You are obviously clueless about rapids Classes.
Goto wikipedia and find out whitewater rapids Classes.
Or even better try raft first before you define the rapids Classes.

This is what class 4 looks like (this is in CDO);

Although raft in not possible here, but this is perfect for white water kayaking. And only in CDO.

A Lonely Planet forum poster was licking his lips because he wants to see this at CDO.

sorry if I'm clueless, but that does not change the fact that CdO rapids is class 3 and 3+, while Davao rapids is class 3+.
If im clueless then so are those professionals that classified these rapids!!! cheers bisdak!

Classification CDO River Rapids

Whitewater rapids are rated on a scale of one through six, indicating the difficulty of each rapid at "normal" water level. The scale is a subjective one. While rapids are individually classed, rivers are given an overall classification that takes the whole stretch of river into account. As an example, the wilderness section of the Cagayan de Oro River has lots of Class IV rapids, but the overall classification is Class III and III+, indicating that a rafter with strong Class III skills would find the challenges within his/her abilities.
