What is the Sky Experience Adventure? This is Crown Regency Hotel and Towers’ most exciting offer for its valued guests. If you haven’t heard or haven’t experienced this adventure yet, below are the important details you should know. PHOTO CREDIT:

Sky Experience Adventure includes two separate adventures – the Edge Coaster and the Sky Walk Extreme. The Edge Coaster is a world’s first. It’s quite like an amusement park ride where you will be locked on your seat while it is tilted 55 degrees on the edge of Crown Regency’s 37th floor, around 130 meters above the ground. Whew!

The crew will do the first control on how tilted the coaster would be. The excitement of the rest of the ride after the initial tilt will solely depend on you. By the way, the coaster is two-seater so have your most trusted buddy with you. Scream at the top of your lungs while you tilt the coaster and marvel at the beauty of Cebu City.

Next one, the Sky Walk Extreme. Imagine walking on the edge of a tall building, on a see through floor, without railing to hold on to. This is what the Sky Walk Extreme is all about. This is a thrilling experience brought 126 meters above the ground. Scary? You will be strapped on a harness (trust the safety, otherwise you won’t enjoy it) and will be instructed to wear an orange and blue apparel.

If you are terrified with heights but you really want to try the Sky Experience Adventure, make sure you are in the best condition before you try either the Sky Walk Extreme or the Edge Coaster. These adventures may scare the hell out of you but the experience will all be worth it in the end.

You can check the rates and schedules and online reservation of the Sky Experience Adventure on its official website www.skyexperienceadventure.com.

So, are you on for a sky-high Cebu adventure?

Your significant someone would be delighted if you bring him/her somewhere he/she hadn’t been to. Here are some of the most common destinations in the Philippines during Christmas vacation?

Theme Parks

There’s Enchanted Kingdom at Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Kids and even kids at heart would line-up to the happiest place in this side of the country.

There’s also Star City in Pasay City which boasts of their Snow World attraction. So if you happen to miss a white snowy Christmas, be here.

Beach Resorts

People still crave for the relaxation on beach resorts, no matter how cold it could get here during the holidays. Who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas in Boracay? If you’ve been there for a couple of times, then why not try El Nido? This is perfect for those who want to have a super Christmas adventure on the waters of Palawan.

Batangas also boasts of beach resorts. San Juan and Calatagan has an array of resorts from luxurious to affordable ones.

Have a merry Christmas in the Philippines by being in any of these destinations!

Why not go to Kalinga, Cagayan de Oro, or Davao for white water rafting? Among all the activities best enjoyed during rainy season, white water rafting is the most suggested activity by travel organizers since the river is high and the rapids are bigger. Adventure lovers will surely appreciate the rapids more this time.

So instead of postponing your plans for a trip, try other destinations like Davao. Let’s get wet and wild with the rapids.

The coolest weather in Cebu is from December to February and hottest from March to May. The rainy seasons begins in July bringing torrential downpours.

For the hottest months, it is much comfortable to wear natural fiber and lightweight clothing. If you’re heading to the beach, bring shorts, hats, sunglasses, insect repellent, and sunblock cream. You should also bring tough shoes or rubber shoes for walking. When attending formal occasions, Barong Tagalog is the acceptable formal wear for men.

Since you already know what to bring on your trip to Cebu, pack up and enjoy the trip to the Queen City of the South.

Travelling can be stressful and boring most of the time especially if it’s a long road trip. To make your travelling experience fun and enjoyable, here are some of suggestions for you.

*Bring your camera

Take advantage of the scenic views that you may see during the travel. Your personal photos taken are the best souvenirs from your trip. I’m sure photographers do have a great time on trips.

*Food Trip

Try out each place’s specialties. Local restaurants for sure have these as their best-sellers.

*Make friends

If you’re travelling alone, you can make friends with other travellers to have someone to talk to. Who knows, a great travel buddy might be just around you.

*Bring PSP or play your favorite mobile game

This I think is the favorite past time of most of the travelers specially for teenagers and some adults who are fond of gaming.

*Listen to your favorite music

Last but not the least, listen to your favorite music. As much as possible, listen to something that sets up your mood for the day.

These are some practical tips to enjoy travelling. Some ways to enjoy your trip don’t even cost a penny. Enjoy!

1. Search the net for airline promos. Take advantage of air fare discounts. You know this is where you can save the most if you are updated on the latest promos.

2. Travel in a large group. A group of 10 would do. Why? So you can save much on rentals and resort accommodations. This is also a nice tip for adventure trips like when you go on island-hopping or something.

3. Search for the cheapest, yet comfortable hotel or resort accommodation. This is a better option especially if you are to go on a beach and you would spend most of your stay outdoors.

4. Befriend a local. Better if you already know someone from the destination you plan to go to. He might accommodate you or help you find the best place to stay that’s within your budget. Since he’s a native of that place, he knows where to take you so you could have the best vacation.

5. Souvenirs. I don’t know if you tourists are aware of this, but prices of souvenirs get lower as the day ends. So if you want to buy something to bring home, go to the local market in the late afternoon or early evening before the stores close.

These are just five basic tips on how to have a cheap yet enjoyable trip to the Philippines’ most coveted tourist destinations!

If you decide to travel in May, consider the following points:

1. The rainy season could start as early as May yet the hottest temperature can often be experienced during this month. It’s kind of confusing though.

2. When choosing where to go, make sure it’s the safest place to be at in either sunny or rainy days. Choose the most flexible accommodation where the quite unpredictable weather won’t ruin your stay.

3. What clothes should you pack? Still due to the unstable daily weather, it’s safe to pack lighter clothes (preferably cotton fabric) for a hot sunny day and then bring sweater or lightweight jacket in case the weather gets cold at night. Bring a travel umbrella and a pair of shoes that’s, again, flexible for both weather.

4. Local tourists usually flood in April and May because of students’ summer vacation. So if you are to go to a popular local resort, might as well make a reservation to guarantee you of a better room to stay in.

5. Look for a destination that offers a wide-variety of both indoor and outdoor activities. In this way, you won’t be waiting in vain for the sun to tone down its hotness a little bit or for the rain to go away.

Have a grand, happy vacation to the Pearl of the Orient Seas. For more questions about travelling to the Philippines, just leave us a comment and we’ll get to you right away.
