Cagayan de Oro is known as the City of Golden Friendship because of the warm hospitality that the people of CDO display. But there is more to Cagayan de Oro than just friendly locals. You haven’t truly experienced the city unless you have tried its favourite extreme sport: White water river rafting.

If the sound of extreme sports scares you, don’t fret! The rafting operators are well-equipped with knowledge and safety protocols that ensure a fun and risk-free rafting experience. From the foothills, your rafting team travels uphill to the starting point, and the excitement begins! The journey might start calmly, but you’re about to get ready for the most thrilling ride of your life.

Situated on top of the mountains, the view of the Cagayan de Oro river, lush trees, and beautiful nature is postcardesque. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some playful monkeys basking under the sun. Then it starts. You go down the rapids. The waters become alive. ‘Paddle faster,’ someone yells. You’re on a roller coaster of nature. And before you realise it, you’ll be greeted by smiles and cheers for accomplishing the feat. But who said you should only go once?

Whether you are in Cagayan de Oro for business or pleasure, be sure to take a detour to white water rafting. Because cutting water is more fun with your friends and colleagues. And to stick with the water theme, the city offers a fantastic selection of seafood to feast upon. When it’s time to hit the sack, the cloud-like beds of Red Planet Cagayan de Oro are guaranteed to recharge your internal batteries.
