Day 1 - Exploring the Heart of Davao City
Start off your Davao journey with a bang! Say hello to the city's bustling life as you dive headfirst into Davao City's lively downtown area. Start your morning with a visit to the San Pedro Cathedral, the city's oldest church. Then, immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of the Philippines by visiting the Museo Dabawenyo. By this point, you've earned a hearty lunch, so head to one of the many local food stalls for a taste of the famous Durian Fruit. Your afternoon takes a wild turn with a visit to the Davao Crocodile Park. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? To conclude your first day, why not try Davao's nightlife scene? The city is filled with bars and nightclubs that absolutely buzz with energy!
Day 2 - Dive into Davao's Natural Wonders
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? After descending from the breathtaking heights of Mount Apo, it's time to have a low-key yet exciting afternoon with a visit to the Eden Nature Park. Explore the park, enjoy its serene beauty, and try some activities like horseback riding or fishing. To properly say farewell to Davao City, have a fancy dinner at one of the city's top restaurants. Try the local delicacy - grilled tuna panga while sipping on a deliciously tangy calamansi juice. So, ready to book your flight yet?
