Discover the vibrant charm of Cagayan de Oro City uniquely and authentically — aboard the city’s very own Motorela, a local version of the tricycle! This half-day tour offers a fun and personal glimpse into the city’s culture, history, and daily life.

Please note that the Motorela tour is available only for hotels located within the downtown area. For hotels outside the city center, the tour will use a private vehicle instead.

Begin your journey with a visit to the St. Augustine Cathedral, an architectural and spiritual landmark of the city. Continue to the Sendong Marker, a memorial that honors the resilience of Cagay-anons after Typhoon Sendong. Learn more about the city’s past at the City Museum, uniquely housed inside a repurposed water tank.

Next, explore Divisoria Plaza, the heart of the city, surrounded by shops, cafés, and local activity. Discover regional heritage at the Museum of Three Cultures, which showcases the artistry and traditions of Mindanao’s Christian, Muslim, and Lumad communities. Pass by the Provincial Capitol Grounds and admire the lush gardens and stately government buildings.

For non-Motorela tours, enjoy a stop at the Gen. Douglas MacArthur Marker, commemorating the American general’s arrival in Cagayan de Oro during World War II. End your trip with pasalubong shopping, where you can buy local treats and handmade souvenirs to remember your visit.

This Cagayan de Oro Half-Day City Tour is a delightful mix of history, culture, and local color — perfect for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike.
