Various jeepney terminals (e.g., Bankerohan, Obrero) → We R Inn area (routes passing Quimpo Blvd)
💡 For We R Inn, take a jeepney with 'Quimpo' or 'F. Torres' on the side panel. Drop off at the corner of Quimpo Blvd and F. Torres St. Pay the driver as you board or pass your fare forward. Have small bills or coins ready – drivers rarely have change for PHP 50.
Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO) → We R Inn, Davao City
💡 Grab is the most reliable ride-hailing app in Davao. The pickup point is outside arrivals. Avoid surge pricing by booking immediately after landing. Often cheaper than metered taxis and you get a fixed fare upfront.
Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO) → We R Inn, Davao City

Top Attractions in Davao
💡 Visit late afternoon when the heat drops and locals come out. The Wi-Fi is reliable enough for basic browsing.
💡 Step inside for air-con and quiet during midday heat. The adjacent plaza often has cheap street food vendors in the evening.
💡 The 30-minute guided tour is included in the fee and adds context you'd miss on your own. Go early on weekday mornings when it's empty.
💡 Go for the 10am or 3pm feeding sessions to see the crocs leap for meat. Skip the overpriced snacks inside and eat at a nearby carinderia after.
💡 Take the first shuttle at 8am to avoid crowds. Pack a picnic lunch—eating at the on-site restaurant is pricey and average.
