Things to do in Davao

What to expect in Davao

The Things to Do catalogue in Davao is led by Water activities and Tours, so you’ll find plenty of marine experiences alongside guided land excursions, making the city easy to mix beach days with sightseeing. Water activities tend to be the most affordable entry point while Tours offer the widest range of prices and options, which suits both budget travellers and those after a more curated trip. Demand peaks in August and is quietest in December, so you’ll find the most competition for popular slots in August and generally easier availability in December.

Choosing which activities to book

A key choice is whether you want the most affordable way in or a broader range of options — Water activities are the most accessible, with a typical price of SGD 21, while Tours are the category with the widest spread and a typical price of SGD 59. Water activities have a narrow range so shopping around gains little; they suit travellers filling gaps in an itinerary.

If you want variety and premium options, Tours show the widest range with an entry-level price around SGD 40 and upper-end options around SGD 69, making them the category where comparing inclusions and level of service matters most. Use Water activities for quick, affordable experiences and Tours when you want more curated or higher-end choices.

When travellers from Singapore book

Most travellers book about 4 days ahead, while the earliest planners tend to book around 11 days out. That means many bookings are made at short notice rather than months in advance, but a little cushion helps during the peak in August.
