Tagaytay Ridge Zipline


Tagaytay Ridge Zipline

June 18 ,  its actually a day after our 16th year wedding anniversary and we decided to visit Tagaytay for _nth time just to try the newly installed Zipline in Picnic grove

How to get there :
1) Manila or Baclaran  -  if you are in Manila area or in Baclaran ,  just take mini buses or bus going to Mendez / Tagaytay,   there are lots of buses going around the area  , Saulog , Kirby , Celyrosa Bus line, Erjohn and San Agustin - the bus will pass thru Coastal road, SM Bacoor , Imus  via Aguinaldo highway.   I am not sure if the amount is still the same ,  but the bus fare is about Php 120-130 ,  about 2-3 hours travel

2) Alight at the Tagaytay Rotonda, where Days Inn,  BPI bank, Chowking, Jollibee , 7-11 as landmark

3) Take the Jeep going to Picnic Grove ,  Php 8.00 per person or take a tricycle and they will ask you about Php 50.00 to Php 60.00 per ride

Picnic grove :
When we got there,  we were really hungry,  so we just grab a meal in front of the picnic grove,  the food is cheap and their Bulalo is great,  waiters are courteous and very accommodating.we ordered Bulalo, Calamares and Softdrinks.


 now we're now full and ready to explore the place

Picnic Grove Entrance fee : Php 25.00 per person ,  Table rentals 100 - 250 per table

Enjoy the sceneries , especially the overlooking   Taal Volcano



You can also enjoy a 15 mins - 30 mins body massage at the Picnic grove - fee is about Php 100-200 depending on your negotiation skills


after the long trail,  we saw the Tagaytay Zipline
Fee- we took the package - 2 way for 2 persons with 1 mug and  2 pictures Php1,000.00 and be ready to experience the exhilarating ride 150 feet off the ground , 250 meter long with 60 km/hr speed

                      

If you want to try the horseback riding in Picnic Grove,  you may,   just pay an additional Php 200-250 per horse .  The Picnic grove is known to be one of the cheaper attractions in Tagaytay so definitely expect to be crowded  especially during weekends.


Make sure that you bring your cameras with you

and don't forget to bring additional money to stop by at Amadeo to buy  "pasalubong" like "bunch of bananas" hanging ,  dried mangoes, "sukang paombong",  green and ripe mangoes and especially buko pies that are all available along the road!!!
