So even if you don’t have any experience driving a motorized vehicle just like me, you can easily learn how to operate an ATV.
It was Saturday morning when Kristian and I decided to head in Antipolo, Rizal, which is just 3 hours away from our home. Both of us are craving for some adventure. Good thing, he discovered this nearest ATV EXTREME Adventure from the Metro.

Aside from that, you also need to gear up with safety equipment such as helmet, gloves, kneepads elbow pads and must sign a waiver of liability.

We took the Marikina River Tour Adventure, which is the popular package and suitable for those up for the more challenging one. This activity will last for 4-5 hours journey to the mountainous jungle of Rizal. It’s a long trail where you can even take a dip during the summer season. You’ll also pass through remote trails, hilly terrain, and pine trees which are great for photo ops.
During our escapade, the road is getting rougher and rougher. For the first-timer like me, I considered this road is really quite challenging because it involves a lot of technical uphill and downhill sections.
You’ll feel like you’re a legit adventurer traveling into the wild. I swear, it was so fun.
The last path we’re taking is the river trail, where we’ll get witness the Marikina river and even drive into the waters and get all soaked up.
From here, you can explore the area, swim into the river and see the hanging bridge nearby.
Overall, it was an amazing break from the usual city madness. It was incredibly satisfying even though it’s quite challenging due to the narrow path which makes the driving tough and extremely steep trails which will require more strength from your ATV.
Here are some details for those who want to try it out for themselves.
