Cebu Danasan Adventure & Danao Tour

If you’re craving a full day of adventure and cultural exploration in Cebu, the Danasan Adventure & Danao Tour offers just that. For $115 per person, you’ll spend around 10-12 hours exploring Danasan Eco-Adventure Park, trying everything from waterfalls trekking to ziplining, all while visiting some of Danao’s scenic and heritage sites. Your guide will pick you up from your Cebu hotel, whisking you away to a day packed with activity and natural beauty.

What we love about this tour is how it balances thrilling land-based activities with a touch of local culture—visiting a hanging bridge and a parish church adds depth beyond the adrenaline rush. We also appreciate how it caters to outdoor lovers willing to challenge themselves physically, with options suitable for those with a bit of stamina.

An In-Depth Look at the Danasan Adventure & Danao Tour

What Does the Tour Cover?

This tour is a well-rounded day trip combining adventure activities at Danasan Eco-Adventure Park with visits to scenic and cultural sites in Danao City. The tour begins with a hotel pickup from any hotel within the Tri-Cities area (Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Cebu), easing your logistics and setting a comfortable tone for the day.

Once at Danasan, the first thing you’ll notice is the variety of adrenaline-pumping activities. The park is known for its waterfalls trekking and rappelling, which involve scaling down rocky edges and jumping into cool streams—perfect for those who love nature and a bit of a challenge. The skydiving-style skydrop is a highlight, offering a 120-foot free fall that will get your heart pounding. We loved how this activity is described as “suspended mid-air before plunging downward,” giving you a taste of what skydivers experience, minus the plane.

Ziplining is also on offer, and you’ll find options suited for both beginners and more experienced thrill-seekers. This flexibility makes the park accessible for a variety of comfort levels, though keep in mind that the activities are backbreaking and physically demanding—not a relaxed day at the spa. After your adventures, you can unwind in the park’s pool, which is perfect for cooling off and reflecting on your day.

Exploring Danao City

After the adrenaline rush, the tour shifts gears to cultural and scenic exploration. The Sidlak Danao Hanging Bridge offers an excellent photo opportunity and a chance to appreciate Danao’s landscape from above—an experience that’s often described as “breathtaking” by previous visitors. The bridge’s height and scenic views add a sense of adventure on its own.

The visit to Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish provides a quiet contrast, allowing you to soak in some local heritage. The church’s architecture and setting give insight into the spiritual life of the community, adding a meaningful pause after the high-energy activities.

What’s Included and What’s Not?

The tour price of $115 covers a lot of ground: hotel pickup and drop-off, local transportation, bottled water, and main entrance fees for the attractions. These inclusions simplify your planning, ensuring you won’t be caught off guard by extra costs once on the tour.

However, lunch is not included—you’ll need to bring your own or buy at the park, which is a good idea to stay fueled for the full day. Also, alcohol and drugs are prohibited, for safety reasons.

Bring a camera to capture those moments of skydiving and scenic views, and cash for souvenirs or snacks.

Is It Worth the Price?

At $115, you’re paying for a full-day adventure that includes transportation, entrance fees, and a variety of activities. For thrill-seekers, it offers excellent value given the number of different experiences packed into one day. Just remember, the physical demands mean it’s not for everyone, but for active travelers eager to explore Cebu’s outdoor side, it’s a solid investment.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This tour is ideal for adventure-minded travelers aged 15-50 who are in good shape and not afraid of heights. It’s perfect for those who want a mix of adrenaline, scenic beauty, and cultural stops all in one day.
