1st Rafting Adventure Philippines: Offering the Best White Water Rafting Adventure

2011-06-02T18:14:00.000-07:00

Cagayan de Oro City — what was only previously known as The City of Golden Friendship now holds the title White Water Rafting Capital of the Philippines. Although the sport had only started gaining popularity during the last five years or so, it was back in mid-1970s when Kagay-anons first discovered the thrills of white water rafting. Cagayan de Oro is conveniently located amidst a network of mighty rivers flowing from the highlands of Bukidnon and other neighboring provinces in Misamis Oriental. The city boasts of some of the country’s best white water rafting rivers. The strong rapids of the rivers are very ideal for this adventure water sport, a fact that 1st Rafting Adventure didn’t fail to promote.

A lot of local and national media and well-known sports enthusiasts have already featured white water rafting Cagayan de Oro in sports-oriented television shoes, magazines and newspapers. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo even tried out the sport herself—and absolutely loved it.

Local and foreign tourists have already enjoyed the excitement, fun, and the one-of-a-kind nature adventure that one can only get with white water rafting. CdO has not been called the City of Golden Friendship for nothing too. The celebrated friendliness and hospitality of the Kagay-anons are evident in the high degree attentiveness and expert guidance of their very friendly, funny and entertaining rafting guides.

Speaking of their adventure guides, these guys are all well-trained under the guidance of the International Rafting Federation (IRF) and well-versed about white water rafting Safety and Standards rules. Annual trainings on CPR and first-aid are conducted for them by the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC).

1st Rafting Adventure offers guided tours on a Beginners’ Course, two Advance Courses and an Expert Course.

Whitewater Rafting In Cagayan de Oro (PHILIPPINES)

2010-09-03T18:17:00.000-07:00

Whitewater Rafting in the Philippines originally started as a “hobby” by a group of outdoor sports enthusiasts organized by the Cagayan de Oro Whitewater Rafting Adventure (CDOWRRA) sometime in the month of June year 1995 led by Mr. Rupert M. Domingo and his group with the goal of introducing whitewater rafting sport in the country. However, the group has been involved in river expeditions and explorations; it took 10 years for Mr. Domingo and his partner Julius Bioco to transform their passion into a thriving business serving local and foreign clients. From 1985 to 1995, they surveyed the river by sections, making repeated crossing on inflated tire tubes or crude floats made of banana trunks. Painstakingly, they identified the different channels and stretches of the river. Studying the characteristics and honing their skills in paddling the wild rapids of Cagayan de Oro River to perfection.
Cagayan de Oro Whitewater Rafting Cagayan de Oro City is home to some of the most scenic and exhilarating whitewater rafting and dubbed as the “adventure capital” in the Philippines.

Rafting Adventure Philippines (RAP) formerly the Cagayan de Oro Whitewater rafting Adventure (CDOWWRA), the PIONEER and most respected Cagayan de Oro river rafting outfitter, has been providing top quality river rafting trips since 1995. A whitewater rafting trip combined with any of the area’s many outdoor activities; provide the basis for a fun and memorable vacation. On our river rafting trips, you will meet other people who enjoy being outdoors along the spectacular Cagayan de Oro River, bask in the splendor of the lust vegetation scenery, pause for a moment while cruising the calm waters and embrace Mother Nature, and have time to mingle with the friendliest river guides to enjoy a Cagayan de Oro river rafting adventure.

It is the gateway of the northern Mindanao. This Philippine city resembled something close to a picturesque, rural town just a few years back. In recent days though, Cagayan de Oro – or CDO, as most of the other Pinoys are wont to call it – has experienced a rather startling makeover, pushing the bar between a rural-urban hybrids, where downtown certainly looks the part while the suburbs are the most secluded gated subdivisions one could ever try trekking to.

The heart of the city harnesses a serene welcome of suburban people. A simple jeep ride is enough to demonstrate this fact. From the downtown divider Divisoria, a jeep en route to the airport takes you up Carmen Hill, a sprawling mini-mountain with impressive scenery and natural formations such as the Historic Macahambus Cave and Macahambus Adventure Park in the barangay of Lumbia. Nearby is the Ateneo de Cagayan college of Agriculture, which can give you a view of expansive tracts of land geared towards the development of agri-tech expertise in the country.

Apparently, there are few things that the City is famous for…“City of Golden Friendship”
It’s been said that the Kagay-anons are one of the nicest folks in the Philippines, and that’s not just a myth. Nor is it an exaggeration, since the people here can be friendly to a fault.

It’s actually one of the more colorful ground zero for the many cultures in the Philippines (you will see Christians, Catholics, Muslims, foreigners and various mestizos in and around the city in equal concentrations).

There’s also the peace and order situation in the Despite its close proximity to the more notoriously turbulent areas of the Philippines, Cagayan de Oro maintains a relatively tension-free environment where one can usually safely walk the streets, taho vendors sing in the streets, and almost everybody closes up shop after ten or eleven in the evening, with a few exceptions.

And the city itself is as heartwarmingly cozy as the people, teeming with people-friendly parks and shopping centers. Gaston Park, right beside the Saint Augustine Cathedral in downtown CDO, is one of such parks, where anybody can just sit back and relax up to the wee hours of the morning (although that isn’t really encouraged). If you’re out to do a little bit of shopping, the various malls throughout the city are readily available to cater to your needs.

Adventure Sports

More than the famous Oro Ham, More than the sunshiny friendly people, Cagayan de Oro’s become renowned throughout the country as the premiere whitewater rafting destination in the Philippines. Although whitewater rafting outfitters have been running the Cagayan river circuit since the 1990s, the tourism picked up after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo gave the rapids a go in 2002.

The river boasts of a twenty-three rapid count ranging from levels I to IV, the ceiling of most manageable whitewater rapids. River tours run throughout the year given good enough weather conditions, and vary in difficulty in the wet and dry seasons.

But rafting vacations aren’t the only things CDO has to offer. Several other spots, like the Macahambus Gorge and Adventure Park, give thrill-seekers a chance to test the limits of their nerves. The sky bridge alone is enough to give agoraphobic people panic attack. The park offers rapelling services, and guests can also explore the Macahambus cave, or for that ultimate adrenaline rush, ride the Zip Line – a hanging slide of more than a hundred feet of high-tension cables strung up a hundred and fifty feet from the bottom of the Macahambus ravine.

Testimonials:

“I had a great time; it’s pleasant and exciting to visit Mindanao…
I want to show the whole world that Mindanao and other areas of the Philippines is peaceful and beautiful. “

- President of the Republic Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

“I had a enormous and terrific time in teaching the Filipinos,
They’re easy and fast learners and a very warm people and fun to be with.”
- Mark Joffe of Rapid Pulse (IRF Certified River guide trainer)

What is Whitewater rafting?

2009-09-21T02:33:00.000-07:00

Whitewater Rafting is a recreational activity utilizing a raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water. This is usually done on whitewater or different degrees of rough water, in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers. The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid-1970s.

In the last 30 years, whitewater rafting has gained massive popularity. People tend to go in groups for a family gathering, a reunion of friends, and even for corporate teambuilding. Whitewater rafting is great fun and an undisputed adrenaline rush.

At its core, whitewater rafting is simply the act of taking a raft down through the turbulent areas of a river. These turbulent areas are known as rapids. Rapids are formed by three factors – constriction, gradient and obstruction. Water naturally flows downhill because of gravity. When it is constricted, it pushes in from the sides and speeds up. Speed also increases when the gradient gets steeper, and obstructions makes the water swirl around as the flow tries to find the best way to follow gravity. Each of these events causes rapids and the resulting turbulence churns the water, resulting in “white water.” The goal of whitewater rafting is to surf these rapids without being flipped or dragged under.

Whitewater rapids are classified into six categories. Class 1 is a smooth river with hardly any rapids. The categories climb from there to Class 6, which is either impossible or should only be attempted by seasoned experts. Most whitewater rafting trips occur on Class 3 and 4 rapids, where the turbulence gives you an exciting ride, but with limited risks.

Whitewater rafts are typically big and sturdy. They hold between six to eight people spread out equally on each side of the raft. Although an expert guide controls the steering at the back, most rafting companies give their passengers the job of paddling on each side of the raft in their corresponding spots.

Whitewater rafting has a certain risk factor, and safety is of the greatest importance. All rafters truly need to wear helmets and life jackets. Falling out of the raft can be a common occurrence, depending on the river conditions. Thus, all rafters should be able to swim.

There are thousands of rivers that are perfect for whitewater rafting trips. Most people choose a rafting company for their trip, since the company is already familiar with the river and its conditions, and they have the necessary equipment.
What is whitewater rafting? It’s something you should try!

White Water Rafting in Cagayan de Oro (PHILIPPINES)

2009-09-17T15:00:00.000-07:00

White Water Rafting is an amusement activity where people can sail on the river. This is commonly done on different degrees of rough waters at which point one can experience the thrill, excitement and challenges of rapids.

In mid 80's and mid 90's by using inflated interior tire tubes, raft made of bamboo and banana trunks, this activity became the habit of some Cagayanon's and finally, some people had developed this adventure through the efforts of White Water Rafting in Cagayan de Oro and has become the most popular adventure activity throughout the country.

Cagayan de Oro White Water Rafting allows group of people to view good scenery of the river in different directions.

Whitewater Rafting in Tamugan, Davao City

2009-09-16T23:51:00.000-07:00

Whitewater Rafting in Tamugan, Davao City was one of the best experienced we’ve had when we visited the city last week. It’s really awesome!

The 3-hour run starts from the highlands of Baguio District, then down to Calinan, and then the lowlands. All in all there’s about 30 rapids of varying degrees of difficulty. There’s also additional activities for the more adventurous, like cliffside rappelling. Me and Malen would like to thank Reynaelena.com for the all expense paid trip to Davao City and Lukaret.com for the wonderful accommodation!

Cagayan de Oro, the whitewater rafting capital of the Philippines by Examiner Michelle Lyles

2009-09-16T12:29:00.000-07:00

Whitewater rafting on the Cagayan de Oro River

Cool clean water, fresh mountain air… rafting in Cagayan de Oro on a scenic whitewater raft trip is a genuine Mindanao adventure at its best! Also known as the “City of Golden Friendship,” it has also become famous as the “Whitewater Rafting Capital” of the Philippines.

Our tour picked us up at Plaza Divisoria and we took a 40 minute ride out to the jump-off point, where we geared up with life vests, helmets, and sunscreen, then reviewed some basic paddling skills. We were provided a dry bag to protect our cell phones and anything else that needed to stay out of the water. For the next three hours we experienced everything from calm and relaxing waters to washing machine-like thrills, and had a chance when we were in deep waters to jump in and free float down the river.

Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and is looking for some thrill will be delighted by whitewater rafting in the Cagayan de Oro River. The river itself flows northward from the headwaters in the Kalatungan Mountain Range, in the central region of the province of Bukidnon, towards Cagayan de Oro City where it empties into the Macajalar Bay. It has twenty-three rapids ranging from Class I to Class IV so people of all ages and athletic abilities, with no previous experience, can ride the river, challenge the rapids, and enjoy the rural sights along the banks of the river. You’ll see rocky mountain walls, lush vegetation, and caves that were used by the Filipino soldiers during World War II. You might even spot a monkey!
