Riding the rapids!

by maple_air

Aha!, what better way to get one's adrenaline pumpin' than a wild trip down the mighty Davao River. It was one sunny October morning when we went to give it a shot. It has been raining for the past few nights, so more or less we were assured of a higher level /class and treacherous waters that day. Plus not to mention it is still rainy season at this time of the year. All I could say is, it's a once in a lifetime experience. The whole adventure, 13 km. stretch of the Davao River, from lower Tamugan to Lacson, 25 rapids from class 1-3, lasts for 3-4 hours, depending on the difficulty of the water, not to mention time spent on capsizing!, getting our raft stuck in big boulders of rock, and as per personal experience, getting separated from our raft,away from my team mates, and being carried by the current through rapids, smashed into rocks and drinking tankful of mucky, dirty river...

Kayaking in Davao

by indiagrrrl

Went for a great kayaking trip in Davao. Really easy to organize (get in touch with Sonny or Nitta through the 4Play climbing gym) and perfect for those who are not beginners but haven't had lots of kayaking experience.
