Yamaha Tour de Rev Mindanao

Yamaha Motor Philippines continues it’s Tour de Rev series as it traveled to the island of Mindanao last July 27 to 29, 2018. 50 riders, screened and selected based on rider skill and experience, were given the chance to participate in this epic experience.

Starting in Revzone, Davao City, the riders made their way around the beautiful island of Mindanao. Travelling almost 1,300 kilometers the route took them through some of the most challenging and scenic routes we have ever seen. Mindanao is truly a rider’s paradise. Long stretches of well paved roads that go on forever, mountain and coastal twisties that will satisfy your inner racer, and of course the friendly people that you meet along the way, always ready to help and always ready with a smile.

The natural beauty of Mindanao was in full display as the riders visited different attractions during the trip. The Philippine’s highest mountain, Mt. Apo greeted the riders during the first day as they had their breakfast at Dhen Yho’s Place in Kapatagan, Davao del Sur. Measuring 9,692 feet, Mt. Apo is an imposing figure that dominates the landscape. The next stop, on the second day of the tour, was the breathtaking Hinatuan Enchanted River in Surigao del Sur. A true wonder of nature, the turquoise waters of the main pool is truly an enchanting sight to behold. The main pool, which reaches a depth of approximately 100 feet, has been closed off to the public since 2017 in an effort to protect and preserve both the place and the fish that frequent the waters. Visitors are still welcome to swim in the adjoining river. The last place visited by the participants was the Tagbibinti Falls located in Maragusan, Compostela Valley, 60 kilometers from Mati, Davao del Sur. Measuring approximately 700 feet, Tagbibinti Falls is composed of 7 different water falls. Unfortunately the media team weren’t able to join this leg and headed straight to Davao City from Mati to prepare for the participants arrival.

As evening began to set in during the third day of the ride, the participants arrived, en masse. All the finishers were awarded medals and certificates as they rode up to the stage at the last stop to officially end their journey.

MotorHub Davao and Yamaha Motor Philippines closed off the evening with a small celebration to show their appreciation to all the participants as well as to everyone who made this Mindanao Leg of Yamaha’s Tour de Rev an amazing success.

We can’t wait for the next leg which will be happening soon.
