Be acquainted with nature and indulge in an authentic mountain experience. Enjoy the nature's air breeze and be amazed by the spectacular view of pine tress around the park. Have fun with a lot of its amenities and its recreational activities with your friends and family. Appreciate the different cultural treasures of Mindanao.

Eden Nature Park is located at Eden Bayabas Toril, Davao City (around 30-40 minutes away from the city proper).


How to Get There?

The place is pretty easy to find. If you drive your own car, you can check it via Waze and Google maps. If you are not familiar in Davao City, you can ride a taxi or request the resort to pick you up.

If you are planning on commuting, here are some helpful tips for you:
  1. From Davao City proper (downtown area0, take a Toril Jeep (PUV). You can see them at Aldevinco in Roxas St (in front of Ateneo De Davao University), you can also find then near University of Mindanao in Bolton St or you can also check SM Ecoland. Jeepney fare from downtown proper going to Toril is Php30.00.
  2. Inform the driver to drop you off at Mercury Drugstore in Toril. Once you are at Mercury Drugstore, you can easily find and notice motorcycle or tricycle drivers that can bring you to Eden Nature Park. Try to haggle on the fare if you can. From Mercury Drug to Eden Nature Park, the fare is usually at Php200 to Php300.

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Due to pandemic only a few amenities are available in the location. So I suggest to ask first before doing your reservation.

If Eden will return its operation (which I assume they are as of this writing), you can enjoy the following recreational activities:

Guided Shuttle Tour
For those eager to get a glimpse and be fairly oriented of the Park’s 40-hectare attractions and amenities in a short period of time, take the 45 minute guided shuttle tour. Availability is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Skyrider 

Ready for a sky-high adventure? Eden’s Skyrider is the perfect blood-pumping treat for you. The Skyrider is a set of 200-meter long steel cables suspended roughly 20 meters in the air between two steel towers, on which you glide along suspended while enjoying the spectacular view of Davao City and the Davao Gulf.


Skycycle

Pedal your way through the sky with Skycycle and feel the adrenaline rush as you bike on a cable 60 feet high with a distance of 200 meters.


Skyswing

The resort set the bar if extreme rides to a higher level as it introduces another extreme ride attraction, the first-of-its kind on Davao region-the Skyswing. Standing 95 feet off the ground, the ride will literally swing your heart out to the skies giving you an extreme feeling of excitement, satisfaction and fun. The ride will surely challenge your limits at the resort’s highest and fastest adrenaline rush. All ages are welcome to enjoy the ride, provided that reach the height requirement of 4 feet and within maximum swing weight of 300 kg. Feel the anticipation rise as you are slowly elevated to your desired height. Hanging from your harness, you will be notified by a whistle before you will be dropped. The ride will take approximately 10 minutes including putting on safety gears. 


Horseback Riding

Horseback riding is definitely exciting, relaxing and refreshingly outdoorsy. Explore the trail, lined with beautiful pine trees. Leave the stresses and worries of life behind you and take in the splendor of the scenery. For beginners, rest assured that the guides are skilled and knowledgeable enough to make the experience worthwhile fun and safe.  


Fishing Village

Experience the simple joy of fishing and eating what you catch. Our ponds abound with tilapia (St. Peter’s Fish), dory, and hito (catfish). Whatever you catch is weighed and paid for. You may either take these home or eat it fresh from the pond. Choose from four different ways of cooking: pinaputok, inihaw, fried, and paksiw. For a minimal fee, our village staff will serve your fish dish in your preferred manner of cooking.


Swimming Pool

Take a refreshing dip in our swimming pool surrounded by lush vegetation. This used to be an infinity pool with the Davao Gulf as a horizon.  However our lush forest has nurtured rather tall trees that now obscure the horizon-but we think the ambience is just as divine! This blue, kidney shaped pool is 4.5-feet-deep. For the young ones, the pool has a shallow area (roughly 3 feet), as well as a kiddie pool. The snack bar provides food and refreshments after a swim.  


Indiana Jones

Children and adults alike can entertain themselves while waiting for their meals in its huge playground at the Vista Park and will surely feel pure exhilaration as they experience the popular Indian Jones.


Skywheel

Another one-of-kind feature where guests can walk inside the wheel while it’s up to 60 feet meter.
