White river rafting in Cagayan de Oro

Share this article

I went to an Igorot-Talaandig wedding in Bukidnon and I thought of going to Cagayan de Oro to try their popular white river rafting. They say you’ve never truly been to CDO if you haven’t experienced the rafting in Cagayan River so I gave it a go.

I was picked up by Kagay’s service jeepney (the agency where I booked my tour), together with other groups who booked that day. I chose the 3-hour run, well, just because.

Stunts!

The guides gave everyone an orientation, safety measures as well as the do’s and dont’s, before we all settled in our individual rafts. I was lucky to be included in a group of 4 because there weren’t too many participants that day. And then the adventure began!
