There are so many things to do, so many food to eat, and so many sights to see when you’re in Davao City. If you only have 24 hours in my Davao City, here are some destinations you can visit for a quick Davao Tour.
My Davao City is the perfect place to experience all the best tourist activities, the mountainside and the beach are both just a few minutes away from the urban center, the food is fresh and affordable, and the people are friendly and helpful. There are various cheap hotels in Davao if you want to stay in the city for a night.
Quick Davao Tour Itinerary
Here are our top picks for your 24 hour Davao trip:
- Paradise Island Resort
- Lachi’s Sans Rival Atbp
- Philippine Eagle Center
- Tiny Kitchen
- Riverfront Corporate Center
Paradise Island Resort
The Paradise Island Resort is the most popular beach resort in the Island Garden City of Samal.

It is not technically in Davao City but it’s just a 10 minute boat ride from Davao City. It has a beautiful white sand beach and they serve delicious food. I suggest you go there very early in the morning when the tide is high. And while you’re there, order some food for breakfast or brunch.
Lachi’s Sans Rival Atbp
You must not leave Davao without trying the famous Lachi’s Sans Rival Atbp.




Lachi‘s Sans Rival is famous for its delicious but not too sweet desserts, especially the sans rival. And their affordable home-cooked savory dishes are also must-try dishes. Eat there for lunch and don’t leave without eating dessert. I highly recommend the Unforgettable Pork Ribs or the Chicken Mozarella. And for dessert, do try the sans rival or the cheesecakes.
Philippine Eagle Center
In the afternoon, commune with nature and enjoy the view on the way to Philippine Eagle Center. The park is home to the majestic Philippine Eagle and other exotic flora and fauna. This trip will surely delight the young and old alike.
Tiny Kitchen

For dinner, drop by Tiny Kitchen. Tiny Kitchen serves delicious Spanish dishes at affordable prices. They specialize in paella and offer it in various kinds and sizes. If you’re not a fan of paella, try their pasta dishes or their caldereta, fish dishes, or the lengua. Finish off your meal with some desserts. I highly recommend the mango sans rival and the frozen chocolate brazo de mercedes.
Riverfront Corporate Center
If you have time left, visit the Riverfront Corporate Center where you can ride the Zorv, take an adventure on Zip City’s zipline ride, interact with the animals at Crocodile Park, experience local tribe cultures at the cultural village, and eat exotic dishes at the Riverwalk Restaurant. You will not run out of things to do in this one stop center for fun, food, and adventure.
Other activities you can do in Davao City are a photowalk around the San Pedro Street, Magallanes Street, and People’s Park areas; food tripping across the city; night photowalk at the sea wall featuring the replica of the statue of David; and a visit to the Magsaysay fruit stand.
