Boulders and rocks, landslides on the river banks, awesome sceneries, water rapids, brown wild river, paddles and rafts are all you need to enjoy the White water rafting in Cagayan de Oro river. It’s my second time carrying out an adventure like this and this time, I see to it that I am taking a crack at the most adventurous part… the advance course where water rapids are on its hardest approach (as what they say).
Anyway, together with Elva, Lawrence, Eldie, and another 3 from Manila and Jomar – a tourism student of Liceo de Cagayan University joined us on this course of adventure. Starting at the boundary of Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro City, we give it a try to face the rapids of the freshly ruined river by the flash flood 2 weeks ago. On the first few rapids it is exhilarating because on our raft, 3 of them are first timer and I am the second timer excluding the 3 guides on the raft. Their facial expressions were uncertainties about what is it there to offer when we pass through those inviting yet scary water rapids… but later on after surpassing those rapids, they gained confidence and courage that they really can do it and that is where we all started to shout and cheers on every rapids we pass through. A high five using our paddles is a sign that the rapids we just crossed is a success.
For about a couple of years passed since I tried my last water rafting, you can still see the awesome scenery of the caves, the abrupt rocky walls beside the river, the green vegetation, the gorges and the resting haven of monkeys and snakes and those small waterfalls and cathedral like rock formations along the river walls are just awesome great to gaze at…
After that 17 kilometres more or less path of the river rafting course we had, we headed promptly to the Macahambus Adventure Park where we tried walking at the more or less a hundred meters high sky bridge/hanging bridge, and zipping down on the cablelines on the Zipline. It was a splendid experience and definitely an exciting one… So, what are you waiting for? Come and experience the adventure of the Kagay-anon’s way.
