Davao Pearl Farm (Samal) - Day 1 of Davao Adventure 2011

We went to the Pearl Farm for a day-tour on the first day of our Davao trip. Day tour costs P 1,850 on weekdays and P 2,500 on weekends. Meet-up point for Davao Pearl Farm is at the Marina Wharf. From the airport, we took the taxi going to the Wharf. From the Wharf, you’ll be taken by a ferry to the Pearl Farm. Travel time is approximately 45 minutes.  Before leaving the Wharf, you’ll be oriented by the Front Desk Staff for about 10 minutes before you board the ferry. Davao Pearl Farm is on Samal Island.

Upon arrival on Samal Island, you’ll be offered with complimentary drinks, normally pineapple juice. Pearl farm is quite huge - there are mini-shuttles that can bring you from one spot to another. If you’re the adventurous type, you may want to explore the Farm on foot.
