Davao City, located in Mindanao, is the largest city worldwide measured in surface area. The nearby white crystal clear beaches of Samal Island are some of the best in the world and it is easy to find tours or boats that will bring you there. Hikers and mountain climbers can visit Mount Apo, at 3144 meter, the highest top in the Philippines. There are also wildlife sanctuaries for the endangered Philippine Eagle and several crocodile parks. The area is known for its many exotic fruit plantations, especially durian and banana's, and for its tropical forests holding orchid species such as the vanda sanderiana. Most diving is done of the coasts of Samal Island and Talikud Islands, reached by boat from Davao City in less than half an hour. Enjoy scuba diving in these nutrient waters or take a dip swimming on one of the Samal Beaches.
