You have four options to go to Dahilayan Forest Park if you’re coming from Cagayan de Oro City:
Option 1 – Recommended for Solo Traveler
Go to the Agora Bus Terminal/Market City and take a van to Brgy. Camp Philips, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. (P60). Once you’re in Camp Philips, take a habal-habal (motorcycle) ride to Dahilayan Adventure & Forest Park (P200 – P300 per person). Prepare for a mask or handkerchief to cover and protect your nose from dust. Some portions of the route are dusty due to rough road.

Go to the Agora Bus Terminal/Market City and take a van directly to Dahilayan Forest Park. One way trip fare is P300 each. But you have to wait for other passengers.

Go to the Agora Bus Terminal/Market City and take a taxi ride to Dahilayan Adventure & Forest Park. Travel time is 2hr to 2.5hr. One way trip fare is P1300. Ideal for group travelers. (P325 each for 4 persons)

Travel Tips When You Visit Dahilayan Forest Park
- The weather in Dahilayan Forest Park is so cold so you have to bring your jacket (It’s like visiting Baguio or Tagaytay)
- To better enjoy the scenic views and try all the rides, you have to spend at least 1 day in this park. We weren’t able to try their rides since we have a very limited time. We just explored the Forest Park and took some pictures. (we arrived at 10pm and left the park at 9:30am the next day).
- If you can spend 2 days in Bukidnon, you can also try to visit the Dahilayan Adventure Park, where you can try the longest dual zipline in Asia (840 meters of pure speed and adrenaline)
