Eco-Tourism Adventure Park
Another crowd-drawer in Loboc, next to the River Cruise is the zipline/cable car ride at the Eco-Tourism Adventure Park. Even if you've already tried the zipline, it's worthwhile to come back another day just for the view and a cold beer (not sure if they serve beer though). The place is well designed, clean and well maintained.
Zipline
A full apron-wrap is put on you from the neck down to the knees and you lie belly-down. This is perhaps the most secure strapping for a zipline - you can't do anything stupid even if you wanted to. Your arms are free to carry a phone cam or video. The entire zip-course takes you above a forested mountain slope, crossing the Loboc River right above the Busay Falls and land on the other side of the river. From a high elevation, the view is exhilarating - you get to see Busay Falls from a different angle, unlike how you see it from the river cruise. The ride is short but sweet.
Cable Car
The cable car ride is more subdued and meant for a short interaction with people inside the car - presumably your friends. Also the slower speed allows you to take a better and longer view of the river below and the surrounding forest.
Ending Thoughts
What I like about this offering is that you get 2 choices and can opt to have both. I've tried many ziplines and it's just that - a zipline (no cable car option). I would strongly recommend trying the zipline first and getting back by cable car - you get to experience the speed-rush of the zipline for that adrenaline rush and then with the cable car, you get more time to see and appreciate what's down below. Best of both worlds.
Thank you Jeffrey and thank you Loboc Tourism!

Exploring Guimba and Sog-ong Caves of Loboc
(Oct 22, 2017) It was surprising for me to hear about caves in Loboc. Outside Loboc, nobody talks about Loboc Caves. But Jeffrey assured me there are quite a handful of caves. They are so obscure, most don't even have names.....more »»
