Whitewater rafting starting point - Cagayan de Oro City

whitewater rafting CDO trip

Here’s where we started our white water rafting course. It consists of 14 rapids ranging from class 1 to 3. The higher the class is the more exciting it becomes. The highest class here is Class 6. We took the basic course which is good enough for chickens, I mean starters like me. =) The advance course has a lot more to offer. It will take you to 24 rapids ranging from class 1 to 6. Hmm… very exciting don’t you think.

Rapid class 2

This is a sample of white water rafting rapid class 2. I’m the big guy in front besides the guy wearing a blue helmet. The water here is really cold: just enough to seize the heat from the scorching sun (really refreshing). Honestly, I was looking forward for our boat to capsize but it didn’t happen. Listening to the guide’s instruction surely kept our journey safe but exciting.

Finish line

It took us 2 hours to finish the crazy CDO river basic course. It was one hell of an experience but I regret that we should have taken the advance course... I love thrills and as they say it, "you really can't tell when will you go back here at CDO... so try the advance course. It's a one time big time deal you shouldn't miss."
