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.
