Green Canyon Resort in Clark, Pampanga–staycation with nature and outdoor adventure

I got a chance to try for a staycation here in Green Canyon Resort, it’s a new resort in Clark, Pampanga, the resort is a perfect place for outdoor adventure, swimming, nature tripping, mountain hiking, relaxation and a nice hideout away from the busy city and be close to nature. I heard of this resort when the Mazda PH teams invited us to join in a drive activity and car photography here in Pampanga, we stayed here in Green Canyon Resort for the photography seminar, driving activity and photo shoot.

We stayed first in the function room and then we used the entire mountain terrain and small river of the green canyon as our backdrop and location for the Mazda car photography. When I saw the entire area, I realized that the resort is selling the entire canyon as your playground. Astig!

You can go mountain hiking, jogging, biking, or ride the ATV inside the greenish canyon, for hard core adventure seekers, then can bring their own mountain bike and ride all the way up to the mountains, also they have a mountain hike expert who can also guide you going to the peak of the mountain.

Green Canyon Resort location is located below the canyon, although it’s just a small mountain, their entire complex is very wide and big. The most awesome part here is that the resort is private and no one can enter inside the canyon.

I don’t know the published rates of this resort, but I did some research in Agoda.com and I found these reasonable prices. The price is okay for the hotel, resort and plus the nature tripping. I want to go back here that’s why I posted the rates just to note myself.

Here’s the mountain that surrounds us, and below the canyon is the Green Canyon Resort.

Exploring the canyon

At the middle of the canyon, you can find small river that flows straight to the Sacobia river, the large river with lahar flow.

Take note that they do not allow food inside the resort.
I think snacks are ok, but not fast food take outs.

Café near the ravine. Its just a small ravine hahaha.
Ian and the PBNET gang stayed here during midnight for some beers and smoke.
I didn’t joined them because the massage and spa gave me a knockout and its cold outside during night time.

If you will try the staycation here, I suggest that you bring your own jacket or sweat shirt.

Green Canyon Resort have two big swimming pools, here’s the wide pool with spa fountain, lap pool and kids pool with 1.5 feet deep

Here’s the 2nd pool….the wave pool
yes…a wave pool!!!! the wave pool imitates the waves of the ocean, its 5 feet deep, but the waves goes up to 6 feet.

Here’s the lovely customers desk. All made from wood carvings.

The entire lobby displays lots of wooden craft and sculptures. Accdg to some articles online, Green Canyon Resort is considered as the 1st Eco Art Resort of our country.

Time for some outdoor adventure. You can borrow their mountain and regular bicycles anytime. Just park it properly and request for assistance if you need helmet for the bikes. You can also use your own bike if you brought it with you.

Here’s my biking action with Ted Claudio, we rode the bike from the hotel up to the swimming pool area

Main road of the resort is flat, no problems in pedaling on it. But if you want more extreme adventure, there’s a rough terrain downhill going below the canyon. Wear helmet for proper protection.

Time to dive in their Symphony Pool.

My view and watching Ted do some breast stroke.

Here’s our favorite… The wave pool!
The pool imitates the beach and also pulsates real waves.

Look at that wave!!! whoaaa… this is 5 feet… and above me is like 7 feet already.

Ted expects a wave wipe out after this photo shot hahahaha

weeeeee!! Its better to dip here with your floater.

There’s a hanging bridge for your photo op moments.
Take note: It’s a real hanging bridge. Be careful when you walk through.
tip: walk on one side to balance the bridge
