Reason#20 White Water Rafting
Looks like brown water rafting, but still fun! - photo by Rina Alcantara
Nice to know:
White water rafting along Cagayan River is the main tourist attraction of Cagayan de Oro.
Why it’s in the list:
Some people fly from Manila to Cagayan de Oro in the morning, schedule for a pick-up by the rafting operators, splash around on the river for a few hours, grab something to eat, then fly back to Manila. A very efficient adventure trip is what it is.
If you’re the adventurous type, I would recommend the “advanced” course because the basic course doesn’t offer too many opportunities to flip the raft. “Why would anyone want to flip the raft?” you might ask. It’s loads of fun, I tell you.
The experience is worth the time and money, truly one of the best outdoor adventure.
