The guests also were given a chance to ride “Agila the EKsperience,” the first flying theatre in the Philippines, which takes one on a thrilling journey across the Philippines’ majestic mountains, breathtaking beaches and incredible islands, right in the comfort of one’s own seat. Enchanted Kingdom continues to take pride in the beauty of the Philippines -its destinations, products and people and this collaboration with DTI is just one of many testaments to this.
