Refreshed after a good night's sleep? Great, because today, it's all about embracing Davao's abundant natural beauty. Hop on a boat to the idyllic Samal Island. Spend the morning soaking up the sun and diving into clear turquoise waters, maybe you'll even see some tropical fish! Have lunch at one of the local beachside cafes to enjoy a seaview. In the afternoon, take a calming stroll through the Monfort Bat Sanctuary, the world's largest fruit bat colony. The day ends with a mesmerizing sunset on the beach, just like the movies, right?

Day 3 - Chasing Thrills in Davao

You didn't think we'd let you leave Davao without your heart racing, did you? Well, how about starting the day off with a hike to the peak of Mount Apo, Philippines' highest peak?
