Too tired to climb actually but when you reach the top there is no word to describe about the view Casino Peak is one of the hikes you should definitely put on your bucket list. In fact, put it straight to the top because it is by far my favorite hike on Cebu so far!

Going to area you will experience the beautiful scenery of Dalaguete. Mountain terrain and cold breeze amidst the scourging heat of the sun. Casino peak trekking is not that far but going up... climbing the mountain is challenging due to sharp rock formation. However, when you reach the top its so rewarding and breath taking. You can enjoy watching the so called Chocolate Hills of Cebu and the serenity of the sea.
My first destination should be Lovers Peak but because I am alone and I don't have someone with me i asked the driver name Rey which is a nice peak to see. So he said we go to Casino Peak and the weather is not so nice but still excited to.see how it looks like as if it same as Chocolate hills in Bohol so it makes me more excited. And there you go... i said Wow and wow Dalaguete is so much peak to wander... as usual my tripping moment i wore my bikini and do my Yoga stand. Fog and rain and worst is that it is so slippery i walk barefooted in the grass so it help me to go down.. and guess what i loved my adventure on this Peak...
We were on for some view of Chocolate Hills-like mounds however on our visit, it was raining heavily. But, not to be sad, we were welcomed by the amazing fog surrounding the whole area of this peak. The mounds were nowhere to be seen but the fog gave us a different mood setting the place. The hike was difficult, harsher than Osmena Peak as you have to climb on rocks to reach the highest part. We were sweating, drenching in the cool wind but at the same time, the fog embraced us with warmth. It was more than what we expected.
I cant describe with words how beautiful this place is!! And the best thing is that you're most likely to have the whole place to yourself since everyones going to Osmeña peak instead. Ive been to both and this place is better in my opinion! My advice is to go for sunrise or sunset :)
Amazing place
We stayed overnight here and experienced unexpected strong winds in mid April and a little downpour. We setup 2 tents for 4 and 1 tent almost got knocked out. If you ever plan for staying overnight and your guide offers to watch over, please don't decline coz we regret we did, it is after all for our safety. And if you will, just bring extra ropes and tent locks or better bring only one tent for 4 to 5 people since its peak is not really that suitable camping for a crowd.
Amazing view from the casino peak and a 10-20 minute hike depending on your fitness level. I think you should be a bit more advanced hiker and a bit fitter for this one, because there are almost no steps or any even path for hikers. Its all about following the path that is basically only visible by looking at the flat earth on the rocks (so you know people walked there). I did it with flip flops but I wouldn't recommend it and especially not hiking there when it's rainy or has rained. I imagine it being very slippery, which should be difficult and dangerous as it gets steeper. But once you reach the top you are rewarded with an amazing view. The surroundings reminded me of the chocolate hills in bohol.
