Laguna - River Rafting and Water Tubing Adventure in

Magdalena

The thought of a heart-pounding adventure and an awesome weekend with friends

made me decide to say "yes" to an invitation for a river rafting and water tubing

adventure in Magdalena, Laguna. Despite being tired coming from a 2-day trip in

Laoag, I woke up early and met up with my friends in Buendia where we rode a bus

bound for Sta. Cruz, Laguna. From there, we took a jeepney that brought us to the

town center of Magdalena.

Upon arriving, we were fetched by the rafting organizer, Tito Raf. He then brought us

to their office where we had a brief orientation on what to expect on the entire

duration of the adventure. After the orientation, he toured us around the town center

(I will make a separate post on this later)while his assistants prepare the gears we

will be using.

After everything has been set up, we took the hired jeepney to the jump-off for the

3-kilometerriver rafting at Balanac River.

We were so excited as we saw the rushing current of the river. This will be my 2nd

time to do this as I have done it before in Davao Citylast 2011; but I'm still so

excited to do it again. We fitted our gears - helmet and life vests and off we start

the river rafting! Woohoo!!!

We rode the raft, secured our feet into the strap on the raft's floor and started to

paddle as we go through the rapids. Paddle forward!!! Ahahaha!:)

It is indeed a heart pumping experience when you go through the rapids!Ahahaha!At

the same time you feel relieved when you survived without falling off from the raft.

Hahaha!

There's a part where our guides told us to get off the raft so we could have some

photos taken at the hanging bridge. Ganda ng view sa taas ng bridge!

We continued the adventure at Balanac river with more rapids waiting for us! We

were so excited to conquer them all as we paddle our raft closer to the rapids.

Until we reached the dam, where our raft glided through it. This is I guess, one of the

highlights of this whole adventure!Ang saya lang! Hahaha!

After the "slide", we got off the raft, swam and just had a relaxing swim. The water

flowing at the dam is so relaxing! We love it here!

It was already 11:00 AM when we decided to take a break and eat our packed lunch.

After which, we tried the water tubingin one of the rapids. It is not actually part of

the package, but Tito Raf let us try it. Yahoooo!

Again it was a very thrilling experience! Tito Raf sees to it that we are safe. He made

sure that we do it with one of his guides assisting us.

refreshing treat and a great way to escape the summer heat!Ang sarap!

everything. Next time ulit?! Hahaha!

Magdalena? Though it is not as t hrilling and adrenalin-pumping like t he ones in Davao

City, Cagayan de Oroor Kalinga, still, this is one awesome adventure that is worth

trying. It's best to do it during rainy days as the water level will surely be higher and

the water current is much stronger. I highly recommend this activity if you want to

try white water rafting soon.
