Reserving a room at a hotel in Davao is among the default moves taken by travelers who want to see the best of Southern Philippines because of all the adventure opportunities the city holds. Here, people can explore bustling urban spaces as well as its lush nature spots, which altogether promise a holiday to never forget. Are you on your way to this metropolis known as the Crown Jewel of Mindanao? Then make sure to not miss these fun, interesting activities we have on our list.
Hanging on a zip-line
If you're looking for some of the longest zip-lines in the country, then you're headed to just the right place. A great example is Talomo district's Outland Adventure zip-line, where you can hang for a distance of 720 m. If looking for something shorter yet equally exciting, then head to Barangay Langub's Zip City, where you are bound to enjoy a 360-degree vista of the city.
Strolling through a historic tunnel
Take yourself on a journey back in time by driving down Diversion Road, one of the city's main thoroughfares. Here, you will find a well-preserved tunnel that is capable of connecting anyone to the Japanese occupation era, among the most notable points in Philippine history. It was constructed by Filipino prisoners during WWII under the command of the Japanese Imperial Army. To ensure safety during your tour in this prime attraction, be sure to wear closed shoes, because some areas in the tunnel tend to have wet floors.
Rolling in a Zorb Ball
A lot has been said about zorbing or globe-riding, and it's now your turn to have a first-hand experience of this fun leisure activity. A zorb is 2-section, human-sized hamster ball that is made of durable plastic. In it, you will experience among the strongest adrenaline rushes you'll ever have in your life as you literally roll downhill for a specific distance, depending on the area covered by the facility you're visiting. In Davao Zorb Park, for example, your world will go spinning for a good 100 m. If staying at an accommodation in Davao like Microtel by Wyndham - Davao, then simply take a short drive to Riverfront Corporate City along Diversion Road to reach the attraction's location.
Rafting in Davao River
How does “getting soaked in adventure” sound to you? If you think you're up for the challenge, then you must certainly try rafting on the 160-km Davao River. Here you will survive at least 30 rapids of varied levels of difficulty as you take on a 3 1/2 hour rafting escapade with the Davao Wild River crew.
Plunging into the Davao Gulf
In the city, novice divers, PADI-certified diving enthusiasts, and those somewhere in between are all welcome to witness the beauty that lies underneath the Davao Gulf. Swim with all kinds of sea creatures that call the city's waters home, including sea turtles, pelagic fishes, and sharks. You will also be enthralled by the vast coral garden as well as by a number of remarkable historic wrecks. Among the dive teams that you can contact are Carabao Dive Center and Wind and Wave Davao. For more ease, you may ask the staff at your hotel in Davao to contact them for you.
