This Beginner-Friendly White Water Rafting Spot Is Only a 3-Hour Drive from Manila

If you're searching for an unforgettable white water rafting experience near the metro that will get your heart racing, we have just the spot for you! A river in Magdalena, Laguna, is the perfect location for rafting down the waters. And the best part? It's only a three-hour drive from Manila!

Before you start the water rafting journey, the organizers will provide a comprehensive orientation to ensure your safety throughout the excursion. Once you have completed the briefing, you'll be set to embark on the exhilarating seven-kilometer river rafting experience, which typically takes about two hours to complete.

You have nothing to worry about as the difficulty level of river rafting is Grade 3, perfect for beginners, families, and even kids. To ensure your safety and comfort, you'll be accompanied by not one but two experienced river guides who will stay with you throughout your white river rafting journey.

As you romp down the river, you’ll encounter several picturesque scenes, including lush green landscapes, various bird species, horses and cows, women washing clothes in the river, baboons running across the water, hanging bridges, massive rocks, and rough water currents.

As you continue rafting down the river, you will hit the Magdalena River Dam, where your raft will smoothly glide. However, the excitement does not end there! After reaching the dam, you can enjoy cliff diving, water tubing, and swimming.
