Another way to enjoy your Chocolate Hills visit is by going to it by riding and ATV. You can see it closer by driving the ATV to an unpaved road with a little rough terrain, which makes it more exciting!

Safety gears are also given before riding, you will be accompanied by a staff riding a motorcycle. You can give your camera to the staff so he can take a video or photo of you.
Ready, set, ride!
We chose the 1-hour ride package since our tour guide said that the 8 Sister's Hill is great. After gearing up and testing the ATVs, you will head straight to the first destination which is 3 Sisters' Hill. The view along the way was nice, there were hills and small huts.

Unlike the ATV ride I tried in Boracay, this is more exciting and thrilling because of the unpaved roads. Your feet and legs might get a little dirt and mud along the way from the puddle on the unpaved road, but I got more than that.

It started to rain when we arrived in the Mini Rice Terraces so we didn't got the time to take photos of it. But the ride on the way back was just awesome because of the rain.
