White Water Rafting


White water rafting is one of the highlights of Cagayan de Oro’s tourism. Rafting at the Cagayan de Oro Rivers at Misamis Oriental, Philippines is indeed a pleasant experience to behold. With around 21 huge and strong rapids to go through that would surely turn around not only the rubber boat but also turn your spirits upside down, one would be enticed to engage in this one of a kind experience over and over again. Moreover, who would not be satisfied with a graduation jump either from a 15-foot high or a much higher bridge down to the water?! Try it! Photo credit: banggigay

Trusted Tours & Attractions

Vacation is one of everyone loves to travel. I travel a lot but only in the Philippines. I went several places from North to South. I also have a lot of experiences especially for booking. Instead you want to travel in this date but you can’t book a flight or hotel because it’s available. So I would suggest if you want to a good vacation then you should book your travel before hand. If it is peak season like summer then you have to book your vacation a month before.

I had an experienced vacation in San Francisco, California. There are a lot of things to do in San Francisco. I went on parasailing together with my friends. It was an awesome experienced. Some of my friends are afraid of heights. Well, I wasn’t scared at all. Parasailing isn’t meant to be thrill ride or anything. It is meant to let you enjoy the scenery and of course taking pictures. It was also a great experience because you will see views of the mountain and the see, views are so breathtaking. It was totally worth it. The one who provided for our parasailing are all licensed professionals, so it’s safe because they know what they are doing.
