Adrenaline Pumping Seven Falls Zipline

Lake Sebu in South Cotabato  is slowly becoming one of the top tourist destinations in Mindanao. If you are within the vicinity, make sure to visit the Seven Falls Zipline. Adrenaline junkies will get more than just the usual thrill that comes with the ride, but a visual treat of the breathtaking view of the falls and surrounding greenery.

The zipline consists of two lines, the first one spans 740 meters and 200 meters in height, readily one of the highest zipline in south east asia. Jump off is at falls no. 1 also known as Dongon Falls (or Hikong Alu in the local dialect which means passage). Once strapped, you can go in pairs or in threesome depending on your combined weight. For the brave, why not go alone to fully experience the exhilaration that comes with the feeling of flying. :) 

Your first zipline will take you directly to the fifth falls or Hikong Ukol (meaning wildflower in T'boli) . I assure you that the experience is one of the picturesque rides you will ever have in a zipline. You will be in awe of the magnificent view of the four falls - the second falls (Hikong Bente or unmeasurable falls, being the tallest of all the seven), the third (Hikong B'lebel meaning coil or zigzag), the fourth (Hikong Lowig which means booth) and fifth falls (Hikong Ukol).

The second zipline spans about 400m which takes you from falls no. 5 (Hikong Ukol) to falls no. 2 (Hikong Bente). Of course if you don't like the thrill the comes with the ziplines, you can always trek down from falls no. 1/Hikong Alu to falls no. 2/Hikong Bente. There are paved pathways which makes it easier, but its a long walk from falls 1 to 2, so be sure too wear comfortable walking shoes. You can always bring your car to the 2nd falls nevertheless. :)  Falls six  Hikong K’fo-I (“Short”) and seven Hikong Tonok (“Soil”) on the other hand is a bit far from the rest of the falls and we were told would take a longer trek down the valley, so we didn't bother finding it.

For the zipline ride, be prepared to shell out P250 (or P200 during weekdays), that will cover both ziplines.
