When someone told me that this is where the longest inter-island zip line in the world is located at first I was a bit skeptical.
Why would they install the longest Zip line in Sablayan? .. But then again why not? 😊
From our Hotel (La Sophia) we took a tricycle to Parola. Along the way my officemate was interviewing manong driver if he'd already tried the Zip line manong driver replied "Di po Ser malululain po ako" "no Sir I'm afraid of heights"..
After 20 minutes we've reached the parola compound. The driver told us the he can't take us all the way because of the steep road. And he wasn't kidding about the slope. approximately it was around 30°-35°.
When we've reached the main entrance, we still have to climb the 7 storey aerial ropeslide. But once you're there you would truly agree that it is indeed going to be a long zip line ride.. Yeah! 😊
Travelling at an average speed of 30-40 kph from Parola area it took me almost 4 minutes to reach Pandan island. My P500.00 is...

Unfortunately, the whole Mindoro island is experiencing issues with electricity. Like in our experience, it was already 1pm and they don't have electricity since 8am. They have to send the batteries to their local government office to charge it using a generator.
On the other hand, what's great is that they ensure that you are safe on the ride. They even check your blood pressure, a first for me in...

Zipline has a cut off at around 11:30 for the morning and will resume at around 2:30 pm (Cut off 4:30). We paid 500 for one way on the zipline and the banca on the way back costs 60 pesos (around 10 minutes ride). The view was spectacular and the ride takes around 3 minutes.
Other than zipline, rappelling and wall climbing, there's not much to do in the park except enjoying the view. There's alot of instagramable area as well.
No resto on the park so you better bring your own food and eat before...
