White Water Action

White water rafting and kayaking are the newest action sports in the Philippines.

For decades, while adventure-hungry travelers flocked to the rivers of Nepal and Borneo, the superb rapids of the Philippines lay undiscovered.

But that's changing fast: white water action is now available on half a dozen rivers in the Visayas and Mindanao, and more are being explored.

There really is nothing quite like rafting down the Cagayan de Oro River.

The stretch from Baraga Dansolihon to the city provides you with a panoramic view of the river's rocky walls, untouched vegetation, and the sight of the resting haven of monkeys and snakes.

It has breathtaking rapids that provide the more adventurous with thrills and challenges of rapids interval not less than 10-15 minutes of each other.

Cagayan de Oro River has everything that makes for a memorable experience with awesome roar and power of water cascading over rocks and boulders.

Whitewater Rafting along the Cagayan de Oro river has gained popularity through the years after President Macapagal-Arroyo herself went whitewater rafting last 2003.
