The main reason I want to visit Eden Nature Park is because of Skycycle. It’s a popular tourist spot in Davao, Philippines and the name itself gives you a clear idea of what to expect. In Skycycle, participants pedal a bicycle in the air while secured with a safety harness. I first learned about this attraction when I saw it on a TV show on GMA 7.

Since my mom is from Davao, we chose to spend our vacation there for three days. Unfortunately, Eden Nature Park was closed last December 25. As a result, we had to reschedule our trip there the next day.
On the 26th, we visited my Lolo at the cemetery and then went to the beach with the rest of our relatives. Needless to say, most of our day was packed with activities. We arrived at Eden Nature Park at around 4:00 PM, not realizing it would be quite far from where we were. For commuters coming from Toril, there are motorcycles (commonly called “singles”) that you can rent for P100-P150 with a driver.
Since we missed out on experiencing the fun Skycycle, we just settled for paying the P200.00 entrance fee. We roamed around the park and enjoyed our free meal, courtesy of the park. The park offers a free meal per person until 5:30 PM only. At first, we assumed the meal would be self-service because the plates were scattered around the bar, but the waitress informed us that they would serve our meal. Unfortunately, the meal took quite some time to arrive, though I suppose that was because there were many people there at the time.
Eden Nature Park Map
Below is the guide map which was handed to us as well as the photos of some of the places that we saw.
Eden Nature Park is a very large park that you will really need to ride a shuttle. They offer a shuttle tour for a fee. It’s certainly one of the best places to be at if you want to feel closer to God, or at least that is how I felt when I went there. It is a perfect place for recollection or retreats.
Beautiful Sceneries
I will definitely come back to complete the adventure. I hope I can try the Skycycle next time. I will try to spare a whole day at Eden Nature Park when I come back. This is because the problem with this particular visit is that my flight to Manila is 9:00 PM, so we had to leave Eden at exactly 6:00 PM. Oh well, until next time, Eden Nature Park.
