The intrepid bloggers, Andrew, Ria, Winston and I, went to see what the buzz was all about at the Outland Adventure camp in Ma-a, Davao City. For nearly a decade, it’s been known for their ropes course, a corporate team-building facility out in the boondocks. Now there’s the Xcelerator — the longest zip line in Asia!
I’ll let the video tell the story. This is a home-made and -edited amateur vid, so please bear with me. 
The Xcelerator is open Saturdays and Sundays only, from 8am to 5pm. They don’t accept reservations — just be there before 3pm to make sure you and your group can still be accommodated. See, if there are plenty of riders and it’s late in the afternoon already, you might be turned away. Call 224-5855 for inquiries.
To get to the jump-off point, we hiked for about 20 minutes (which included the photo stops) to the top of a steep hill. We also had to cross a lake on a raft — very nature-tripping. The whole experience from the camp to the trek to the zip line, and the waiting in line, took about two hours. The zipping itself is barely a minute… but it seemed to take forever because it was soooo high and long but fast!!!
It’s an experience you must not miss in Davao City. The Xcelerator — experience some atmosFEAR!
The camp is located in Ma-a, along the diversion road, near and across from GAP Farm. Coming from Ma-a Road (and from Matina), turn right left onto the Ma-a Diversion Road. I don’t remember how much farther on it is, but once you pass GAP Farm (on your left), you’ll see the Outland Adventure sign on your right after a few meters.
Make sure you and your group are in proper clothing. Also, the folks at Outland Adventure say that the minimum height is 4 feet, so children below this height won’t be allowed to ride the kilometer-long zip line. The fee is P300 per person.
Aaaaack! Too bad I missed this.
I woke up at 1130. I thought it was Ria or you calling me up —ndi pla. Oh well, c’est la vie. I’ll just wait for your next Outland trip. :p
Wow, that looks awesome. I have a zip line of my own in my backyard, but it’s not even close to that long. I got mine at http://railrunnerzipline.com . Check it out if you’re looking for a fun project!
ibang klase! kung ako siguro maiihi ako during the course without unzipping my line (saw what I did there?)
wow thats a nice experience blogie , nong pag bisita namin sa davao di namin alam na may xcelerator pala sayang hehhee kasi sa eden kame nag stop, next time nlng cguro kame bibisita jan sa outland adventure
sana pag natuloy yung DAVAO FAT, pupunta talaga kami ni misis and this xcelerator thing will be on my list!
@Chattee — Bantay ha…
@fritz —
@amelia — The zip line @ Eden is also a good deal, pero kung baga sa skiing, it’s like the bunny slopes of zip lines.
@arpee lazaro — Tuloy na tuloy ang Davao FAT! And yes, we plan to bring the group to Outland Adventure.
muzta na mga oa nang batch 7?
hahaha. that was fun!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
inggit akoooooooooooooooooooooo
@Winston — Make sure to come back for Davao FAT so you can ride again!
@migs — Hmmm… wala bang zip line sa bukid nyo? Kala ko zip line gamit nyo para gumala-gala eh…
I think you mean “turn LEFT onto the Ma-a Diversion Road…”
@tonex — You’re right! Thanks.
wow! i have tried the zipline in eden… i thought of going to Camp Sabros for another zipline experience… I will resked my Camp Sabros trip and try the Outland Xcelerator instead..
Thanks kuya Blogs! (–,)
@sweet — “Kuya” ka dyan!
Based on what my friends have told me, it’s better to go to Outland than travel all the way to Camp Sabros. But if you can go to all of them, why not, right?
is this the same zipline tried by the crew of the show “Kay Susan Tayo!” in GMA? am really dying to try this CRAAAZY ride…hehehe!
@hyacintha — I wouldn’t know, I didn’t see that show. But you should try the zip line @ Outland. Now na!
The last time I was in Outland Adventure, they were still constructing it. Wow, tapos na pala?
@hyacintha — I saw a part of that episode. No, they went to Barangay Kapatagan of Digos City, Davao del Sur.
@ blogie
wow! you really are enjoying it the thrill and adrenaline rush. heheh.. cool chill out music sa vids
@DavaoBase — Tapos na tapos na! You should try it para ma-feature mo rin sa site mo.
@iceman9 — Thanks!
i;ve tried the Sabros zipline twice and it was so exhilirating. I am really looking forward to trying Xcelerator. Soon!
Oh, we missed this!
I went to Davao last week (Feb 6 to 9)! We went to Paradise Island for an overnight and then we headed to Eden’s Park where we tried their 200-meters zipline (skyrider). I was able to chill at MTS and People’s Park (so daming PEOPLE). hehehe
Ack, this is something that I need to try! I’ll tell my Davao friends about Xcelerator and I’ll force them to take me there hehehe…
You should try it! :goodluck:
Hey thanks for reading my blog. :happy:
