Kuya Tins helped us a lot and definetly gave us the best assistance for us to enjoy our trip. He gave also bits of trivia about the city while we travel from one site to another. The itinerary was not hectic, so we really enjoyed each site.

I would like to commend on how organized this tour had been from the very start. From the email confirmation from the operator when I booked, the reminder and detailed itinerary sent via txt few days before the tour date and the flow of the tour itself. Our driver/guide Kuya Tata just made it extra by being so prompt, knowledgeable and made sure we were safe and able to enjoy the places in the itinerary fully. We truly appreciate that. This tour highlights plenty of important and famous places in Davao City. Highly recommended!

This stay has been our 2nd in this hotel. We checked in late in the evening and the restaurant was 20 minutes away from closing but still the restaurant staff graciously served us delicious food. We are grateful for their service. We highly recommend this hotel for families with children. The room is huge, not your ordinary room size, clean, comfortable and close to malls, restaurants and airport. Thank you to Acacia Hotel for the warm hospitality.

My stay in this hotel is good. They provided the basic necessities, good bed, good sheets and linens, basic toiletries. They also provides glass and water dispenser outside the room. aside from that, it is conveniently located near Mcdonalds and Jollibee, watson’s, mercury drugs. Some problems encountered were only 1 elevator is functioning, and its a bit slow. bath towels were really old, easily damaged and were darkened in color.

What to know before visiting Davao

What to do in Davao

Davao’s busiest Klook bookings cluster around Water activities and Tours, so expect the city to be best known for coastal adventures and guided sightseeing. Demand follows a seasonal rhythm: historical Klook booking data shows a clear high in September and a quieter spell in March. That means outdoor water-based experiences feature strongly through the busier months, while tours remain steady year-round. Decide whether you want lively peak-season energy or quieter discovery — this choice will shape the kinds of activities available and how early you should plan on Klook.

Best time to visit Davao

September is the single busiest month on Klook, with demand peaking compared with a typical month, while March is the quietest month of the year. Prices drift modestly across the calendar: typical paid prices on Klook are lowest around July and highest around January–February, and demand and prices are not perfectly aligned — September brings bigger crowds even though its typical price is mid-range. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for July or March; for peak-season atmosphere, choose September.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average MYR 134
February About average MYR 134
March Quieter than usual MYR 130
April About average MYR 130
May About average MYR 130
June About average MYR 122
July About average MYR 122
August Busier than usual MYR 126
September Busier than usual MYR 130
October About average MYR 126
November Busier than usual MYR 126
December About average MYR 122

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Choosing where to stay in Davao

Klook booking data shows a clear split in typical nightly hotel prices across districts. The most affordable area is 74-A Matina Crossing at typically around MYR 158, while Agdao sits at the priciest end at typically around MYR 296, a gap of roughly 47% between them. Budget-conscious travellers or those prioritising longer stays tend to favour the more affordable district, while travellers seeking a higher-end hotel experience or more premium amenities often pick the priciest district. These differences are based on Klook booking data and reflect typical nightly rates.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers on Klook book roughly 4 days ahead, while the earliest planners book about 11 days out, so you can often stay flexible and secure activities close to your trip. In busier months such as September, booking earlier on Klook is wise to avoid sold-out time slots. If you prefer lower prices and fewer crowds, consider July or March and book a few days ahead; for peak-season experiences, lock activities in sooner. Use Klook to compare typical prices and available time slots, then reserve when you see options that suit your schedule.
