About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Natasa-Krstic0 contributionsExcellent serviceExcellent service by Mae and her colleague driver, we were pampered from the beginning. They managed even to neutralize long trip and bad road conditions.Written 11 January 2025
- O9278MLjustinm0 contributionsGreat experience!Very well done tour. The staff is super respectful and runs a smooth operation! They keep your belongings safe while you are with the whale sharks and snorkeling so it makes it very easy to enjoy the experience. The animals are absolutely incredible. The guides at Moalboal are very good about taking pictures for you if you hand them your camera while you’re in the water. At Oslob you have to pay for that (but you can rent the camera itself for free I believe, I brought my own)Written 9 January 2025
- jesseo2460 contributionsDream come trueSwimming with the whale sharks has been a dream of ours, and they made it happen. Very attentive, and caring of our experience with our young child. The photographer captured the entire experience for us with video and photos. We also got to swim with the sea turtles which was amazing. Highly recommend this tour!Written 26 December 2024
- jlanley0 contributionsWhale Sharks and sea turtlesOur tour guide Mae was wonderful. Even though the road was rough due to on going construction, the driver gave us a comfortable ride.

Super fun and must do! The staff and crew are awesome- so helpful and lovely. They were always ready to give a hand, literally, when boarding on/off, taking photos etc.. They recorded us snorkeling and we downloaded the videos directly to our phone.
I probably totally overpaid the fisherman for the fresh seafood but being an American I know they can use that money.. but be prepared to bring some cash. I wasn’t fully aware of that option and honestly would have negotiated the seafood we bought. The staff cooked it for us and was very yummy.
Highly recommend and remember to bring cash to tip the crew- they work super hard!

It was my 2nd trip to Cebu. Since we could only stay for 3 days, I wanted to enjoy fully, and that's why I joined this tour. Fortunately, It was great weather, so we could meet hundreds of...millions of...?! fish! A little bit being afraid of swarm of fish, but totally satisfied :D

Had a great time on this tour with our lovely and very sweet female guide. Her name escapes me now but the tour was on March 8th so I hope the business gives her some credit. The stops were very nice. The water was beautiful. The tour company provides water, towels, lunch, snorkels and a go pro! We got some great pics and had a wonderful day on the boat. The two men driving were very friendly and the ride was smooth. TONS of fish snorkeling and the guys gave you fish food to draw them near. Crystal clear water. Overall great time. Highly recommend.

Ironically, this company is named “Fun Group,” which is ironic because it is not fun. I do not recommend the Island Hoping tour unless you have never been snorkeling in your life before, and never been to a nice beach or waters anywhere in the world before (including other places iin the Philippines). Also, this is not really an “island hopping trip.” You do not get off the boat at the first stop, you jump in the water off an island (rather dirty water), you proceed to the second island where you get off the boat to walk around a tiny island with nothing on it to see except a small private resort, and then do a little more snorkeling, and then finally you will go to a slightly larger island where people live with a very mediocre beach. The last island is full of roosters and stray dogs and basically is just trap to get you to buy souvenirs from the locals.
Highs:
1) Our guide, Norvina, was very nice and even though this tour was a total letdown, she did her job well and cared about our well-being and attempted to make sure we were having a good time.
2) We did not get sick from the BBQ lunch – quite a surprise.
Lows:
1) BE WARNED, the engine on these boats are very very loud – I highly recommend brining noise cancelling earbuds, headphone, or industrial grade earplugs/protection. I wish they had warned us.
2) The boat is very very slow. I am not sure if they did this on purpose to make it feel like your tour is longer than it is so you feel like your getting your money’s worth, but it was the slowest boat I have ever been on.
3) If it is low tide expect the water to be full of seaweed and kind of dirty.
4) They only provide two bottles of water, and two small cokes. Luckily Norvina asked us if we wanted to buy water before we got on the boat, which we did. However, I have been on many boat tours before and never had to buy extra water, because at the bare minimum water is usually included.
5) There Is very little to see snorkeling, I have been snorkeling many times and there was hardly anything to see except the same species of fish over and over again. We could have seen the same thing just snorkeling in front of our hotel.
I do take some responsibility as I should have done some more homework before booking this tour. I booked it because it seemed like a good deal and was pretty affordable, but you get what you pay for. Having been snorkeling all over the world, and having paid for a private boat tour (granted usually much more expensive than this tour was), and this was the worst snorkeling experience I have ever experienced. I should have done more homework and booked a more reputable tour company with more reviews. I was a bit suspicious when I saw the high score, but few reviews for this company, but I didn’t think it was going to be this bad. Also, if you do make the mistake of booking this tour, be warned that if the tide is low the water at the first stop is kind of gros sand dirty with a lot of garbage and seaweed. So bad we almost did not get in. Overall, this was an awful experience, and if it were not for the fact that our guide tried really hard, I would give this tour a 1 star rating and call it a scam.
Be warned! This tour is only for people who have never been anywhere before and who have never snorkeled before. If you are used to a more comfortable, high-end experience DO NOT book this tour! You will almost certainly be disappointed.

宿霧的第三天，我們選擇了這個跳三個島嶼的海上行程；整個接送的過程非常的流暢，而且沒有耽誤太多的時間。正值過年的假期，但是在路上並沒有太多的耽誤。
這是一個八個人的小型旅遊團，船上的空間也非常的寬敞舒適，三個島嶼各有特色，唯一的缺點是早上的環境並沒有整理得太好，不過浮潛的品質還算是優良，只是太多的團體太多的船同時都聚集在同一個浮潛的地點有一點點擁擠。船上的午餐簡單，但是很美味，導遊跟船家都非常的友善，也都把整個行程做到很流暢。很棒的一日遊，也很清楚就了解宿霧所在的海洋環境，非常推薦。
Great staffs and great organization, we enjoyed all three islands. Lunch is well prepared and also tasty. The snorkeling is fantastic even kind of crowded when all the boat tours came together. Wishing less damage to the environment, especially corals and ocean animals.
First visit to Cebu and was thinking of white sandy beaches and turquoise blue water. The tour is small only 8 passengers, very efficient in transportation. Luckily we did not get too much traffic during this coming new year holidays.

I had an amazing time. Jess (driver) and Mae (tour guide) were two exceptional individuals. Jess is a great driver, and Mae’s attitude and her high level of professionalism made this tour worthwhile. She’s a very welcoming person and the passion that she has about her work that made the Philippines that much more beautiful. Even the boat crew were fun. I’m glad I chose this trip. I highly recommend if you’re in Cebu to take advantage of this trip and to request Mae. You won’t be disappointed.

I went to Cebu with my wife, but actually I didn't like water activities before.
But this tour made me change my mind.
The water is really clean and I could feel the nature of the island in Cebu.
My family enjoyed this tour as well.

Although the weather was not that good, the tour itself was awesome! Water was so clear and could see tons of fish swimming in the ocean. I had a relaxing time chilling along the beach as well. Recommended for those who want to get away from the bustle.
