Madayaw Davao

It was Saturday when we had our ride going to Mati together with our other friends who have their own motorcycle and since I don't have one and I don't know how to drive I just sat at the back of my bf's motorcycle.

Going to Mati from Davao City will take you about 3 or more hours. We started heading out to Mati at 5:00 am so that we will reach there early since we will not be staying there overnight.

It was a long ride but it was all worth it and I was not bored on the way to Mati because there were many great views to enjoy and stop for a moment to take a photo. Below were the photos I took while we were on our way to Dahican Beach.

The famous stop over The Sleeping Dinosaur! I am not really sure why it is called like that, for me it looks like a turtle hehe

When we finally reached Dahican Beach I was mesmerized by the beauty of the sea. It was like a piece of paradise which can make my tired body filled with energy and excitement!

The beach is purely fine sand and clean. It feels great walking on the seashore. The waves are kinda big and it is good for skim boarding. You can actually rent for a skim board and don't worry if you don't know how to use it because there will be a trainer who will be guiding you.

Though we only spent in Dahican for about 5 hours it was an amazing experience that I will treasure forever. Dahican beach is really a wonderful place!

Last Nov 8, 2015, we had our team building at Banana Beach Resort which is located in Madaum, Tagum City Davao Del Norte. Banana Beach Resort has lots to offer and they have different kind of packages that might suit your need. We took the Team Building Day Tour Package since we went there for our team building.

The said package includes:

Resort Day Pass 2 Bottles of Water Per Guest

Buffet Lunch w/ 1 round of ice tea Team Building Facilitator

Morning and Afternoon Snacks Use of Resort Facilities

Choice of 5 Games

Few minutes after we arrived the facilitator divide us into 2 groups for our games. We really had fun with our games.

Unfortunately my team didn't win but it's okay I enjoyed the activity. After the game they served us our morning snack.

Pork Pan De Sal w/ Ice Tea

We were so excited to swim in the pool because the pool looks so amazing and clean. See for yourself.

When it was time for lunch we went to their restaurant. We were looking forward to it because it's buffet but to our dismay it was not what we were thinking of. The quantity of the food was I think good for less than 10 people and we were more than 15. The worst was we can only have 1 cup of rice per person. I can't call it buffet! The food taste good though.

After lunch the facilitator told us that we will be having our Forest Tour. I thought it would be boring and we should just spend our time swimming in the pool instead but to my surprise the Forest Tour was a great experience.

Getting ready for the Forest Tour

Part of their forest tour was the canopy walk. On our way to the canopy walk we saw lots of monkeys and wild pigs. The facilitator said they been in the forest for many years now. They are free and they don't feed those animals. They are self reliant.

Finally we arrived at the starting point for the canopy walk. The canopy was long and while walking to it you can enjoy watching different kinds of plants and trees.

We were able to walk on the ground after our canopy walk to see the plants and trees close up.

We had our knife throwing as well so sad I wasn't able to do it right even once.

She is the best on this thing

We rode again in the vehicle and they continued to tour us around. Below were the photos taken on our second part tour.

Horses

After our forest tour we spent our remaining time enjoying the beach and the pool.

Afternoon Snacks Suman and Mango

We had so much fun and this was our best team building so far. Banana Beach Resort can offer many activities for you to enjoy especially when you are with your friends, family and co-worker.
