        Best of Cebu in a single day
        This tour exceeded all of our expectations and more, and was also very reasonably priced. We joined them for their Oslob whale shark / Kawasan Canyoneering / Moalboal snorkelling tour. Throughout the tour, we were well taken care of by our driver Catherine who was endlessly patient, taking us safely from spot to spot despite the long hours of driving and less than ideal road conditions. Our two guides at Kawasan Remuel and James were also incredible - very fun personalities who guided us through the gorgeous waterfalls and putting in their maximum effort to help us take the best photos and videos. The whale sharks and the Canyoneering were both unforgettable experiences and the sardine run and turtles at Moalboal were also beautiful. 100% recommended but would recommend staying further down south Cebu island instead of staying in Mactan if you want to avoid the longer hours of travel from Cebu to where the attractions were located.

        One of the best days of my life!!!!
        We started the day off with our ride with Ryan at exactly 4 am on the dot when they said they'd come get us! Off to a great start. Then we went to see the whale sharks which was very cool but a bit chaotic. Then we went to Kawasan falls and had the absolute best time of our lives adventuring and joking around with our guides. We started with a motorcycle ride to the zipline and got some awesome views from that. Then for canyoneering, we were a group of 4 and we had 4 guides for our group that always made us feel safe, taken care of, and heavily instagram photo ready. These guys are so funny and take some really good pictures and videos. Canyoneering was such an adventure of a lifetime. Definitely requires you to be in good enough shape because it is a long adventure, but every second of it is worth it. Things ran a bit long in Kawasan falls, but we never felt rushed or pressured. Then we got to lunch at the owners house and the food was spectacular. One of our group couldn't eat chicken or fish and they were nice enough to accommodate that! By that time the day had gotten really late, so we tried our best to make it to Sardines, but when we got there the conditions weren't the best and we ended up heading home after that. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better trip and if you're considering these people for this activity, do it.

        The ultimate comprehensive Cebu experience!!
        If you want to experience the top 3 highlights of Cebu this is the tour to take! From swimming directly with amazing whale sharks in Oslob to canyoneering the turquoise Kawasan Falls in Badian to the breathtaking sardine run (and sea turtles!!) in Moalboal, this tour was unforgettable! Ryan was my driver and was super attentive and got me to each location safely and in record time, and Dwinz was my tour guide for Kawasan Falls and took the best photos imaginable while insuring we ventured safely and adventurously through the canyon, and the owner of the company was very sweet and had a huge authentic Filipino lunch waiting for me once I reached their base! I’m telling you guys, if you’re looking for the ultimate Cebu experience this is the one to go with! Have fun!!

        Fun tour with great guides!
        We went on a Kawasan Falls canyoneering tour with these guys. We stayed at Moalboal and had our own car so we didn't ask for the pickup. Their office was easy to find based on the instructions. We started around 7.30 am and were back by 1 pm. This tour was the highlight of our 2 weeks at the Philippines! We booked a private tour for our family of 4 and we got 4 guides. Eric, Jarson, Danilo and Sanjet were the best guides we could wish for. We could tell from the first moment we met that we were going to have a great time with them. They took very good care of us, making sure we were safe all the time. They were funny and entertaining as well. They didn't get tired of our 10 years old daughter who wanted to jump several times and swing even more. They took us behind the waterfall which was the best experience (after the big jump). We didn't bring a camera or phone with us and they asked one of their friends to take some pictures and send them afterwards. After the tour we got a delicious lunch at their office, it was the perfect ending of our trip. The canyon is really beautiful, the zipline at the beginning was also fun and the motor ride to get there was even more fun 😁 You don't need to bring anything with you (beside your camera), you can get drinks and even basic food along the way and pay after you got back. If you are thinking about doing the canyoneering, book these guys! You won't regret it!

        Action packed
        My friend and I felt so welcome and safe during the whole guide experience! The whale watching tour was so amazing be prepared for the workout of the week as depending on currents you need to use strength. Catherine the driver was flexible when it came to needs. The canyoneering experience was also great with DELICIOUS food afterwards. An activity packed tour that really delivers.

        Best day of our trip!
        Listen. This day was a long one but I wouldn’t change it for a thing. This easily made our trip to cebu worth it!!! From the beginning, communication was excellent. Maan was willing to answer all our questions and make sure we were prepped ahead of time. Our driver Yul was delightful. We had 4 adults and 4 kids in our group and by the end of the day, all the kids knew him as Uncle Yul. The whale sharks were awesome. Yes, it’s chaotic, but our guide took care of us and made sure we had a great experience. Canyoneering was absolutely the best part of the day. Our guides were outstanding. (Thank you Judy, roli, jr, Rey, and jubert!) Two guides took our 6 year old and 7 year old by the hand and stayed with them the entire time. We have amazing pictures thanks to our guides, too. The 5 guides made this experience more fun than any of us imagined, even in the rain!! Lunch was the best meal we had on our entire trip. Thank you Mama!!!! To end the day, the sardines and turtle experience were awesome. We were all exhausted and our guides understood when we were ready to be done. Was it a long day? Yes. But I wouldn’t change it for anything. The day was amazing and left us with the best memories from Cebu!! (We were glad to have a relaxing day afterwards to recover!) Thank you for taking such good care of all of us!!

        The great escape from the city
        What a fantastic day out and escape from the city! We were picked up at our hotel in the city centre by Ryan who was our lovely driver for the day. Despite the 3am start we were able to have a snooze for the 3hrs in the comfy air-con car till we reached Oslob. At Oslob the team already had gotten our queue numbers so we waited by the car for 2 hrs till it was our turn watching the sunrise. The whale shark watching was an experience - I stayed in the boat while my other half swam. He was so close to the shark he could have reached out to touch it (but this is not allowed). I could clearly see it from the boat too. While it was amazing to see such a beautiful creature I did feel there were too many boats/ people in the water at one time and it didn’t sit well with me that the boatmen fed the whale sharks. The boatmen assured me the animals go back out to sea by midday and reappear the following morning. In total we had 30mins to see them before being taken back to shore. Next stop was the Kawasan Falls which was 1.5hrs away. This was the highlight of the day by far! Christian and JR were our guides (2 guides : 2 visitors) and they made sure we were safe and had fun exploring the amazing canyon, waterfalls and pools. We go to wade, slide and jump into the cool fresh water - the guys even took videos and photos so we didn’t have to. We were in such good hands - they were very considerate to take care of me even when I didn’t want to do the big jumps! Lunch was a fantastic home cooked Filipino spread up in the hills. Our host was delightful and made us feel super welcome. The food was the best I’d eaten since arriving in the country. The last activity was to swim with the sardines and turtles in Moalboal which was 30mins drive along the beautiful coastline. I didn’t partake as there was no need to reach the animals by boat. My husband entered the water from the shore and had 30mins to snorkel accompanied by his guide. Here there were less people and the animals seemed to be free to be in the vicinity if they chose to. I was disappointed not to see the turtle myself but the videos taken were super clear. When we finished our day Ryan expertly handled the chaotic Christmas traffic all 3hrs back to Cebu city. He deserves a medal for his patience and driving skills. I’m a nervous passenger but I felt very safe with him behind the wheel! An amazing escape from the city for a day. Well worth every penny!

        Long but amazing day trip
        Before starting the tour, we weren't completely sure how good the different activities will be. We compared lots of tour options and decided on this one as it combined all the highlights of Cebu Island that we wanted to see. It did not disappoint! We were picked up at our hotel in Cebu city at 3:30 AM by our driver, Ryan, who was very friendly, helpful and considerate. We talked a lot about different things in the Philippines during the many hours we spent in the car that day. First there's a 3 hour ride to Oslob where we had a chance to swim with whale sharks. The early departure is needed because the whale sharks come near the coast only in the morning, as that's when they're being fed. After a safety instruction and some waiting time (it can be very busy there...) we got our chance to hop into a boat and get near the sharks for about 30 minutes. They're completely harmless and it's fascinating to see them from such a close distance. There's an option to rent a GoPro for 550 PHP, the guys on the boat can take pictures and videos of you. They transfer the media to your phone afterwards through a USB cable. Definitely worth the price. After the stop in Oslob we continued towards Alegria, where we went canyoneering (duration approx. 3 hours). Normally they would take us to the Kawasan Falls instead, but the area has (for now) been closed by the authorities earlier this year. We didn't know more than that it's going to be a mix of hiking, swimming and jumping, but it definitely exceeded our expectations! You basically do the activity in swimwear, with water shoes, life vest and helmet which you all get there. Most of the canyoneering involves walking/swimming through the river! Very refreshing compared to a regular hike in the forest or mountains. There are several jumps along the way, with a 9 meter tall jump at the very end (which can be skipped if you don't dare). Our guides Ferdinand and Jason were very helpful and patient with us, we felt very safe around them. Just follow their instructions :) They also took plenty of pictures/videos of us during the activity, which was very nice. Please note that everything you will carry with you will get wet, so either bring a dry bag with you or leave your things in the car. After the canyoneering activity, we went for a short drive to have lunch at a family farm owned by the tour operator. There was lots of food for our group of 4 and it was all very tasty! One of the guys was vegetarian and the hosts took that into account with some of the dishes, which was nice. After lunch we drove another 30 minutes to Moalboal, where we took part in the last activity of the day: snorkeling with sardines and sea turtles (30 minutes). It was nice, we managed to see 3 turtles and loads of sardines, as well as clownfish and blue starfish! Then Ryan drove us back to Cebu city, which again took 3 hours. So, this trip took about 14 hours and we were totally broken by the time we returned to the hotel, but this was a great day and the absolute maximum you can get out of a day on Cebu island. We would definitely recommend this tour.

      It was a long drive but worth it. We had some great experiences for the first time.
      They had everything well organized - especially there was no waiting for whale shark.
      Need to bring towels and water.

      This trip was nothing but amazing! I had a car collect me at 6am which took me to Oslob to swim with the whale sharks, I skipped the ques and got on the boat out to the whale sharks immediately, they provided the mask and took photos of me on my GoPro for me. Then i was taken to the canyoneering where my guide Kristian met me, this was a private tour which I didn’t realise, Kristian was amazing. He helped me on the tricky rocks, took loads of photos and videos of me all the way down, I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. After the canyoneering I was taking to have lunch which was a full on feast! I couldn’t fault the day at all. Highly recommend both tours! Thank you so much!

      Absolutely amazing day, the guides really made this tour so special with their kindness and with how well they looked after us!
      We started the morning with a breakfast and visiting the whale sharks which was absolutely phenomenal, they’re so big but so friendly. We went to a beautiful waterfall and had a lovely lunch. We then went canyoneering which was so much fun! I was really nervous of the high waterfalls but the guides were so friendly and helped me along every step of the way. After this we were brought to the owner of the companies beautiful home where they fed us the most delicious meal, all homemade and most of the ingredients were grown in their garden. We got to meet his beautiful lovely wife who had made all the food, we played with their happy friendly dogs and the conversations we had with the family and the food really made this part the most special part of the day for us.
      We finished the day by doing the sardine run and we even got to see a turtle so it was the perfect way to finish the day! Could not recommend this trip highly enough.
      Also Moalboal is so stunning, we decided to stay here and not go back to the city and we’re so glad we did!
      I wish I could remember our guides names but I want to say Joe and Nim? They really helped us as well as the rest of the guides, they were all fantastic and made us smile a lot!
