“We did the Osmeña Peak and Kawasan Falls with Zip Line. Highly recommend both. The peak had a lot of clouds but we stuck around and saw a beautiful view after the clouds parted. The hike was short but very slippery. I would highly recommend using hiking boots. You can rent walking sticks there, which I would recommend as well. Kawasan Falls and the Zip Line were a blast. Definitely do the Zip Line. Just a heads up, you need to hop on the back of a motorcycle in order to get up to the Zip Line. It is pretty short so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Our…”
