocodile farm mismo bumaba. Meron area dun offering Irawan eco park activities. Kung wala kang sasakyan, they will call somebody to bring you to the registration area (no extra cost yun). Pede ka rin magpahatid back to crocodile farm pagkatapos ng activities mo.
Deletethank you so much... your reply & blog is a big help for me. our family of 5 will be in puerto on November pa... now pa lang nape-preassure na ko sa plan & budget. :)
Deleteyou're welcome :) glad to be of help.

ReplyDeleteFrom city proper, sakay lang din kayo ng multicab na papuntang Irawan. Sabihin nyo lng sa driver na baba kayo sa crocodile farm para ihatid kayo hanggang dun. Medyo lagpas kse ng terminal yun crocodile farm eh pero walking distance lng din naman. Pauwi from crocodile farm, lakad lng kyo pabalik dun sa terminal, papuntang city proper yun mga multicab dun.
Deletepapunta naman Irawan Eco Park, normally ata mga tour group yun nagpupunta dun pero pwede naman ata mag-rent ng tricycle. kung gusto nyo naman, try nyo kung meron pa sila booth dun sa crocodile farm. they offer free transpo naman to and from the eco park.
hope that helps.
