If you are in the area you should stop. They do this fire show that will blow your mind and is worth the trip.If you like exotic stuff they also have food you might like' There are also gift shops right across the street if you want to get something to remember your trip. This place is free with your admission to the croc park, just save your ticket stubs.

Beware! when you plan to light a candle in the right corner of the church. if an old woman approached you and put a pin with a cross and image of christ in your clothes,., "dont ever accept it!!" she will ask you to pay for 20 pesos forcefully! I believe that christ and other catholic matter should not be used to earn money!!! "budol budol!" beware

The place where they breed and take phil. Eagles which are endangered to refuge. It is far from the city proper which is a good place so that it is quiet. You could see them face-front and near. They are really amazing raptors. There are other animals that are also kept in this place such as owls and other domesticated possible and endangered species. A self walk tour is already sufficient to learn from this place. If you get the chance to drop by here. Please follow their rules and buy their stuff to support this foundation.

This is one of the most unique travel experiences in Davao! There is an excellent chocolate museum which includes the opportunity to make your own chocolates! There is an area where love birds will land on your head - we had lunch in the restaurant which was excellent. This is definitely a "must see" if you are going to Davao!
