The Biodiversity walk is a 1-Day outdoor excursion where students will enjoy an adventurous day-hike activity while fully immersing themselves in nature. A slow-paced, relaxed hike on an average trail difficulty with lots of enjoyable and fun stuff to learn about the local & exotic wildlife of the Philippines. During the entire day we will be identifying different types of plants and animals that we will encounter along the trail. Learn about their characteristics, habitat and their important role to our ecosystem.
This is a kid-friendly program with lots of fun group activities. Students/participants shall be required to bring their own meals (packed lunch, trail snack, & hydration). At noontime we will stay at a designated campsite where we will be having our meals and lunch break right in the middle of the wilderness.

Dexter Rama –
This course is a good introduction to enjoying the outdoors. I expected an easy hike thru the mountains or along a river bank and didnt expect the challenging 10km+ route, but it was absolutely worth it. The guides constantly assess the group and have alternate easy routes if it gets too difficult for the pack. I joined this course with my wife and 10 year old son and will definitely join more activities in the future.
