Cebu: A Close-To-Flying Adventure



If you're in search for adventure, then Cebu is one perfect place to go. Yes, you heard it right, Cebu. Aside from the tasty lechon Cebu, pu-so, otap & dried mangoes, Magellan's Cross and Taoist Temple, this long stretch of island also offers something great to feed your adventurous spirit.

Upon arriving Cebu City, I'm pretty sure you will not miss it's tallest hotel tower, the Crown Regency Hotel. Aside from it being the highest structure in the city, it also has the country's first Sky Experience Adventure treats: The Edge Coaster and The Sky Walk Extreme.

The Edge Coaster is an amusement ride that moves around the edge of 38th floor of the hotel, and it tilts from 30 degrees to 50 degrees. You'll feel like you're falling from the sky! Aside from that, you'll have an amazing view of the entire Cebu Metropolitan. As if you've travelled the whole city by just riding on a coaster.

You can be an instant Anakin Skywalker on The Sky Walk Extreme. Built just below the Edge Coaster, The Sky Walk offers daredevils to walk around the edge of the building through see-through platforms (to give you the feel of walking on Cebu sky!) and to look 37 floors down. (And ooh, you will be seen by people from inside the building haha!). Aside from walking, you'll be asked to do crazy stunts such as sitting on the edge of the platform with you legs dangled on the air, and the one leg stand.

I've tried both experience at night (and I was awarded a certificate to prove that I'm a survivor of the Sky Experience Adventure :D), and it was amazing to see Cebu City all lit up! Now, I'm curious to see the entire Cebu City at day time.. *wink wink* :)
