Attention, zipline freaks! The world’s longest island-to-island zip line can be found in the Philippines — specically, in a town named Sablayan in the province of Occidental Mindoro.
If you’ve ever ventured south from any point of Luzon to the island of Mindoro, chances are you went to one of the gorgeous beaches in Puerto Galera. But while Oriental Mindoro often gets the lion’s share of tourists, Occidental Mindoro doesn’t do too bad either and boasts its own unique attractions.

One such gem can be found in the municipality of Sablayan, which is just over 75km south from the capital of Occidental Mindoro, Mamburao. Sablayan itself is, on the face of it, a quiet town which relies predominantly on agriculture and fishing. But it’s got an exciting secret. It is, in fact, home to the world’s longest island-to-island zipline. Welcome to Sablayan Zipline Adventure.

The construction of the island-to-island zipline set-up reportedly cost around PHP6 million,
which is around $126,210. The local government of Sablayan itself funded the venture in a bid
to draw more tourists to the area.

Situated on top of the hill at Presing Park (also known locally as the Parola Park), the main zipline tower stands at an imposing 21-meters tall. That may not sound that impressive, but when you consider that Presing Park itself is already very high, the cumulative total is enough to make even seasoned mountain climbers dizzy.

The Sablayan Zipline Adventure is open seven days a week. Sablayan residents get a discount
for the cool trip, paying only PHP300 or around $6.31. Tourists have to shell out PHP500 or
$10.51. Bottom line: It’s a great deal for such a unique experience. But it’s not just your ordinary zipline tower. They’ve actually maximized its use by incorporating wall climbing and abseiling elements. People can climb up one side and then repel down the other.

Keep in mind, though, that the zip line has a weight limit for its users. You have to be no heavier
than 150 kilograms or 330 pounds. Aside from giving instructions and safety tips, zip line instructors are on-site to determine whether people are fit enough for the experience. After all, an island-to-island zip line trip is most denitely not for the faint of heart.

Don’t think, though, that the long cable makes for a lengthy ride. The approximate time from top to bottom is less than four minutes.
