Crocodile Park

Giant crocodiles, big snakes, and colorful butteflies. These are among the many featured animals in this wonderful tourist destination in Davao City. The Davao Crocodile Park has world-class facilities and recreation areas that kids, as well as at kids at heart, will definitely enjoy.

Eden Nature Park

Another place to visit for those who love to commune with nature to unwind from work and the busy city life. The Eden Nature Park is a perfect place if you want to engage in nature activities with your friends and family. It is also a producer of organically grown fruits and vegetables.

Philippine Eagle Foundation

Considered as an endangered species, the Philippine Eagle has found its home in Davao. The Philippine Eagle National Center is a santuary of the world's largest eagle. It nutures these birds and conducts continous research and advocacy programs to preserve this mighty king of the skies. As a matter of fact, it has already successfully bred eagles in captivity.
Located in Malagos, Calinan District, this little tropical paradise welcomes visitors to its place and witness its wondrous surroundings. Visit this place and feel what it's like to be close in Nature only here in Davao.

Pearl Farm Island Resort

Located in a secluded Samal Island off the coast of Davao City, The Pearl Farm Island Resort is the best place to relax and unwind. It is about 45 minutes by boat from Davao City. Aptly called the Pearl Farm, this world-class private resort was once a place where white, pink and gold pearls are cultured from a special breed of oysters coming from the Sulu Island.

Baguio, Philippines

Of course, our Summer Capital always comes to mind this season. As if the blissfully cool weather and the lovely pines aren’t enough reason to visit, Baguio also boasts of the famous recreational and historical sites, such as Burnham Park (where you can rowboat on a lake) and The Mansion (which is the official summer residence of the President). Don’t forget to grab some strawberry jam before you leave!

Cebu, Philippines

This island is full of sites that tell fascinating stories of our history. From the shrine of the Magellan’s Cross, to the statue of Lapu-Lapu, to the Sto. NiƱo Basilica, and even to the Taoist Temple, history lessons come to life here. But don’t be fooled: Cebu is a modern metropolis of interesting architecture and energetic people.  Also check out its famous products, including the beautifully-crafted guitars and tasty dried mangoes.

Camiguin, Philippines

This little province off the coast of Northern Mindanao is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. Stop by historical sites like the Sunken Cemetery (with its breathtaking sunsets), or detour into the various waterfalls. Bathe in the natural hot, cold, or soda springs, or at the serene beaches. Or go island-hopping into the White Sandbar or the starfish-laden Mantigue Island. To top that off, taste the delectable pastel — Camiguin’s pride and a sure treat!
