Cagayan de Oro White Water Rafting via Kagay Rafting Group

Cagayan De Oro, also know as the “City of Golden Friendship;” has become famous for its whitewater rafting adventure. A serious yet fun experience.

During our 4-day Camiguin-CDO-Bukidnon trip, we have decided to take this adventure on our last day of Mindanao visit for the reason that we are staying in city proper for the last two days of the trip and our flight back to Manila will be in CDO (the Cagayan River is near airport).

White Water Rafting in CDO is really a must try experience when visiting Mindanao.

Whitewater rafting fee via  Kagay Whitewater Rafting Group
Php1k/ person for an advanced white water rafting experience with 21 rapids
Php700/person for beginners on a 14 rapids adventure
Php450 for a CD copy of all photos and videos taken during the white water rafting adventure

Each rapid is named after something fun that happened in the area. Our captain has a lot of stories to tell. He's one of the councilors in one of the baranggays (I presume)


Since we wanted to maximize the adventure, we tried the advanced whitewater rafting with 21 rapids and it was definitely a good choice even for beginners like us. More rapids, more stories to tell, more fun, more sunburn. They will also allow you to swim in safer still waters during the trip.




Based from my research, there are three rafting groups in Cagayan as of publishing:

-Kagay (they sponsored the whitewater rafting adventure in the movie, Forever and a Day starring KC Concepcion and Sam Milby, I haven't seen this movie!)
-Rafting Adventure Philippines
-The Red Rafts

Our contacts suggested the Kagay White Water Rafting Group.

Kagay White Water Rafting is located in Corrales ave. fronting Bombo Radyo 9000 Cagayan de Oro, Philippines

You will need to contact them for an arrangement if you will have to be picked up from a hotel/inn and other concerns. They accept credit card payments, too! Their crew are really cool, fun comedians. 

You may visit their website for contact information:

Though my suit has suffice for the trip, I highly suggest that you wear long sleeves, preferably rash guard, and yes, long bottoms, shoes or sandals with straps, and never forget to put on sunblock
(do not put sunblock on your forehead!)
