Cagayan River White Water Rafting

Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental, Northern Mindanao

One of the Philippines' top river adventures, the Cagayan de Oro River drops through 13 kilometers of rapids in a gorge of volcanic rock and dense riverside jungle. The river runs year-round — tamest in summer, ferocious after rain — and a thriving industry of outfitters runs safety-briefed trips for first-timers through Class IV seekers. The take-out deposits you almost in the city center, still dripping and grinning.
