Eden Nature Park and Resort

A perfect Team Building Place:

A Company organization's essential building block is the individual or its personnel. Every company’s organization relies upon the unique and exclusive skill, ability sets and talents each individual can offer to there company. Nevertheless, there is a need to straight and direct these person efforts in a single direction in order to bring harmonious success to the organization. By taking initiative on making and forming a team building to give a breath on your beloved employees. Team building always occur at the middle of the year because some of the employees are stress out due to middle year quota or sales goal.

There are so many places for a team building in the Philippines especially in Davao. If you are looking for nature loving team building you can go to Eden nature Park and Resort. Last June 2012 we had a 3 days 2 night team building exposure and that makes are trust to each other mold. Eden Nature park is a perfect place bon fire and share what each other’s activity and thoughts. We do the obstacle course and mountain trial after doing the muddy trial we go to their swimming pool and refresh our self for a night of party. We stayed at pine Logged and gardenia Cottage. The place is really fully natures the birds, peacock and the running water from the river gives your stress away and have fun.

Take a look on Eden Nature Park and Resort.

Second best place for team building is the beach. We all know that the best place to be relaxed and enjoy is the beach. So book the Isla Reta Beach Resort at Talicud island Samal Davao City. Isla reta have a long beach shoreline and it is a perfect place for games. There service is one really cool. One thing that makes this beach good for team building because it is semi private beach resort in talicud Island. And Reaching talicud island you must ride a isla reta pump boat for only Php 60.00 and second is you can hire a private pump boat just what we did when we had a summer beach team building.

Third, if you are just looking around the city you can go to an outdoor team building. Davao Zipline Outland Adventure is one of a wonderful place to pump your adrenaline rush.

Rates and Hours of Operation:

Rate per zip ride is Php 500.00 per person, and a 50% Outland Adventure is open from Mondays through Saturdays at 8AM to 5AM, and on Sundays from 1PM to 5PM.

Team building activities can be conducted with the help of a facilitating group or self-facilitated through a mutual consensus of the team. So whatever place you want to conduct your team building the point is you must gain the Attitude, you can motivate your personnel and learn to be successful in every endeavor of your life or in the office.

A day tour to KOPIAT ISLAND: Perfect Island getaway

Kopiat Island a perfect place for adventure, these 87 hectares of land that full of coconut trees and wild fruit trees is really perfect for a day tour travel in an island. Kopiat Island is undeveloped island in Compostella Valley Province so there is no establishment or any building in this island. But seating in white small rocky coral sand is really cool feeling and grilling your raw food is what all we want in an adventure trip.

How to get to Kopiat Island.

If you come from Davao City you can ride a bus in Ecoland overland Transport terminal look for Metro Shuttle bus going to pantukan or Tagum City, second choose is Bachelor Bus Line ride a Mati City Route and drop to Mabini Comval Province.

What to expect in Kopiat Island

If you want to explore the island You can see a small kopiat island lagoon in the middle of Kopiat island. Tour around kopiat island is really cool because you can see different kind of mangroves, some parts of kopiat island is really virgin forest.

The place is also peaceful and serene because there is just a view people visit kopiat island due to less tourism promotion and also Kopiat Island is a private Island.

As of this moment visiting Kopiat Island is really cheap but the owner of this island is planning to develop the place and soon this place will be one of the best tourist island spot in the Philippines. So don’t waste your time and visit kopiat island and experience the beauty of nature.

Kopiat Island Comval Province

Waniban Island is known as an island that is surrounded by blue crisp water that is ideal for swimming, scuba and skin diving.You can explore it in less than 1 to 2 hours on foot.

How to go to Waniban Island

Waniban Island is a 4 hectares in Barangay Tamisan, approximately 25 kilometers from Mati City, and is only a 30 to 40 minute boat ride from Mati City Wharf or if you stay in Cinco Masao Beach Resort it will just be 15 to 20 minutes pump boat . Wanniban Island is owned by the Linsag Family.

What to Expect in Waniban Island

The place is very natural there are no people leaves in the island. No Electricity, No Beach Resort, there is only one cottage that visitors can stay also NO Entrance fee. The view of this island is really refreshing in the eyes and brain. So bring everything you want to, the foods and the drinks. Safe wise you better leave the island before 4pm because the waves will not be the same it become bigger.

If you are watching the survivor series then you can relate to this very native island.

My Own experience in Waniban Island

We stay at the cinco masao beach resort one of the cheap best resort in Mati City Davao Oriental. At Night we ask to book a pump boat that will bring us to Waniban Island because from where we stay we can see an Island that we can’t deny to explore. As an outdoor enthusiast we love to explore new things and my best dream is to see and conquer all 7,107 island of the Philippines.

So after booking a pump boat at night we are sure at the morning we will be at Waniban Island. At 8 AM we ride an pumpboat and reach to waniban island at 8:30 then starting exploring the island it just took me 2 hours to walk around the entire island. I was a fulfilling thing to explore the beauty of waniban. After roaming around we cook our lunch and swim into the water of waniban. Then go back to masao to pack and get back to the real world.

A stressful work at the office really makes your tummy hungry. Hungry as a wolf, together with my partner, we went to “The Peak” where we can choose which food to eat. The PEAK of Gaisano Mall is a Food Haven at the top of Gaisano Mall in Bajada, Davao City.

But before reaching The Peak, my partner already has a restaurant in mind –Zabadani Café. She was craving for something Mediterranean so we really ended up dining in this fine resto.

The peaceful ambience in Zabadani is one of the things that keeps me coming back. The dining experience in Zabadani is made more special because of the delicious food that they offer served by their waiters who know what quality service is all about.

Pita Sagheer was our first plate of food. It looks like just an ordinary pita serve but when I ate it, (wwwooowwwwww) the rich taste of mixed spices made Zabadani’s Pita distinctive and most appetizing among others.

After 10 minutes, the Zabadani rice meal called Kabsa was served. This “wow”-ed me again. The taste is remarkable. I could not wait to grab my spoon to finally start eating.

Zabadani Food

Pita Zabadani

The food in Zabadani is really perfect for those who wanted to taste the Mediterranean experience. And the most important of all, Zabadani at The Peak’s price is really one of the most affordable fine-dining restaurants in Davao City. MUST VISIT!

Zabadani Cafe at the Peak

Water Tubing at Toyozo Mountain Resort

Summer is gone and the rainy season is about to come. For us who love to swim, need relaxation or just enjoy traveling, Philippines is lucky to have the rich island of Mindanao. From islands and highlands during summer to this rainy season’s hot springs, Mindanao has a lot to offer.

This rainy season let us enjoy traveling down south to the hot springs of Compostella Valley. For me, the best hot spring resort to go to is the Toyozu Mountain Resort. Toyozu is located in Barangay Bukal, Nabunturan, Compostella Valley Province or ComVal.

Private hot waterPools

The Municipality of Nabunturan actively promotes this Japanese-inspired mountain resort. As we all know, Japanese are known for steam bath and sauna. So, partnering with the local government, the owner of the land came up with the idea of developing the natural hot spring in Nabunturan for eco-tourism. People from neighboring cities and even foreigners have kept on coming back to Toyozu Mountain Resort for a fun, steamy dip or to make use of the health benefits that the natural hot spring is known for.

What are the other outdoor activities you can do in Toyozu Mountain Resort? Just beside the resort, there’s a river where you can enjoy the water river rapids. Water Tubing is one of the best outdoor activities that you can experience in Toyozu.

Come and Enjoy the beauty of Davao City.

We headed to The Peak in GMall for two purposes: first is to watch Batman Dark Knight Rises; and second is to dine in our favorite restaurant, Zabadani Café.

The Peak is a perfect place if you are looking for a resto because they have around 12 restaurants plus 5 soon-to-open stalls. The place also gives a beautiful overlooking view of the city. The colorful water garden, which looks like a block of small pools, is a breath of fresh air. It makes The Peak a cooler place to hang out with your family or friends because of its location and stunning view.

While waiting for our movie schedule, we went to Zabadani Café to eat our favorite Zabadani rice special. This time we tried the Sagheer, rice meal good for two. We had the Shrimp Kabsa in Sagheer size. Zabadani never disappoint us. It was good, as usual.

Zabadani Café was my featured blog article last month. Because of that blog post, Waddi, the manager offered me a Green Card. This is the second level of their Loyalty Cards – next to the Yellow Card. My goal now is to dine and dine to finally get the ultimate Gold Card – more discounts and free items. Anyway, with or without a Loyalty Card, Zabadani is really worth coming back.

Our stomachs had enough so we ended the day with the Batman movie for a more stress-relieving experience. I like Gmall’s theater because it is new and their seat is really comfortable.

Another Zabadani experience PLUS watching a movie with your special someone feels like you’re in a vacation –just simply happy.

Everyone wishes to spend his vacations on a lovely and peaceful island destination that is far from city life and you know what I mean of a city life.

Philippines own jewels of islands one of this is PUJADA ISLAND. The island belongs to the City Government of Mati Davao Oriental. This white beautiful island is at the center of Pujada bay,sandwiched between the fishing villages of Taganilao and Macambol. Pujada Island is one of Mati best attraction spot. This charming island is about 160 hectares and surrounded by the crystal clear blue waters of Pacific Ocean.

Pujada Island is also famous for their best diving spot, they have the best coral formation and different colorful fish. Divers love coming back because of the underwater beauty of the island.

The best way to go to Pujada Island is at barangay tagalinao. You can contact the local fisherman to transport and guide you to the island. Tagalinao is 25 kilometers away from Downtown Mati. Having private vehicle is really recommended so you don’t have any problem encountered because its really hard to set up an public utility vehicle to transport you to barangay tagalinao. After arriving at barangay tagalinao go to barangay hall to ask for assistant where to find the affordable guide person to pujada Island.

Pujada Island does not have a resort to relay on with your foods and other things so bring your own. The island is good for picture taking, diving and picnic. Leave the Island before 4:00 pm before the big wave turn your boat upside down.

Pujada Island is less visited because of its location and not advertise island. But if you love to discover new place and be adventurous you can go to pujada island and explore the virgin nature of the Island.

Enjoy and keep safe. Just simply vacation!
