Cebu Safari & Adventure Park (2026): Tickets, Prices & Tips

TL;DR: Cebu Safari & Adventure Park in Carmen charges ₱900 (weekday) to ₱1,100 (weekend/holiday) for gate entrance (US$16–19), or roughly ₱1,124–1,210 (US$19–21) booking online through Klook. That covers the African Savanna tram tour, walk-through exhibits, and bird show only — rides like the zipline and ATV cost extra, or bundle them into the All Adventures Pass at around ₱2,499 (US$43). The park is open daily 8 AM–5 PM (last admission 1:30 PM), it’s a 1.5–2 hour drive north of Cebu City, and tickets are sold online only. Budget a half to full day. Verified July 2026.

Cebu Safari & Adventure Park sits on 170 hectares of hillside in Carmen, about 1.5–2 hours north of Cebu City, and it’s the closest thing the province has to an African safari experience — a tram ride through open savanna grazed by giraffes and zebras, walk-through gardens, a bird show, and a separate adventure zone with ziplines, ATVs, and swings bolted onto the hillside. If you’ve already read our overview of what the park actually is and what to expect, this guide is the practical half: what tickets cost, how to book them, how to get there, and whether it’s worth the drive and the day. It’s built for anyone planning an actual visit — families with kids, couples wanting a full day out of Cebu City, or first-timers deciding whether to add it to an itinerary alongside spots like Lake Danao Natural Park further north.

How Much Does It Actually Cost?

Expect to pay ₱900–1,100 at the gate for entrance alone, or a bit more if you book through Klook. The base admission — ₱900 on weekdays, ₱1,100 on weekends and holidays — gets you the African Savanna tram tour, the walk-through exhibits, and the scheduled bird show. That’s the whole park experience if you’re not interested in the adventure rides. Klook’s listed price runs slightly higher, around ₱1,124–1,210, because the online rate bundles in a convenience fee — factor that in rather than assuming the gate price is what you’ll pay if you book ahead.

Kids between 2 and 3 feet tall pay half the adult rate, and anyone shorter than 2 feet gets in free. Seniors and PWDs get 20% off the gate rate with valid ID — that discount typically applies to walk-up purchases rather than the online listing, so bring the ID either way.

Entrance Ticket vs. the All Adventures Pass — Which Do You Need?

If you only want to see the animals, the standard entrance ticket is enough. If you want to ride anything, do the math before you buy rides one at a time. The adventure zone — ATV trails, the 1.3-km zipline (one of the longest in the Philippines), sky bike, giant swing, and an obstacle course — sits apart from the wildlife park and isn’t included in gate admission. Each ride runs roughly ₱400–450 on its own, so two or three rides plus entrance adds up fast.

The All Adventures Pass, priced around ₱2,499 per person, bundles entrance with every ride into one ticket. It’s the better deal if your group plans to do more than a couple of activities, especially with kids who’ll want to try everything once they see it. If you’re only there for the animals and the view, skip it and save the money for lunch and the gift shop instead.

How Do You Book Tickets?

Buy your entrance ticket online — the park doesn’t sell walk-up tickets at the gate. Regular and child admission tickets go through Klook, which is also where you’ll find bundled options like round-trip transfers from Cebu City or Mactan. Ride add-ons and the All Adventures Pass are usually settled in person once you arrive, at the Welcome Pavilion or Base Camp counters — bring cash or a card for those.

Book a few days ahead if you’re visiting on a weekend or a Philippine holiday, since that’s when both admission and ride prices step up and crowds are heaviest.

What Are the Park Hours?

Cebu Safari is open every day, including holidays, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM — but last admission is 1:30 PM. Show up after that cutoff and you won’t get in even though the park is technically still running. Because the drive alone eats 1.5–2 hours each way, aim to leave Cebu City by mid-morning at the latest so you’re not racing the clock.

How Do You Get to Cebu Safari from Cebu City?

Most visitors either self-drive, book a private transfer, or take a bus-plus-habal-habal combo. Here’s how each option breaks down:

• Self-drive: Head north on the Cebu North Road toward Carmen. Watch for the signed turnoff at Carmen National High School, turn off the highway, and follow the road about 8 km uphill to the park. Google Maps and Waze both track the route accurately — just search “Cebu Safari and Adventure Park.” Plan for 1.5–2 hours from Cebu City depending on traffic.
• Public transport: Take a Carmen-bound bus from the Cebu North Bus Terminal and get off at Carmen’s town center. From there, a habal-habal (motorbike taxi) or van up to the park runs about ₱100 (US$1.70) per person and takes 20–40 minutes.
• Private transfer: Book a round-trip transfer through Klook if you’d rather not deal with buses or self-driving — some listings bundle the transfer with entrance tickets for a group, which can work out cheaper than booking separately if you’re traveling with three or four people.

If you’re combining Cebu Safari with other stops in the north, see our north Cebu travel guide for how it fits into a wider loop, and check getting around Cebu for general transport logistics.

How Long Should You Plan For?

Set aside at least 3 hours for the wildlife side alone, more if you’re adding rides. The tram tour through the African Savanna, the walk-through gardens, and the scheduled bird show take a solid half-day chunk on their own. Add the adventure zone and you’re realistically committing to most of a day once the drive is factored in — this isn’t a quick stop on the way to somewhere else, it’s the day’s main activity.

Try to catch the White Lion Safari section before noon; it tends to have shorter operating windows than the rest of the park, and the lions are more active earlier when it’s cooler.

What Should You Bring?

• No outside food or drinks — bring an empty tumbler to refill with water rather than buying bottled drinks throughout the day.
• Closed, sturdy shoes. The tram tour covers real distance and some walking sections are uphill and uncovered.
• Sun protection. Much of the savanna and adventure zone has little shade.
• Cash or a card for ride add-ons, the professional photo service (around ₱250/US$4.30 per photo), and the gift shop.
• No loose jewelry in the bird show areas — staff will ask you to remove anything dangling before you get close to the birds.

The Honest Take

Cebu Safari is genuinely one of the more polished attractions in the province — the Savanna tram tour and White Lion Safari don’t feel like a roadside zoo, and if you’ve never seen giraffes or zebras up close, it delivers. But be clear-eyed about the trade-off: it’s a half-to-full-day commitment once you count the 1.5–2 hour drive each way, ticket prices land above most other Cebu attractions once you add rides, and weekends get genuinely crowded, especially around the tram queue and the bird show.

If you’ve already done a safari park elsewhere, or your time and budget are tighter, it competes directly with cheaper, closer nature spots — Danasan Eco Adventure Park and Lake Danao Natural Park are both in the same general direction and cost a fraction of the entrance fee. Cebu Safari earns its spot on a first-timer’s or family itinerary; it’s more skippable if you’re short on days and chasing beaches or waterfalls instead.

Rounding Out Your Trip

Pair Cebu Safari with other stops heading the same direction north, or treat it as a standalone full-day trip from Cebu City.
