White Water Tubing, Sarangani

We headed to New La Union Maitum to experienced the White Water Tubing. We rented a cottage then ate our lunch. After we took some rest, we rode on a habal habal that brought us to the jump off point.
They give us a quick instructions about this activity. I listened very carefully as this is my 1st time to try this. We would be using inflated rubber tube with 2 handles to hold on to. According to the instructions, balance is very important, and never let go of the handle.  Everyone on this activity have their own guide (1 rubber tire for me, and 1 rubber tire for my guide).

And the adventure begins. I lied down on the tube, went to the water, and we were carried by the water flow. The current is strong. One of the exciting part are the big rocks on our way. My guide is strong enough to avoide those rocks. 
Another exciting part is that, I let go of the handles, because of the strong current. So I felt down and carried away by the water. But of course, my guide is there to save me.
I really had fun and very exciting adventure for php150.

Lake Sebu 7Falls ZipLine, South Cotabato

From Maitum, Sarangani, we headed off to South Cotabato. Our main reason is the Lake Sebu 7 falls Zipline.
Scenic view from our car

Oops, we found a small park in the middle of the road. We took photos on this park. This is the T'boli tribe park.

It's not my 1st time to ride in a ZipLine, but I'm still nervous.

One of the most beautiful view. We saw 2 waterfalls were just below us.
We've crossed to the other side of the mountain in just a minute.

This is the 4th waterfall that we saw (we didn't able to see the 3 more waterfalls)
Then we rode on a habal-habal ride to take us back to our point of origin ( 1st waterfalls)


Lunch Time: fresh Tilapia from the lake 

Lake Sebu, one of the 3 Lakes in the area.
But because of the weather condition, we didn't able to ride in a boat to explore this lake.
