Rediscovering NLU Whitewater Tubing in Maitum Sarangani

It's my fifth time to try the whitewater tubing at NLU Whitewater Eco Park but, I swear, it always feels like the first time every time. I have even tried tubing without a river guide during the AMARACA Festival in summertime.



Recently, I tried the 2.1-km trail and it features the big fall. It's a different experience altogether. Check out my video to see what I'm talking about.



The New La Union Whitewater EcoPark takes advantage of the rapids of Pangi River, which has been adjudged as one of the cleanest rivers in the country.



How to Get There

  1. NLU Whitewater Eco Park is found in Maitum, Sarangani Province.
  2. From General Santos City, travel to Maitum, about a two-hour journey on average.
  3. Before reaching Poblacion, make a right turn just before reaching Pangi Elementary School.
  4. Pangi ES in on the left side of the road. The road to NLU is at the right side.
  5. If taking public transportation, you stop by Pangi ES and take a tricycle or a motorcycle to NLU, which is 10 km away.

Water Tubing Rates

  • 1.6 km Php 250.00 
  • 2.1 km Php 300.00 
  • 4.0 km Php 650.00

What to Eat

Indulge in their local delicacies that will certainly make your visit memorable.

Try their crispy fried marinated bangsi at only Php 20.00 apiece. 



They also serve pinakbet (serves 3-4) for only Php 100.00. 


You may also ask for Masi, a locally produced juice from local ingredients.

Check out their page for more information: NLU Whitewater Tubing EcoPark

Aside from the Whitewater Tubing adventure, Maitum also boasts of other EcoTourism activities like trekking to their waterfalls, visiting the Pawikan sanctuary and the production sites of their famed marinated bangsi. You can ask around or coordinate with their local tourism if you would like to try those.

See you at the MunaTo Festival 2025 and Celebrate Sarangani’s Culture, Rhythm, and Resilience

As Sarangans, when it's the last week of November, we know the drill. It's MunaTo Festival! And yes, the festive spirit is rising once again in— and you can already feel the energy building up across Sarangani Province! As Sarangani celebrates its 33rd Founding Anniversary alongside the 23rd MunaTo Festival, the province pays tribute to its roots, its people, and its thriving cultural identity. “MunaTo,” meaning “First People,” is more than just a name — it's a reminder that Sarangani’s story is deeply grounded in its heritage and in the communities that have shaped its vibrant character. This year’s theme, “ Kultura Natin, Lakas Natin, ” captures the soul of the celebration — a powerful declaration that culture is at the heart of Sarangani’s strength and unity. From November 28 to 30, 2025, the Sarangani Capitol Grounds will once again come alive with music, color, and culture. But a personal favorite of mine? The festivities start even before the main program — and they’r...
