Don’t get intimidated with the term “Suislide”, it’s witty but scary to some. But I assure you that it’s not! This is one of the Bohol activity I anticipated so much and a must try if you are looking for extreme adventure.
It is a long travel by land going to Danao Adventure Park in Bohol, Philippines. Danao is a little town in Bohol which take 2 hours of travel from Tagbilaran City. In early 2000, Danao is considered as the poorest municipality in the province but recently it has grown to be Bohol’s center of attraction for eco-adventure activities. In cooperation with the local government of Danao and non-government organization, Danao offers a range of exciting extreme activities and the place known as E.A.T or Eco, Educational, Extreme Adventure Tour.
One best adventure that you should include on your list when visiting Danao in Bohol is the Suislide. It is basically a zip line activity consisting of a pulley attached to a cable mounted on an incline cliff. You can enjoy Danao’s Suislide by riding on two lines, going forth and back unlike other zip lines, you only allowed to ride with one line because the exit is on the other side. The safety harness are durable and for sure the local government checked and test this before giving them permit to operate.
Some say Suislide is such a scary term as it seems to be a suicidal slide for those who are petrified with heights and I’ll say yes to that somehow because I felt nervous too at the moment I tried it. But the true meaning of Suislide is that coined from the word “suis” means the sound of a cable ride once you slide on it and the word”slide” coined for simply slide.
Danao’s Suislide traverses around a half kilometer from one mountain to another, taking you to less than a minute with an exhilarating and breathtaking ride. You can traverse by one or two. It can carry at least 5 tons.

How To Get There
Majority of Bohol tour is in countryside only. On our case, we huggle the tour guide and we just add Php 2800 for 3 pax going to Danao Adventure Park. The location is so far way plus going back again to Tagbilaran, so I think the 2800 additional fee is fine.
