First adventure – Tree Drop/Rappelling

Tree Drop 1

See that caution sign? No one can get in without safety belts in place. Below is a shot of the short bridge going to the main area of Tree Drop or the dropping/falling area… walked here just fine, no tension yet! I know I can do this!

Tree Drop 2

Okay, we’re here now…you have to stand on the ledge with helmet, gloves, harness attached and most important – LISTEN and FOCUS with Kuya’s instructions… I must admit I failed here, didn’t focused and can’t even remember now what Kuya was saying because I was at that time too damn scared…My Gahhhhhhhd! TIP: Never look down!

Tree Drop 3

Now, it is time to make your harness work and compose yourself as if you are flying… this drop is called the Australian style. Kuya will hold your hand for awhile then with his loud go signal whatever word he was saying you will quickly go down… Weeeeeeeeeeee! It was really so so fast, as if your face was being erased…Hahaha.

Tree Drop 4

Here’s another shot while falling…

Tree Drop 5

A shot from below…

Tree Drop 6

Another way to go down is the Spiderman style, head first, feet on top, and you have to make your way down with your hands. Looks more fun and easier? Well, you can just try both styles and see which you like best…

Tree Drop 7

Another shot of the Spiderman style…still trying to position herself the right way…

Tree Drop 8

For emergency landing…hehe or in case whatever style you were trying didn’t worked, you can just do this position, as if you’re lying down… then they can just pull you down…

Tree Drop 9

Once you landed, someone will be there waiting for you, will assist you in removing all those stuffs…hairnet, helmet, harness, and gloves…

Tree Drop 10

Just sharing this shot, I love this picture, find it so funny, my friend was so happy and laughing real hard when he landed…a funny side-effect of this Tree Drop Adventure…Hehe.

Tree Drop 11

Want to try it? It looks easy when you’re watching others do it but once you’re there on top, you really have to compose yourself and remove all the fright… it was so FUN and a very thrilling experience!

One weekend, we decided to travel and do something different as a group. Subic Tree Top Adventure was our choice of destination for our March getaway. We knew that we would wear harness, swing from trees, easy and fun as that, right?   But…uhhhmm… hanged and dropped 60ft high to the ground, soared from tree to tree up to 450 ft long and 100ft high and explored the forest sitting up to 100ft above the ground was definitely a thrilling, heart-stopping, challenging and one-of-a-kind adventure!

Tree Top Adventures

Tree Top Adventures offers 6 different activities namely, rappelling, canopy ride, trekking, interactive free fall, superman ride, and silver surfer. Interactive free fall is their newest ride but we were not able to try it, we just had their Package E adventure at 620php per person which includes rappelling or tree drop adventure, canopy ride and superman ride. We had so many pictures so I’ll be blogging each ride we had, a better and closer view of everything about it.

Harness Station

Above is a shot of the harness station for the tree drop and canopy ride adventure. Below is a shot of their main lounge/dining area/watching area; almost everyone there were waiting for their turn, taking pictures, resting or having lunch or snack.

We had our lunch arranged when we booked for our Package E adventure, set lunch meals for 175php… honestly, we were dismayed, food was so poor in taste and quality, they didn’t get our orders right, drink was just a small glass of iced tea but good thing their leche flan as dessert was okay.

Waiting Area

Here’s a shot of Tree Top’s house rules, have a look and get to know every detail before taking their adventures. You have been warned! Hehehe.
