Cagayan de Oro River Rafting
Cagayan de Oro River
The signature experience of the self-proclaimed “whitewater rafting capital of the Philippines.” Rafts run more than a dozen rapids as you pass through gorges and rainforest.
Rafting starts from the Mambuaya area, about 15 km south of the city center. Routes are divided into beginner, advanced, and extreme sections. The beginner route takes about 2–3 hours, with more than ten rapids, and suits first-timers. The advanced section is longer, with bigger waves. Trips are usually run by local licensed rafting companies. The fee is about PHP 1,000–2,000, including transfers, helmet, and life vest. Bookings must be made one day in advance. Follow the guide's commands closely, and keep valuables in waterproof bags.
