"You have never really been to Cagayan de Oro until you try White Water Rafting!" I have heard and read about this phrase countless times, so when I got the chance to visit Cagayan De Oro, the first thing on my mind is to try and experience their famous White Water Rafting Adventure.After spending the night at the City Center, we traveled by jeep for about an hour to Barangay Cabula to meet our guides, Kagay Group, and to get our rafting gears and boat. Then we headed to Barangay Mambuaya (just a few minutes ride) where we have brief orientation of things to do and things to expect.
Since we are all beginners, we have unanimously chosen the Mambuaya to Kabula Adventure which is a three hour ride consisting of fourteen rapids. Here are some shots I have taken before the actual ride:
Hmmm. My friend took this shot of me just before the ride. I look funny because: (a) The prospect of falling in the raft scares the **** out of me. (b) My new set of teeth-braces affects my smile. (c) I look like a comic-warrior out of Takeshi's Castle. (d) I wanna pee but since I have lots of gears in the way, better do it in the river lol. (e) all of the above.The actual river ride shots, as taken by our guide, on my next posts.
41 took the journey:
I've tried water rafting in CDO too. We were so scared because there was a heavy rainfall that time and rain water was rushing from the mountains. We felt like we were paddling through a flashflood. The scariest part was when our boat capsized right into one of the rapids and everyone fell into the water. The guides panicked. Haha.
I really recommend this to everybody. Super adrenalin rush!
Totoo yung phrase na ""You have never really been to Cagayan de Oro until you try White Water Rafting!" I only tried rafting sa CDO on my 3rd visit kse parang something is missing sa trip ko.
I have a confession to make, jumingle din ako sa river kse di narin ako makaihi na nakasuot all those gears, hehehe :)
Ay, I love to do that as well. Gusto ko rin ng experience na iyan!
wah. kaya pala lumalim daw ang tubig noong nandoon ka. hehehe.
Hahaha. Lol at @ (c). Para ka ngang hapon at contestant sa Takeshi's Castle attorney. I will wait for more pics here. Ingat po.
hi oman, tried that a lot of times pag nasa CDO ako. must try din and river wild ng davao. :)
so that's why something is new about you... hehehe:D i didn't know what, but it's ur braces pala... wahahah:D
ayos talaga yung mga ganitong posts. you get to see beyond the usual photos of white water rafting.
kakathrill tuloy yung next post.
natamaan ako sa sinabi ni carlo. hindi mo daw masasabi na nakapunta ka ng cagayan kung hindi ka nakapag white water rafting. hahaha.... pumunta kasi ao doon kaya lang kulang yung time kaya hindi nga kami nakapagwhite water rafting.
Wow! That would be a scary ride
uhm.. e ba ang sagot? all of the above? ^^ kakatakot pag nahulog ako sa tubig dito ah! wahaha!
No way I will go in one of these rafts. I hope you have lots of fun in them.
that's something i've yet to try...someday maybe
We actually travelled to CDO to do white water rafting. Funny thing, I have yet to try Davao City's white water rafting too which just right in my city. But yes, the CDO's white water rafting was such a rush. Will check your succeeding posts. By the way, have you gone to Nature Park too and Makahambus? Those are awesome adventure places too:)
parang ayaw ko nyan... di ako marunong lumangoy tapos feeling ko nakakamatay yan... hahaha!
You're cracking me up! LoL!
Hope the ride was safe & you all made it out in one piece!!!
That must have been such an experience. I like reason c---you look like a comic warrior :)
Rafting que xulo, tengo que provarlo algun dia debe ser divertidísimo. Buena serie.
Un abrazo
Este desporto fascina-me, mas ao mesmo tempo apavora-me!
Nunca o fiz e não sei se terei coragem de o fazer...
Belissimas imagens!
Nice photos. The experience must be very awesome. I wish I can try it too!
Hahahaha...that looks like an adrenaline filled adventure...

Nice water rafting at CDO...
Hindi ko pa natatry iyan! Enjoy!
Habang nagsusulat ako dito, malamang natapos mo na ang course mo dyan sa rafting. So kamusta ang feeling? Share naman dyan.. :)
Naalala ko nga ang mga hapon sa Takeshi's castle. lol
Did you also tried zip line?
Ansaya mag rafting noh? kaso minsan boring pag mahina yung current :D
Cool bro! I have yet to try rafting. I'm sure grabe ang adrenalin rush...
Oh No! I didn't try it when I went to Cagayan de Oro!! I should go back there :D
Thanks for sharing! Seemed you had a blast!!

i soooo love whitewater rafting at cdo! i wont mind doing it over and over again...btw, did you try the canopy walk? i missed it! will try to do it next time.=)
I admire your courage to white water raft...I am afraid I don't have the fortitude to do it! looks like you were all set and ready to go, though.
ayus yan parekoy! daming din ganyan dito sa nz, ayaw ko nga lang gawin dahil masyadong malamig ang tubig dito.
ui umabot ka na pala sa cdo.. punta ka iligan! the city of waterfalls!
yeyyy, i'll be in cdo in 2 weeks, and i'm excited! looking forward to your next post.

LS: Loved the bus photo best, it was so colorful.
Thank you for commenting on my Blog. Was appreciated very much.
I've been in your Country, but a long time ago while in the Navy. Visited Manila & Olongapoe City. Wish I could have seen more. I remember those "jeepnees". They always were so colorful.
Stay well & Nice to meet you
Les
