The Department of Tourism in Davao Region (DOT-11) officially launched the Davao Adventure Challenge (DAC) Season 2 here on Tuesday.
In her speech, DOT-11 regional director Tanya Rabat-Tan said the event offers new sites, challenges, and ways to explore Davao.
“This season is all about pushing limits and sharing moments that everyone can join in on. From trails to waters, climbs to flights, it’s an adventure for everyone,” she said.
DAC Season 2 is a year-long showcase of Davao Region’s thrilling and diverse adventure experiences.
From Sept. 1, 2025 to Aug. 31, 2026, tourists, visitors, and locals can explore adventure sites-from mountains and caves to rivers, islands, and coastal wonders.
Each visit and challenge completed earns points toward exclusive rewards and recognition.
“What started as a bold vision became a vibrant reality in 2024, and now, in 2025, we are prepared again to leave an indelible mark – transforming hidden gems into must-visit destinations and turning simple vacations into lifelong experiences,” Tan said.
In its second season, she said they embarked on new escapades that promise more breathtaking views, adrenaline-pumping moments, and thrilling adventures.
“We take immense pride in this initiative. This program has not only tested our challengers’ endurance but also sparked positive change in our communities and sites,” Tan said.
As a top adventure destination, Davao Region boasts a unique blend of natural wonders, from the majestic Mt. Apo to the stunning seascapes of Davao Gulf, making it an ideal base for outdoor adventure tourism in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. (PNA)
