Cagayan de Oro



8 things we did in Cagayan de Oro
November 20-26, 2009


  1. Checked in at Philtown Hotel
  2. Mapawa Nature Park
  3. Mapawa Zipline
  4. Great White River Tubing
  5. Great White Water Rafting
  6. Gaisano Mall
  7. Wall climb
  8. Checked in at Grand City Hotel from Camiguin







Trip Notes
  • Taxi from airport to city proper is around P100.  Lots of rip off taxi drivers.
  • River tubing and water rafting is operated by Great White Water Rafting.
  • Water rafting and River tubing cost P1000 per pax for each activity.  It's a half day activity with hotel pick up and drop off with buffet lunch.
  • They provide photographers, just give them your cameras to cover your experience so you don't have to pay expensive photos and video souvenirs in USBs, CDs or prints.  It will be recorded directly to your camera. 
  • Don't get confused with Cagayan, which is in Luzon.  Cagayan de Oro is in Mindanao.
  • We went also to Camiguin Island as our side trip.


The first leg of our three location vacation.  I'm with two other nomads, Herbert and Don, who both came home from work abroad.
