Things to do in DAVAO | Eden Nature Park

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

If you're a first time traveler in Davao visiting Eden Nature Park is a MUST!

Eden Nature Park is a sanctuary of vast garden of trees, flowers, herbs and organic vegetables 3,000 feet above sea level. The 80 hectare park is 95% man made with over 100,000 pine trees planted years ago. Eden Nature Park is an ideal outlet for those seeking for sensuous relaxation, adventure with nature and fresh air.


 Going to Eden Nature Park is quite far, it is located in Toril, Davao for about 2 hours travel time. In our case we rented a van from our hotel that we used to tour around the city and to Eden Nature Park.

3. Fishing 
P40 for the fishing equipment rental plus a required fee per kilo of the fishes you will catch. We caught a total of 3 tilapias for about P220 (Yay!) but we had no where to cook so instead we gave it to our van driver :) 
Btw, the P40 fee comes with a free bottled water.

Other ways to go to Eden Nature Park:

Via taxi- taxis can be negotiated anywhere at the city for P1,000.00 back and forth.

Via public transportation- you can ride a jeepney bound for Toril. Just tell the jeepney conductor to drop you off at Mercury Drug Store. There are single motorcycles waiting to be hired at P 80 per person to bring you right at the entrance of Eden Nature Park & Resort.

Via private car-Eden Nature Park & Resort is located just approximately 40 km. south of Davao City proper or less than two hours drive from the Davao International Airport.

    You should've went for the buffet! I highly recommend their buffet because even though the options are quite limited, they use the freshest ingredients. Argh, I am craving for those salads and other fresh items even just thinking about it :)
