Caption This Adventure: Canyoneering Experience in Badian Cebu

"Dito tayo guys". Yes, we arrived at Kuya Ronald's house after almost 3 hours of bus ride from South Bus Terminal. They were so accommodating and in fact there were other groups in line -  and they were from Manila. Kuya Ricardo (Kuya Ronald's older brother), assisted us in preparing our vest, helmets and shoes and he became our guide - an awesome guide I must say. Kuya Ronald catered the other group. 

We headed directly to Kanlaob River, Alegria via habal-habal where the first jump was located. The first jump was just a short walk from the habal-habal jump-off. 

Then we faced our first challenged, to jump with a 17-20 ft high waterfalls. We were hesitant to jump at first but we have no choice but to jump because there was no other way unlike the other jumping points where you can bypassed them by crawling to the edge and swim.

It was kind'a high at standpoint of the jumper but just take a courage to jump and the next jump is going to be easy. 

We were lucky to have Kuya Richard as our guide. He was very accommodating and even helped the other group to navigate the canyons. And top of that he was our official photographer. :D

Kuya Richard our main guide

Kuya "B" one of our guide.

It is advisable to have a two canyoneering guide to ensure the safety of everyone. The desirable ratio is 1 guide to 5 persons. 

We ready ourselves for more adrenaline pumping adventure as we navigate the canyons. 

Our canyoneering experience was an opportunity to explore nature in new level. We are surrounded by lush rain forest with spectacular rock formations, clear natural swimming pools and overall canvass carved out by nature. 

Moreover, our canyoneering experience catered us the trill of activities as how it was defined by Wiki.

After almost 3 hours we reached the last jumping  point. It was totally packed with the other group of adventurer waiting in jumping line. They were hesitant to jump because of the height - this was the one of the major jumping point. But actually this can be bypassed by scaling down the rock. 

And we reached the 3rd level of Kawasan point in 4 hours. It was a superb experience and truly the best part of our weekend. 

I would like to extend my thanks to Kuya Ronald, Kuya Ricardo and Kuya "B" for helping us out through the canyons. Credits to Orville Langga for all the photos taken during our canyoneering. 

You guys, I would like to recommend to try canyoneering sometimes and experience the thrill with surprises each step of the way.
