Cebu: Skywalk Experience at Crown Regency Hotel

I am really afraid of heights. In fact, I once attempted to slide down a swimming pool but chickened out at the last minute. I was already there at the top but seeing as how high it was, I went back down again. So I don’t know what possessed in me to try the skywalk experience. An experience that would have me walking through the outer rim of the 37th floor of Crown Regency Hotel!

Before our group (cousins Jace & Arvi, Kuya Soc and I) started the Skywalk, we had to change into our orange jumpsuits first. Being petite, I was given a jumpsuit for children since the next size would be too large for me. My jumpsuit was really bodyfit and the length was a bit short. It was as short as Capri pants, hehe. :D I was glad that Arvi had extra socks with him so I did not have to buy socks anymore.

While we were changing into our jumpsuits, there were also two children with us. I found out that they were siblings vacationing from Tacloban. I was impressed that they were not accompanied by their parents in the skywalk. I felt ashamed that I was so nervous yet these two children, who were only 11 and 12 years old, were so brave.

Since the skywalk experience would be by group, the two children were not with us. We were only accompanied by two staffs: the guide and photographer. Aside from the no jewelry policy, we were also not allowed to bring our own cameras so the photographer would be the one to take our pictures.

Honestly, my heart was beating so fast when I stepped out into the skywalk area. I saw how the first few steps would have us walk on a curving outer rim with both edges exposing the area. I even cried because I was so scared! The guide had to lead me and walk with me for a bit.

See the curved outer rim? That’s why I was so scared to walk on it.

After the first set of group picture taking took place, I already managed to compose myself. Although I was walking quite slow, I was thankful that Kuya Soc was at my back to assist me. During the solo picture taking, we were asked to stand at the edge. I was still a bit afraid so notice that I was only standing near the middle, hehe.

Since we walked in a circle around the hotel, we had to walk past an area where visitors can view us through the glass windows. There was a funny moment where Arvi and I were waving at my mom and aunt and two Chinese women were the ones who waved back, hehe. :D Before the skywalk experience ended, there was another set of group photoshoot.

After the skywalk experience, we had the option to choose if we wanted to have our pics printed or have it burned in a cd. The cd was a better option since it would be more expensive to have every pic printed. For the cd, we paid 900+. It contained a total of 18 pictures, 2 solo pictures of each of us and 10 group pics.

Though I was scared, I was really happy to be given a chance to experience this. I knew that if I wouldn’t try, I would forever regret my decision. It was also cool to receive a certificate like this:
