 Adventure | Riverside | Energetic

Cagayan de Oro, often called the “City of Golden Friendship,” offers a unique combination of urban convenience and adrenaline‑filled activities. It is increasingly popular for incentive trips, mid‑sized conferences and celebrations that want to balance structured sessions with outdoor fun.

Limketkai Luxe Hotel is the city’s flagship venue, with expansive ballrooms, modern AV facilities and dedicated conference staff. It hosts everything from regional trade fairs to black‑tie galas, and its proximity to shopping and dining districts adds convenience for delegates. N Hotel offers a more boutique setting, perfect for creative workshops, board meetings or intimate celebrations with a garden backdrop.

Planners often integrate adventure into their programmes. White‑water rafting on the Cagayan River is the city’s signature activity, creating unforgettable team‑building memories. Incentive groups enjoy zip‑lining, rappelling or exploring nearby Mapawa Nature Park, where forest trails, waterfalls and obstacle courses await. These experiences energise attendees and provide a refreshing break from conference rooms.

Evenings in Cagayan de Oro are lively. Planners often schedule riverside dinners featuring lechon, kinilaw and other local specialities. Performances by local musicians or cultural troupes add colour and authenticity. The city’s reputation for friendliness is evident in the helpfulness of hotel teams and suppliers, making events easy to manage.

Cagayan de Oro’s airport provides direct connections to Manila and Cebu, and its road network links easily to nearby provinces, enabling pre‑ or post‑event tours. For planners looking for a destination that blends energy, adventure and warm hospitality, Cagayan de Oro offers a compelling proposition.
