    From Philippine Eagle Center, I took a pedicab towards Malagos Garden Resort (fare: ₱30). Entrance to the resort is ₱495 and you are not allowed to bring in food/fruits (you may leave them at the reception area).

    The ₱495 includes a complementary snacks of tuna and chicken sandwich with banana chips. The food is really filling and their restaurant is really cozy.

    It was raining hard when I get there so I had no chance to visit the whole resort. The attractions closes at 5pm so better be early when you go there so you can enjoy the attractions. My suggestion is wake up at 6am and travel towards Philippine Eagle Center. From the center, go directly to Malagos Garden Resort and stay there until 5pm.

    After my visit, I headed towards the exit and took a pedicab towards Tolada in Calinan (fare is just ₱30). Then took a van (fare is approx ₱60) towards Roxas Night Market (just across Ateneo de Davao) where I had my dinner.

    One of the highlights of my trip to Davao City. Instead of taking a taxi or Grab, I decided to take a jeepney ride. Take a jeep to Calinan Transport Terminal and ride a van with label “CALINAN”. Travel time is approximately 1 hour. I asked the drover to drop me at Calinan Market and from there, I took a pedicab towards Philippine Eagle Center. My fare totaled to almost ₱300 instead of the ₱1,300++ if I took Grab.

    Take time to observe the birds and be respectful of the surroundings (no noise is allowed, no littering, no scaring the animals, etc.). Try to leave some tip as well as this will go to the management of the center. Don’t forget to bring some insect repellant. Mosquitoes are everywhere!

    The only thing that I didn’t like is the small enclosure of the majestic Philippine eagles. I wonder if they get depressed inside their very small and restrictive cages!

    After my visit, I went out to the highway and hailed a pedicab and headed nearby Malagos Garden Resort (fare is ₱30).

    From Malagos Resort, I went across the highway and took a pedicab towards Calinan. I asked the driver to drop me at “L300 or Taloda”. From there, just ride the van going to Roxas Night Market (just across Ateneo De Davao) for a sumptuous and cheap dinner.

    A good place to go for sightseeing, learn something in a tour, take photos, be active, go fishing and have lunch with a group.

    This falls is very refreshing, the water is clear and clean very cold. A lot of spots to chill in the water. There's a lot of cottages at affordable price. I highly appreciate this for summer escapade.

    This is a place for butterfly enthusiast. But I suggest that some improvements should be done to make the place more inviting.

    This is my first visit and I think Ill only comes back once the road going inside the resort is fix. Its a very rough road. I think because this area is a private lot before you can enter the main resort or its really underdeveloped? Anyhow, i enjoyed bird feeding and i supposed to swim in the pool but no space for me. Very small outdoor pool and the place is not that maintained. I wish they will improve it and renovate.

    A lot of history at this part of Davao; the beach and the park, as I read about it and headed towards it after reading visitor reviews. Of course these reviews were of 2011 and alot had changed since then. This place is in ruins. The ostriches look sad and the park is in a dilapidated condition. The water has had its way with the wall separating the park and the ocean. No rest rooms or benches.
    But like many visitors; regular and new, I must say that the view of the ocean is nevertheless relaxing, calm & alluring.

    When travelling to Mati, a visit to this spot is essential, as it could well be one of the finest coast views in Mindanao. My only criticism is the amount of litter we saw strewn around the place. It would be a good idea for the owner to provide some large rubbish bins, in the hope that they might be used by visitors.

    Talomo Beach welcomes everyone! The place is great for an afternoon swimming. Tourists will definitely enjoy visiting Talomo Beach which is not that far away from the city of Davao.

    When i travelled by car from Cagayan de Oro to Davao city trVersing via BUDA, i never failed to stop this Epol Falls. The view is so scenic. The coldness of the mountain breeze makes the place more exciting.
