Extreme white water rafting ~ Davao Wild Water Adventure

White Water Rafting is one of the popular eco-tourism and outdoor extreme adventures in Davao City. The grand Davao River offers an ideal spot to experience this new and extreme sport in the country. The 4-hour wild water rafting starts from Barrio Tamugan in Calinan district, and then ends at Lacson.

The water course features almost 30 rapids of varying degrees of difficulty in the 15-kilometer-run of rough water of Davao River. The rafting experience is divided into varied stages to ensure everyone gets the maximum fun, thrill, and excited. 

The several mighty rapids of twists, bends, washing machine-like motions and turns along the river makes it more challenging and exciting to wild water rafting enthusiasts and for the extreme sports seekers.

Aside from the thrill of the rapids, one can also observe on the lush greenery of trees that undergrew along the river banks.There are many sightings along the river trail, wildlife, hanging bridges,falls, monkeys,hawks and the famous “Balinsasayaw” bird. 

However, after 2 hours in the river, we paused for a lunch break for 30 minutes along the flat surface river bank. The location is cool andnit emits a feeling of having a picnic by the beach because the area is sandy.

The next 2 hours of rafting is experiencing more extreme rapids than that of  the start, thus tine to shout out your fear, and keep your paddles up.

Anyone who plans to explore Davao should never miss this white wild water rafting adventure that offers fun, excitement, adrenaline rush. A great value for money even it’s expensive
After all, the extreme adventure in Grand Davao River is really fun.
