This is my third time here, second for my gf, and first for the rest of the idle drivers.
Our group, composed of seven mixed breed, chose the adventure and action-packed tours over the other serene beach packages offered by our tour provider.
The hotel is an hour away from the airport and 20 minutes from the foot of Mount Kapatagan.
We were picked up at 1200H after our early lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Our first stop: Base Camp (for gear fitting).
After an hour on the road, we arrived at the rafting site. This part of Davao River has the best rapids for rafting.
The whole rafting experience lasted for two hours.
The rapids range from flat to level 4.
It was a life threatening experience, but was fun!
After two hours of rafting fun, we had our snacks at a riverfront hut, went back to base camp for the photos and DVD, and was dropped off at our hotel at around 5 in the afternoon.
After an hour of rest, we had dinner at Penong's.
Lights off: 2200H
Day two started early. We had breakfast at 6 in the morning and was picked up at 7.
Next stop: Camp Sabros
Travel time to the camp is 2 hours by van and 15 minutes uphill by a 4X4 open vehicle.
The uphill climb was another action packed adventure as the road tilts to up 45 degrees.
When we reached the top, everyone was amazed by the majestic view.
Our first zip ride was a 380 m tandem ride, followed by an 820 m solo ride.
This was so far the best zip ride ever that I have experienced.
Next ride was a cable lift to the other side of the hill and the last ride was a 400m downhill zip. No photos or videos can illustrate the amount of adrenaline rush felt for every zip ride. They have their own reasons for being the best zip rides ever.
After all the rush, we some side trips at the city. We went to Japanese tunnel, Jack's Ridge, Crocodile Park and went pasalubong shopping.
We had some more stopovers for pasalubong shipping near Ateneo de Davao before we were dropped off at our hotel.
Lights off: 2200H
Day Three: Anything goes. We had our last minute church visit. After breakfast at the hotel, we also had some series of photo shoots and chill moments.
This is definitely one of the most action-packed trips that we've had.
Budget: 10k per pax (excluding pasalubong).

Until our next trip, idle drivers! :)
