The most thrilling experience on Kabula river is possible from May to December, whereas the Davao River is equally good year-round. Other popular locations to practice this exciting water sport include Balanac River in Magdalena, where you can enjoy sliding down the slope of Balanac Dam, and Calbiga River in Samar famous for its impressive caves.
Generally, the prime whitewater rafting season in the Philippines is July to January, and the so-called "off-season" would be a great option for beginners.
