Zip Away in Caputatan Norte
Source: Caputatan Norte Facebook PageThe Caputatan Norte zipline is located in… you guessed it, Caputatan Norte and offers zipline, sky bicycle, cable car and tarzan jump adventure options. Here’s a little trivia, this place was the first ever in Cebu to offer sky bicycle rides.
Set up in 2010, Caputatan Norte has gained a lot of local fans (and even foreigners too). They're open from 9am-6pm all week. Only the sky bicycle ride costs 100 pesos, the rest will just require you to shell out 50 pesos per ride.
The best out of all is the Tarzan Jump. Here, visitors would line up and wait for their turn patiently – it is worth the wait. The jump is 15 feet from the ground.
Medellin Hideaway Resort
Medellin Hideaway Resort is located in Brgy. Tindog. The highlights of this resort (other than the beach) is the half kilometer pathway/bridge that is made of bamboo. The end of this bridge leads to a cottage that was built on a sea rock. It is said that the Mayor built this cottage to be the official sea post of Bantay Dagat to protect the Tañon strait from illegal fishing. People later discovered it, and eventually ended up as an attraction, until the LGU developed the place and called it the Medellin Hideaway Resort.
Entrance
- Per Person: 10 pesos
- Cottage: 1,000 - 2,500 pesos
