Iligan Paradise Resort and Eco-Park: The Iligan's Pride Paradise

Tired of busy city life? 
Step out and challenge yourself by visiting Iligan Paradise Resort and Eco-Park. Let your family celebrate life as it unfolds in this vibrant ambiance resort and eco-park in Iligan City. The resort provides several picks of adventures specially offered for the family to bond. 



Yes, zip-line is one of the adventures offered by Iligan Paradise Resort and Eco-Park for every visitors, but wait, it's not just any zip-line that you may have experienced in the past. Who is your favorite cartoon hero character? Hmmm.. okay! 




Here it is, the unique feature in their zip-line is that you can do zip like Superman...can you picture it out? Well, this would really be exciting and romantic if you would tag along with you your special someone in this wonderful experience just like in this photo. Before I may forget, you can't do superman ride when there is rain, management policy:)






If you just want to be alone or you just don't want someone shouting to the highest tone in your side while doing the zip, then you can do it alone.

Another thrilling feature about the zip-line is the wonderful view of Mimbalot Falls. While on the line, you can bring with you your digital camera and take a photo of the Falls. Believe me, up there is a very amazing view, you won't regret it. 


This scenic view is available when you are on the zip-line or when you are conveniently sitting in the cable car.









As shown in this photo, you can really just sit back and relax in the cable car while enjoying a better view of the scenic Mimbalot Falls.
 As I mentioned earlier, the cable car is another pick for an adventure, well, that is  if you can't afford to fly like superman :) It could accommodate up to three to four persons depending on the weight, because there is a weight requirement. The seat may accommodate four but if the edge of the car touches the ground even if only just two or three have seated, then its ready to go.


Fly like a bird! The Bungee Trampoline, you can twist back and forth, you decide, and it won't disappoint you. It will give you a soothing experience of  being tossed into the open sky and fell like hollow mass on the platform.







The Bungee Trampoline is what I considered the extreme experienced I had in the resort. Why? I just suffered two sleepless nights aching from body pains (maybe my body was not ready for it). At start, I was really very  reluctant trying this one. I saw some of my friends doing it and it looks like I can't make it. The same feeling when I was in the Universal Studios Singapore last July 14, 2011 when my classmates asked me to have the Galactic Ride...I did not try it though! But, I don't want to waste the opportunity like I had in Singapore.
As I heard the owner and manager Jopet Gerona saying "go try, its an opportunity" what I had in my mind is that "why not? its really an opportunity this time because it's free, the next time I will have the opportunity I will have to pay." So, I did grab the opportunithy! and i suffered hahaha I was just kidding!.. In the end  I was really satisfied and grateful, I conquered the fear of it the same feeling I had when I took the "Revenge of the Mummy" ride in Singapore. 

Lovette really did a good job in this picture! thanks.

If you desire to try this adventure, pray and make sure it will never rain when you visit the place, since the policy is No Bungee Trampoline adventure during rainy seasons, because rain water will affect the elasticity of the rubber band and the platform will be slippery. Safety first!

Wanna Ouch?

Now, lets go to another adventure of which I believe is not only for the adult but most especially for the young member's of the family. No other than the Indiana Jones. As you can see in the picture, it really looks fun as you slowly move like a wind from the upper part to the lowest end of the ride. This adventure is not really that extreme but for the sake of safety, please listen to the safety instruction given by the crew. "Don't let your head banged on the rope". On the other hand, safety precautions are placed in every ride. Failure to listen and follow the instruction is equivalent to a big OUCH! but its fun :)



Who said only children can swing?


After getting tired of the play Arlene Collado, Noy Iko and Jerick didn'`t spare the swing for a few minutes rest.






On the one hand, the resort never fails to provide adventures for the young members of your family. They offer colorful, clean and child friendly playground for your young one's to enjoy. Beside the Indiana Jones are several swings and seesaw also known as a teeter-tooter for them to play.



Nobody pays attention to the seesaw, I could have a hop on it if there was someone who is willing to hop on the other end of it.





Lovette, plays a role of a child photographer who wants to play the slide but decided not to do it,  instead,  she gave a  pose and  the sweetest smile  she could :)









Who said nobody gets tired? then, make sure you choose one among their accommodations offering. I am sure when you arrived at the site you won't miss to see these sheds which are gorgeously lined along the driveway which are made from either nipa or cogon and bamboo. I am so certain that this could provide you a total protection from the rain and the sun.



However, if you want to enjoy the view of the Falls and you want some privacy, you can take this tree top shed. 










On this site will soon rise a convention center. A plan of the management we have to look forward to especially those of you who organizes parties and other events. This space is presently utilized as a car parking space for visitors and guests.


Our visit to the resort really made me sweat to the max. But its all worth it because of the amazing experience. Oh! before I may forget, the resort crew are very accommodating and very friendly. When I have spare time from school works I will surely come to the place once again with my family. Wanna join? hmmm...come with us and you can bring your family as well.

So if you happen to visit Iligan City don't forget to pay a visit Iligan Paradise Resort and Eco-park. Its truly a paradise of adventure for the family and view worth conquering your fear of heights for!
