Who says you can’t do sports while raining? Some water activities can still be doable and the rain can even put a thrill on it! Try Whitewater rafting in Tibiao River, Chico River, or in Davao River and tag along your friends with you! It’s actually the best activity to do if you want an extreme one because when it rains, it’s more challenging unlike when it’s summer where the water becomes un-“raft”able. However, in cases of typhoons, it’s advisable not to push through especially when local government units have warned tourists already.
Have you ever been excited to go out this rainy season? Just keep safe and enjoy!
