River Rapid Classification: CDO and Davao River

Cagayan de Oro

There really is nothing quite like rafting trip on Cagayan de Oro River. The stretch from Barangay Dansolihon to the city provides you with strikingly beautiful panoramic view of the river rocky walls, untouched vegetation and the sight of the resting haven of monkeys. It has breathtaking rapids that provides the more adventurous with thrills and challenges of rapids intervals 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.

The wilderness section of the Cagayan de Oro River has lots of Class IV rapids, but the overall classification is Class III and III+, indicating that a rafter with strong Class III skills would find the challenges within his/her abilities.

When to go.

Rafting season here is all year round with June to December serving as the peak season.

Davao

Davao River ranks number seven among the largest river basins in the Philippines , Cagayan Valley River Basin being at the zenith on the list. This is the largest of the city's nine principal watersheds. The River is the main natural reservoir of the aquifer in the city's jurisdiction.

The River has a total length of 143 kilometers, stretching creeping through a good number of streams. The main source of which may be traced to as far as Bukidnon. The headwater in Bukidnon is of largely timberland or moss forest. The larger part being found in Davao City. Its width varies approximately from 60 to 90 meters. . Suawan River and Tamugan River are its main tributaries, the waters of which flow with that of the waters of the streams to which the river passes through. It flows southward, meandering along the central part of the City and empties eastward towards the Davao Gulf.

The Davao River is rated Class 3+ (two class 4 rapids). The minimum age requirement is 6 years old.

oh...bisayadakoo, pls do educate me about rapid classification...mukhang as you said, I'm clueless, and in that sense, pati na din yung mga professionals who classified Cdo River as class 3/3+ and Davao River as class 3+. I hope you can shed light to all of our clueless minds.
cheers!!!

Nabasa ko rin sa CDO page ng Wikipedia that CDO will soon have an Ayala Center. Wala namang ganon nakasulat sa Davao page even if Ayala Center Davao is actually under construction.

Go send a message to Wikipedia about your concern and not here, same thing you did about the concerns of the lawyers in a convention held in Davao.

Nah! No need. That would be a waste of my time. Everybody knows that Wiki is not reliable anyway. So, no sweat, really.

Kinsa man daw motira nimo nga wala ma'y makiglalis kung insakto ang info, there's no issue as long as datas are accurate and not pamotbot. That's also what I had in mind about Limketkai regarding the size, while Davao is said hold the record as having the largest Gaisano Mall branch in the country, but only for the company. Unless of course someone proves with accurate info that the case regarding these malls prove otherwise. Dili habit namo makiglalis kung accurate info, unless you need to be reminded that as far as Davao forumers are concerned conflicts occur when the other side stir up false or malicious information and agendas. Don't worry, if we doubt we do research rather than waste arguing without basis.

Your standards are hypocritical, why the heck would you be so double faced in liking a place but underrate the people behind it when it is the people themselves that made it distinctively that way, and if it were for its natural wonders then the people themselves have preserved, protected and kept it clean whenever possible. Frankly if you do not like its people, then the city is neither meant for your liking. Naa man pud limitations mga tao diri but kung mangintriga na lang ka balik ka sa lugar nimo mukonsente ra man ka hugaw nga mga dalan or botboton or mga kriminal ug snatcher gakalata kay kung diri sooner or later naa gyud mosita o katapat ana nila.

Sinahon siguro ka mamantay la'g sayop sa mga taga Davao as your little brain can't comprehend the cosmopolitan complexity of society here because it is a melting pot of very diverse cultures ranging from Cebuano, Manilenyo, Ilokano, Ilonggo, Negrense, Waray, Moslem, Indigenous (with the most number of tribes in the country), Japanese descendants, ug uban pa. Siguro nagdinamak ka gapataka labay basura maong gisita sa taga Dabaw. Or nagbinuloy siguro ka maong insecure kay mga tao diri open minded in speaking various language whether Tagalog or Visayan that your regionalistic mindset just can't relate with. The pathetic thing that people like you can do masuya ka na lang sa insecurity ug mamantay sayop sa mga tao diri kay dili ka kaako tanaw sayop nga makita sa sarili nimong samin.

Kung prangka ka mas prangka diri. Gibuhat na sa mga taga Dabaw throughout history against insurgency, mga kriminal, terrorists, paghugaw-hugaw, pagpamotbot. Sa imo pa kaya. Mao siguro nang wala ka kauyon sa taga Dabaw kay mas naa prinsipyo mga tao diri kay siguro wala ka.

Of course we don't force you to like us, duh, that's the least people here would rather do I believe. But don't be two faced, if you don't like the people here and what they stand for, perhaps the city and the place may not be meant for you. Prangkahanay lang.

During the summer rafts cannot run anymore because the water is too low.

Compare that rapids to the CDO rapids below.
And there are more sections that gives you more adrenaline rush.

YouTube - Whitewater Rafting In Cagayan de Oro

You can run rafts at CDO rapids "All Year Round".
More videos here;

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.


cheers,
Bisaya Dako
i don't get excited w/ multiple ripples.i cannot see the rush there compare w/ this ...


YouTube - river disorder

Davao White Water Rafting is an all year activity , it's more exciting when rainy season comes !The best rafting in the Philippines! one of the best! no sugarcoating!
