BOHOL TRIP PART 7: CHOCOLATE HILLS ADVENTURE PARK
Contents
After my Chocolate Hills visit, my tour guide brought me to the latest offering of the Chocolate Hills – the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park (CHAP). The Chocolate Adventure Park offers outdoor attractions such as a zipline, canopy walk, hiking trail, various tree top adventures like monkey bridge, pipe dreams, a bike zip– a 275-meter zip line using a mountain bike to cross from one chocolate to another. The zipline is rising 150 feet above the ground.

The park entrance has souvenir stalls and a small restaurant fronting a natural pond wherein you can feed the fishes. I was experiencing hypoglycemia at that moment so I decided to stay for a while at the “serpentarium” while waiting for my sugar level to rise again. I forgot what I was feeling at that moment because we were entertained very well by the caretaker of the “serpentarium “ that exhibits not only snakes but hedgehogs and sugar gliders as well.
Soon after I felt okay we proceeded to the 248-step stone pathway leads to the wooden view deck along a hill slope. Chocolate Hills Adventure Park (CHAP) viewing deck provides an alternative vantage point of the endless verdant hills of limestone.

Bike zipping! This is something new! I need to revisit Bohol, especially after the earthquake as I was there year 2003 pa!
Claire,lets organize a group tour soon 🙂
the last time I was there was in 2009, no adventure park yet. and it was typhoon season. Is this place lower than the viewing area for the chocolate hills?
almost the same Doc. In fact when the viewing deck wasn’t available yet after the quake , people would come here to see other hills…
The adventure park is new! It wasn't there a couple of years ago when my brother and I went there. That is so nice. Maybe in a few years, I can already bring the whole family there. 😀
yes, and they have more offerings that tourist would really enjoy…
