I just got back from Davao. To give back to this forum, I'll post my itinerary and experiences. Group of 7 kami, july 27-29. 2 separate flights, MNL-DVO yung 1 cebu pacific 4AM then yung 1 zestair 4AM din.
Day 1
540AM arrival, check out pa so 6AM na kami nakalabas. ang van na hire ko ay yung kay Mang Joey, nakuha ko lang din yung contact online. dumating sya ng 640AM!!! super duper late! sira agad ang 1st day namin. (But this is another long story, I'll make a separate post for this.)
Tapos breakfast, check in sa Green Windows. we got the 8pax/room for 1054 pesos only. I'll recommend this for budget travellers at sa hindi maarte. Malaki yung room at ok naman ang cr. Tapos off to Crocodile park for meeting point sa Wildwater rafting. We paid 2K for this inclusive of guide, packed lunch, CD of pictures, souvenir shirt, ticket to zipcity, croc park, butterfly garden, tribu k'mindanawan. sulit naman sya pero super sakit sa katawan. haha! nakabalik kami sa croc park 430PM na. then walking distance to tribu k'mindanawan. hindi kami interested sa butterfly park so hindi na pinuntahan. gusto sana namin ang zipcity kaya lang closed na.
Taxi to people's park then dinner at BBQ Boss then back to Green Windows.
Day 2
Woke up early then 730AM off to Davao Marina Wharf. Registered for Pearl Farm. I booked this through Agoda. we paid barely 2100/pax for 3 rooms. I found this sooo sulit. 1850 kung day tour 9AM-4PM tapos kung Green Windows 215/night so yung total halos pareho lang e di sa Pearl Farm na kami overnight! We took the 8AM ferry boat.
9AM arrival sa Pearl Farm. I signed the waiver para makalabas for our Samal tour. I rented Mang Jeremel's multicab for 2500 (bat cave, Hagimit falls, maxima). Ok naman si Mang Jeremel, medyo tahimik lang. Bat cave pwede pala magrent ng boat to vanishing island for 800 pesos. Ang ganda nung vanishing island from afar, para syang sand bar. Pero hindi na kami nagrent kasi kulang na sa oras. Tapos lunch sa isang resto (I forgot the name) Then Hagimit Falls, I find this boring. Tapos Maxima (200/pax, 150 if student). Hindi namin nasulit kasi twice lang kami nagslide then back to Pearl Farm. Ok sana 'to kung at least half day kayo. Almost 3PM na kami nakabalik sa PF. Tapos nagpahatid sa Malipano Island na sakop din ng PF. Tapos swimming sa infinity pool then dinner. hindi kami nagbuffet ang mahal kasi at konti lang naman kami kumain so hindi namin masusulit.
Day 3
Breakfast is included sa overnight namin. 6AM nag buffet breakfast na kami. Dapat 630 un pero nagrequest kami ng early breakfast to catch the 645AM ferry back to Wharf. By 8AM nasa wharf na kami. Start of city tour. Nagtext si Mang Joey na si Tito daw ang driver namin dahil mag service din sya sa iba tour. Punta kami sa Davao Museum pero closed pa so hindi na kami naghintay. Aldevinco's for pasalubong, lunch at Penong's, Jack's ridge, Zip City, Victoria Mall. 530 Davao Airport na.
Total expenses ko is around 8500
