      Hello Girls,

      I’m a constant reader of your site…very informative =) How much is the estimated cost in your DAvao trip and where did you stay?

      @Armi
      Hi Armi,

      Bale roughly 12K yung ginastos namin, kasama na yung hotel, at air fare. Ang nagpamahal nung tour namin is yung wild water rafting. :) Pero ang pocket money namin is 6000php, kasama na dyan yung hotel and pasalubong.
      You can check our itinerary para sa ibang detail. :)

      With regards sa hotel, dun na kami sa Davao naghanap. Mura lang yung nakuha namin, hinahanap pa namin yung name, hehe. Will update this post pag naidentify na namin yung hotel.

      Salamat sa palaging pagbisita :)

      Hi Mariz,

      Siguro maganda within the city lang ang puntahan nyo like Jack’s ridge, crocodile park, etc. that is within Davao City lang.

      Yung paradise resort, meron silang day tour, hanggang 5pm. 200 pesos yung rate nung nagpunta kami. :)

      Hope that helps ;)

      Hi,

      I always look at your sites prior to my travels and this time, I am planning to go to Davao sometime in October. I saw that there are lots of attractions to go to in Davao in this page alone. Are you able to visit *all* those in just a 4 day 3 night trip? I heard the attractions are not that near from each other…
      thanks!

    • mike says:
