San Rafael River Adventure: Nature and adventure rolled into one

I was looking for a perfect place to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. Luckily, I found this hidden sanctuary near Manila. Literally a great place if you’re a nature lover whose in need of some relaxation and an adventure junkie because of their land and water activities.

What really catches my attention is their Glamping with a Twist accommodation. With this, your tent will be put inside a raft located in the river. What a wonderful and one-of-a-kind experience, indeed.

PLACE

This place is truly a gem! You will experience nature and adventure in one. The place is really big. Actually, I didn’t have enough time to explore the whole area because we lacked out of time. Daytour problems hehe. Upon entering the place, one of the staff will accommodate you immediately and will assists you all throughout your stay. When we went there, some of the facilities we’re still under construction like the floating pool.

For the accommodation, they have:

  • Glass Villa
  • Glass Tree House
  • Glass Cottage
  • Regular Glamping
  • Glamping with a Twist
  • Day & Night Kubo Cottage

Available in daytour, night tour, and overnight.

PS: Glamping with a twist area is a bit isolated to the main area of the resort. But don’t worry, one of the staff will leave his/her number for you to reach him/her in case you need further assistance.

PRICE AND SERVICE

As I inquire, it took me days before I got a reply from them. After confirming my booking, they required us to deposit 50% of the package we got to their account to secure our reservation.

For the rates, I was quite surprised with their pricing scheme because for a Daytour package (11 hours), it’s really expensive. But we still decided to give it a try and we’re happy that we did. It was worth it.

Services offered:

  • Accommodation
  • Team building
  • Prenup
  • Debut celebration
  • Water and land activities

PS: We availed the Glamping with a Twist Daytour (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM)

  • Perfect for company outings, prenups, photoshoots, and even a perfect place to have your honeymoon.

TIPS

  • Their swimming pool is surprisingly deep. HAHAHA.
  • They observe pool dress code. But when we got there, the rules weren’t enforced strictly.
  • Don’t try kayaking at noon (like we did). It will burn your skin. LOL.
  • Be careful when you try the Floating Bridge challenge. I got a wound after because the bridge was destroyed that time. LOL.
  • Be sure to go to the CR before 5:00 PM to avoid long lines. (If you availed a day tour package only.)
