Is definitely one of the most exciting sports. Last year we had conquered the River of Cagayan de oro city bonding moments with all my cousin. The experienced of every rapids, scream, falling out from the raft, laugh, bullying other rafts and shout to the highest level was incredible. It was my first time though but definitely I want to do it again and again. Well, for those who are stacked in your home right now doing nothing but work and thinking about problems. I would highly recommend you to try river rafting. Bring with you your friends or family, one raft boat can accommodate good as 6-7 person. For the rates: In 14 rapids it will cost you about 600-700 pesos per person, in 21 rapids and more it's about 1,000 pesos and up each person plus additional 2,000 pesos payment each raft boat. It's quite expensive but totally you wouldn't regret I tell you it's worth it. OH by the way, in 14 rapids it will take you 3 hours, 21 rapids and up more than 6 hours. Awesome right! It's not only a river that you will about to see there. There are limestones at the right,forest at the left,a small cave and a whole lot more.
Enjoy your summer and don't missed river rafting!

I would like to visit the Philipines for some island hopping and snorkeling. I think that the white water rafting sounds ever so exciting but I have my two young kids with me on my travels. Wow! The rapids that you do describe sound ever so exciting indeed. The prices for the rafting are reasonable. When I was in my mid twenties I hired a canoe and went along a river in the Czech Republic. I loved going down some little rapids. I found that day very enjoyable and dightfully exciting.

I have tried the rapids of Cagayan de Oro but on a tube. hehehe... So you can't call it rafting. But it was as exciting as it is. hehehe... I also remember the boatman asked us to jump off a bridge to add some more fun in it. That was cool! I think it was a 30 foot jump that we made for us to get to the tubes...hahaha...

High five!!! You are so right! I was there last March, and our last activity was WWR at CDO (3 days backpacking trip - Camiguin, CDO, Bukidnon) and it was soooo fun!!! We took the 14 rapids because me and my other friends were first timers, and our others friend was saying we should have taken the 21 rapids instead! Still, it was an experience that will stay with me my entire lifetime! Awesommmme!!!

Definitely try it. At first I was afraid but then later on I felt the excitement and thrill while racking the raft. heheh. How can I forget falling out from the raft. I remember it was a huge rapid when me and my cousin just fall and unfortunately I hit my leg in a huge rock plus the impact equals bruises! Oh love it makes me wanna do it again!lol
Someday..... yah, someday I will.

oh yes, i'd love to go at Cagayan de Oro, malapit lng sa'min un. (translation:it's just near our city) and my mom would love to try wild water rafting. but we have a big problem, we dont know how to swim. haha the information in your discussion are very helpful. hope my mom and i can have swimming lessons somehow, so that we can proceed to rafting. :)
