Chocolate Hills Adventure Park

Hubby is home. This vacation, he wants it to be a kind of an adventure. And so, our destination is...CHAP Bohol!

CHAP or Chocolate Hills Adventure Park is situated in Carmen, Bohol where the famous Chocolate Hills are. He's not from Bohol but he has gone to the tourist spots already so now he just wants to be at CHAP.


Similar to EAT Danao or Extreme Adventure Trails at Danao Bohol, CHAP is an eco-tourism adventure park which offers activities for the whole family.

Fees:
Entrance kids - 40 php
Entrance adults - 60 php
No discounts for seniors and drivers or guides.

Upon entering the premises, you are welcomed with the clear, flowing little river on the left side and bushy forest at the right.

At the registration area, you will sign waivers, choose your activities and pay, of course. There is a little bridge over the pond for fish viewing for kids to enjoy.

Activities:
If you get the activities by combo, you can avail their promos, so push yourself! These are what we availed:

  • The Rush (Bike Zipline) and Choco Zorb Ball
    • 750 php per person
    • minimum of 2 persons
  • Chap Body Ball
    • 400 php per person
    • minimum of 4 persons
    • 15 minutes of play
  • Spiderman Wall Climb
    • discounted because we get Chap Body Ball so it's 200 php per person
Food:
You can bring your own but no food is allowed inside the activity area. There are huts and small cafeteria outside the CHAP.

So from the Registration, you have to walk into their wooden walkway up to their Orientation Area for further instructions.
Don't be lost, arrows are everywhere to guide you.
From the Orientation Area, step into their Hanging Bridge.

Go down from the Hanging Bridge then take the stairs up to the Viewing Deck.

At the Viewing Deck, we geared up at the side to prepare for the Bike Zip.

I have every reason to be afraid but I just don't know why I had the courage to bike midair! When I mounted on the bike and started to pedal, the bike just went off to its trip along the wire. OMG! Perhaps that's why it's called The Rush. There's no stopping, ignore the bike being wobbly, you just have to pedal all the way to and from the other end to get back. The Bike Zip trip is 550 meters long and 150 feet above the Chocolate Hills view. Me, my husband and my 62 year-old father (imagine that!!!) went bike ziplining.


They also have this props for The Rush Bike Zip photo ops.

Another adrenaline-pumping adventure we took is the Choco Zorb Ball. Two persons are safely strapped inside the zorb and rolled downhill a 100-meter slope. My father wanted to try this out but he's got no partner. My mother and sister won't do it coz they've seen me trembling and blacked out as I stepped off the zorb ball after being rolled down.

While the sweat is still on, let's go for another challenge - Spiderman Wall Climbing! Weave your way up. Grab the "rocks", step up and ring the bell once you're at the top. The bell signals the CHAP staff to release you down so scream your lungs out!

CHAP Body Ball is a fun variation of sumo wrestling, zorb ball and soccer. You have 15 minutes of play so have a rest in between. The teams are couple versus couple.  Here, you bounce and bump with your friends as you kick the ball towards the goal. It's easier said than done, coz with the heavy ball, numerous tumbling, continuous laughs and giggles, hahaha I don't know where else you'll get your strength to outrun the opponents.

My son wanted to visit their Serpentarium, unfortunately, they did not open it that day for some reasons.

CHAP has also Tree Top Rope Challenges and Gymnaskids. We did not go there as their obstacles are same with Mountain View Rope Course which we already have taken during my parents' wedding anniversary.

After some refreshments, we took few photos.

After all the bops, laughs, screams, and tumbles from CHAP, we went through the dust by riding the ATV around the valleys of Chocolate Hills.

All Terrain Vehicles:

  • ATV motor - 450 php for 30 minutes - good for 1 person and 1 rider
  • Buggy car - 950 php for 30 minutes - good for 2 persons and 1 rider


Our tour guide was also our photographer/videographer and treated us with phot tricks for souvenirs.

Recommendations:
  • Wear something light.
  • Be hydrated.
  • Your shades and towel should come in handy.
