White Water Rafting

My aunt and my cousin, who came from Manila, had their vacation here in CDO last week. During their stay, one of their itineraries was to go on water rafting. They asked me to go with them and I hesitantly agreed. I never experienced this kind of adventure before but then I thought why not try and join the fun? My 2 older brothers and Bogie, my sister-in-law, also joined to complete the group of 6. We got the 1-pm slot and we put on sunblock in our face , neck and arms but later realized that we don't really need it as the weather was perfect. It wasn't hot at all! And so the fun begun. I thought it was scary but with the proper gear and by listening intently to our guide, you can be assured of your safety. We passed by 14 rapids and the entire 3-hour ride was so exciting. Below, sharing to you some of our pics taken last Sunday.


My very BIG grin :D

Riding a jeepney to take us to the rafting area; oi, poise pa ang mga lolas, hehe

Jump to the max; shooting the rapids that made us all WET! (Ahoo-ahoo!!)

Do I really have to jump?!.... yeah, i did jump...

The water's kinda cold!; Just ended the 3-hr adventure with my 2 brods, Aunt, SIL & cousin

More pictures for you to see below:

    When you're in Cagayan de Oro, make sure you experience water rafting to complete your vacation. It's worth the fun!
