[majicminded]

Thanks papa oink! 3K for 4days for davao and samal tour?

a couple of weeks ago, my wife and my mom went to davo and rented a taxi. for P3k no time limit and he pays for the gas/lpg converted.

he isn't impatient and he even suggests location which may not be in your itinerary but along the way.

our iti went something like this:
day 1
* kublai's place - resident artist
* lon wa temple
* st. paul cathedral
* davao musueum
* times beach - statue of david
* apo ni lola store to buy durian candies
* philippine eagle center
* japanese tunnel
* jack's rigde - food not so great
* farmer's market - tried tasting durian and durian pie

day2
* aldevinco to shop
* along the way stopped buy to buy mangosteen
* eden nature park and resort
* butterfly farm
* crocodile park
* ate dinner at ah fat resto

day3
* people's park
* samal island - overnight
* monfort cave - bats
* hagimit falls
* island hopping at talicud island - separate payment

day4
* golden sunset pomelo buying
* airport

i would really suggest to hire/contract a van or taxi. just pm me if you want me to give you the driver's contact number.

hope this helps

@majicminded...i apologize for not making it clear...it was P3k per day. on day 4, because we felt that our trip to davao was made more enjoyable because of his suggestions, travel stories, etc..we decided to give him P3k even if we did not spend the whole day

[majicminded]

Thank you for clarification papa oink! Kindly pm me the contact number if in case we need the service. TIA!

Hi.

Any suggestions for a 4-day vacay sa Davao? Binubuo pa lang namin ng friend ko ang itinerary namin. I am reading some of the posts. So far, heto po yung draft. Sana, anybody can help us.

Day 1. 7:15am ETA, 12 noon check in at the hotel.

Can we go to Eden Nature park then Crocodile park afterwards? May nabasa ako na malapit lang din ang Jack Ridge's so pwede na rin bang isama dito?

Day 2. Balak namin mag tubing, zip line then we'll go to Phil. Eagle center at nabasa ko rin malapit lang ang Malagos Garden Resort, okay ba yun?

Day 3. Samal Island and lahat ng malapit dun na puntahan.

Day 4. Any suggestions on where can we go? Ang departure time namin ay 10:00pm pa naman.

Thanks.

Day 1: Yes, you can go directly to Eden, siguro hire na lang kayo ng cab para convenient then proceed to Crocodile Park before 3pm para discounted pa. Anong araw ba yung Day 1 niyo? Mas maganda kung weekends kayo mag Crocodile Park kasi may mga shows pagkatapos, punta din kayo sa Tribu K'Mindanawan for fire show, before 7pm matatapos na yan. Proceed na kayo sa Jack's Ridge for dinner.

Day 2: Water tubing or water rafting? Yup, malapit lang ang Philippine Eagle at Malagos Garden Resort.

Day 3: You can go to Paradise Island or Bluejaz Resort

Day 4: You can have a quick city tour then buy pasalubongs later.

kung yung Vjandep pastel yung tinutukoy mo, hindi kasi ideal for pasalubong kasi konti na remaining expiry dates niya since galing pa ang mga eto sa Camiguin, kung baga for local consumption lang... ehehe... try to stay longer the next time you visit para malibot mo lahat...

[dawn_it_be_me]

We'll be my first time In Davao on November.

Davao-South Cotabato-Surigao! Woot!

I actually stayed for 5 days dun, mag-isa, bigla kasing nagback-out kasama ko a day before nung flight namin..hindi ko nilibot lahat ng attractions dun, para next time na babalik ako, I would still have something to look forward to

mga hindi ko pinunntahan:
samal island
pearl farm
phil eagle center
river rafting
magsaysay park

I'll be there next year, sa kadayawan festival naman nila

July 24 yung day 1 namin, weekdays. So I guess, mamiss namin ang mga shows ng weekend.

Water tubing, mukhang hindi kasing extreme ng water rafting. Meron kaya nun kahit dalawa lang kami ng friend ko?

Thank you!

[CHIN66AY]

hi guys pupunta kami ng friends ko sa Davao next week. We'll be staying at ROYALE HOUSE in CM Recto near the cityhall and San Pedro church. Yun pinili namin kasi malapit sa lahat.

Ask ko lang if anybody here going on the same date as ours (JULY 18-21) kasi we'll rent a private boat so we can go island hopping. It's EXPLORE DAVAO's boat yung my bean bags, ipod dock and speakers. We'd like to share expenses sana.

and we're looking for people din who want to go white water rafting kasi kailangan makabuo ng group para matuloy. i think we need 3 more people para sumali.

please PM me. or reply here. Thanks!

I am open for suggestions patulong naman oh

Day 1: Medyo hectic ang sked niyo dito kasi ma layo2 rin ang Monfort Bat Cave, I suggest next time na lang niyo eto puntahan para masulit niyo ang Hagimit Falls and Maxima considering na 3hours time alloted lang. Pero if you really want to see the bat colony, unahin niyo na lang eto tapos tig one hour na lang for Monfort, Hagimit and Maxima.

Day 2: Next time na rin siguro yung Philippine Eagle Center, medyo malayo rin kasi sa city proper. You can do a city tour, then Crocodile Park and watch fire dance show at Tribu K'Mindanawan, then proceed na lang kayo sa Jack's Ridge for dinner. If you have enough time, you can dropped by na lang sa People's Park, 10pm yung closing time nila.

Day 3: Ok lang yung sked niyo for this day.
