After reading my LuzViMin journey. An enjoyable 3-day all-alone Davao tour is my next destination.
When I was young, I dream of travelling the 3 large islands in the Philippines -- Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao). But never in my entire life that I could possibly made, thinking that I'm thankful that force majeure happened. But wait there's more, this is officially my first solo adventure. Without any drafted itinerary I'll be heading to Davao - the largest city in the Philippines and a city in Mindanao which is trice as large as Manila. And take note, I survived the ALL ALONE . Thank God, I'm carrying my laptop :)
Below is the 3-day itinerary as well as the expenses I had for this trip, and some tips that will make the trip worthwhile :-)
Day 1
Davao City Tour
From the moment I get off to the plane, I suddenly stopped and put myself into realization. I couldn't imagine that I'm exploring a large city like Davao. Transportation is needed to go around
Tips:
- Hire/negotiate a taxi, around Php 1300 for the whole day and it will go to 4 places or
- Go to Davao Bus terminal, there were lots of motorcycle 'habal-habal' offering a tour
PLACES TO SEE
- Eden Nature Park (Php 255 - tour around the park plus free snack)
There's also 250m zipline here (Php 150)
- Philippine Eagle (P55)
- Go Nanay Bebengs if you want a buffet lunch (P250)
- Davao Museum
- Crocodile farm (P150)
- Zorb Park (zoo ball + water ball) (P300)
- Japanese Tunnel - (P50)
- Jack's Ridge - overlooking Davao with bars that tourist can hangout
- Tourist - another place to hangout
Day 2 - DIGOS, Davao Del Sur
Longest Zip line (820m ) and other nature activities
Need to allot 1 day when planning to visit this place. I followed the below directions in order to get here
> Go to Davao Bus Terminal
> Ride a bus going to Digos Bus Terminal (P70)
> From Digos Bus Terminal - ride a tricycle going to Kapatagan (P10)
> From Kapatagan, ride a Van to Camp Sabros (P80)
> When you get off to the van, either walk or ride a motorcycle going to the camp
After visiting the longest zipline, take a sidetrip to:
- Peoples Park
- San Pedro Cathedral
- Davao City Hall
Day 3, SAMAL ISLAND
- From Davao airport, ride a taxi going to Ferry Terminal (SASA Wharf) these are the ferries going to Samal Island.
- When you get off to feries, there were lots of motorcycle 'habal habal' you can hire them to tour around Samal (around P300-400, make sure to haggle). You may also ask the driver to go to Pearl Farm.
Samal Island Day Tour
- Bat cave (P30)
- White house
- Hagimit Falls (P40) + P5 environmental fee
- Maxima Resort (P250 entrance fee), the Canopy Walk (Php 50) is a must try in this place
