Davao Wildwater Adventure

One of the most thrilling experiences to try when you are in Davao is whitewater rafting. In whitewater rafting, you use an inflatable raft to navigate through the untamed course of a river or any body of water. Six to eight people can go through the course with the use of paddles. This sport can be experience by everyone, whether you are a sports buff or an adventure-seeking beginner. This activity not only brings you a new experience to share but also forms a new bond between family and friends.
