“The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a thousand peaceful days” – Paulo Coelho

The acronym “YOLO” meaning “You Only Live Once” is a saying that has been said for many years now, and it’s true that a person can only do so much in their lifetime; So, what better way to experience and enjoy life than to do things to an extreme level? The Philippines has so many places to explore and various activities to do but nothing beats that hit of adrenaline when you go for an extreme adventure! 

This list is for everyone, especially for the adrenaline junkies out there, here are the 5 Extreme Adventure Activities to do in the Philippines.

5. Canyoneering

Location: Kawasan Falls, Badian, Cebu

Here in Kawasan falls you can experience the joy of canyoneering, which is a type of activity where you explore canyons using different techniques like walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, and swimming.

4. Wakeboarding

Location: Capitol Hills, San Marcos 3400 Cabarroguis, Philippines

Wakeboarding is a water sport wherein you ride on a shortboard with foot bindings on it and it is usually done by a rider being towed by a motorboat to glide through the water, but in Quirino Watersports Complex, you can have the same Wakeboarding experience but with a cable system instead of a motorboat pulling you, making it relatively safer and cheaper too! But don’t get me wrong though, it’s still an adrenaline-inducing experience once you get on that wakeboard.

3. Hiking

Location: Mount Pulag, Benguet

What’s more extreme than climbing the third highest mountain in the Philippines and the highest mountain in Luzon! Sitting at 2,928 metres above sea level, Mount Pulag definitely deserves to be among the best hiking spots in the country, and quite possibly in the whole world! Sure, it is quite the challenge to hike to the top but once you get there, you’ll be greeted with the most breathtaking view in the entire country.
