Davao Airport Observation Deck: A Panoramic Gateway to Davao

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from downtown Davao City and head towards the Buhangin area. You can take JP Laurel Avenue (also known as Diversion Road) and follow the signs leading to Davao International Airport. Once you see the airport signage, continue straight until you reach the airport premises. The Observation Deck is located on the rooftop of the terminal building, so you can park your vehicle in the airport parking area, which may incur a small fee (around PHP 50-100 for short-term parking).

• Public Transportation (Taxi or Grab)

  For those using public transportation, the easiest option is to take a taxi or use the Grab app. Simply input 'Davao International Airport' as your destination. The fare from downtown Davao should range from PHP 150 to PHP 300, depending on traffic conditions. Inform the driver that you want to go to the Observation Deck, which is on top of the airport terminal. Upon arrival, you can access an elevator or stairs leading to the deck.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  If you prefer a more economical route, you can catch a bus heading to the airport. From the city center, look for buses that have 'Airport' or 'Buhangin' signs. These buses typically cost between PHP 20 to PHP 50. Inform the conductor that you need to get off at Davao International Airport. Once you arrive, proceed to the terminal building, where you can take the elevator or stairs to the Observation Deck. Be mindful of the bus schedule to avoid long waiting times.
