the Mt. Luho sign at the entrance with concrete steps that leads to the summit
signs also in Korean signifying presence of Koreans on Boracay IslandAn entrance fee of P50 is required for all visitors. The park also has a mini-zoo where you can find an eagle, bayawak (monitor lizard), several pythons, birds, alamid/musang (civet or wild cat) and a monkey who loves to look at himself on a mirror.

not the mighty Philippine eagle here but pitifully caged. should belong in the wild
a hard to photograph monkey afflicted with narcissim, spent much of his time looking at himself on a mirror he's holdingWhen Tutubi and his friends visited the place, they were the only locals. Most visitors were Koreans and Americans who came on board ATVs (all terrain vehicles).

How to get to Mt. Luho View Point:
Hard yet healthy way: trek from white beach, go to the main road towards Pacific Patio (formerly Pink Patio) and pass by bulabog beach access road, turn left at the end then just follow the road to the summit.
Usual way: rent a tricycle to take you there. Cost is around P150 to P250 per hour (depends on your negotiating skills. higher if you're a foreigner)
Great way: for the moneyed few, rent an ATV or bug car then drive on the dusty road up the mountains. ATV rental shops are available in near the entrance of Fairways & Bluewater Resort Golf & Country Club.
