- E2192CJnaomih0 contributionsMixed FeelingsI have mixed feelings. I’ll start with the positive. Our tour guide Jenner was very willing to take photos for us and played great music the entire day in the vehicle. The sites were also mixed. Loved the New Amsterdam gardens and really wish we had more time there. It was very rushed. The Tao temple and temple of Leah felt rushed but we did get to do a quick tour. I like to read stuff about each place and it doesn’t really allow for that type of tourism. Transportation- we paid extra to be picked up at our hotel but we ended the tour right by our hotel so I do feel we were charged a bit much for that convenience (P1,000 for 2). The van was very packed with a full tour of 12. No extra space and boxed in tightly. We sat in the back and it was hot with no AC reaching back there or vents. Thankfully we both had fans. The driver was a bit sketchy at times. I grew up in NY city so navigating traffic isn’t new to me it was more the jostling around and jerking. He would accelerate very quickly then slam on brakes and accelerate again quickly. At times he made it pretty unpleasant. Often I was worried he was going way too fast in areas where there were a lot of children and dogs. So my recommendation would be to bring a fan or sit up close in the front with the AC if you get over heated easily. I could easily have skipped the last half of the tour and been fine the first half is what i personally found most interesting. Safe travels and touring!Written 18 November 2024

- MyraClovis0 contributionsBluRange tour is THE BEST!!!Right from start, BluRange tours piqued my interest because Hannah, the owner, responded right away when I sent a question when I was doing my research for our Cebu trip. Cebu Tours responded 4 days later. From then on, all my questions get answered immediately via email either by Hannah or Geraldine. We had a customized private tour of the city, we had a dedicated driver Wally from day 2 for island hopping, transfer to Oslob, Whale shark, Sumilon Island, Kawasan Falls, Sardine and Turtle run and transfer back to Mactan. I already had a plan and had Blurangetours provide everything from entrance fees, some meals and of course the guides. Hannah is never pushy with my selections of places we wanted to see and activities we wanted to do. When a very bad situation happened to us in an Oslob resort I booked {not thru BluRange), Hannah, without any hesitation, helped me when I reached out to her at 10:30 at night and made the situation almost forgettable and kept me sane. All the guides we had are very kind, respectful and kept us safe. We had Laye, Kenneth, Lara, Marco, Jonathan and Jizrael. All of them went out of their way to help my sister who has difficulty walking and to get back the umbrella left in the van the 1st day. Our driver Wally kept our land travels interesting and made sure we had our meals in good, decent restaurants. I will definitely reach out to Blu Range tours for our future trips. I highly recommend BluRange tours!!Written 16 July 2024
- Maps2558790 contributionsUnforgettable experienceThis was the best part of our trip. The whale shark experience is something we will always remember. This was made even more memorable by the knowledgeable and professional service rendered by Blue Range Cebu Tours. To top it all Lara, our Oslob guide always went far and beyond her guide services to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Oslob. The tourism industry could use a whole lot of Laras!Written 16 July 2024
- purplelady05220 contributionsSuper lit Cebu City group tour! The best!Just went on this Cebu City group tour today with Blu Range Cebu Tours and I swear it's sooo amazing! Met a bunch of cute solo travelers and we had the best time bonding & sharing stories. And the tour itself, it was beyond! We visited so many IG worthy spots in Cebu City, I couldn't even! Twas totally worth it! Will do a tour with these guys tomorrow!Written 31 May 2024
- 1leonl0 contributionsNot to be missed!This canyoneering tour was amazing -- one of the best tour experiences I've ever had! Definitely do not miss this canyoneering experience. My son and I went with Blu Range Cebu after doing their "sardine run" tour and we also booked two-way transfers to Cebu/Mactan airport with them. All of our drivers and tour guides through Blu Range were great. They are local and really know the area. Our canyoneering guide seemed to know everybody, which meant that he had credit with vendors and could track down a ride at a moment's notice. The tour includes a couple transportation links by tricycle or scooter. You may want to bring money for the optional zip line (worth it!) and for vendors along the way. The guide takes great pictures and videos of your canyoneering experience -- better than I would have taken. You'll have the opportunity to jump into deep pools, but will not be pressured to do so. It's amzing just home many natural features are packed into this one canyon. That's the reason this is the most popular route on the island, despite the numerous other waterfalls in Cebu.Written 6 April 2024
- Penshoppe24810 contributionsHighlight of my Holiday in CebuThe adventure was amazing and it was highlight of my holiday in Cebu. The Blu Range tour was very helpful organising my tour in a short notice,Ms Hanna and her staff (Leye) always available to help and answer all questions and provide me with good option, I’m happy to recommend Blu Range tour to anyone .Written 5 March 2024
- gauravtaneja20180 contributionsAmazing experienceMust do if you are in the area - I took a day trip and managed to snorkel. Amazing to see the sea turtles up close, as well as the sardines. Surreal.Written 23 February 2024
- emmjaacee0 contributionsI know it's a novel - but it needed to be said...Blu Range "blew" us away!!!Booking a tour with a local provider on the other side of the world often feals like a leap of faith...BUT from the moment I made contact with Blu Range owner Hannah (she is simply amazing) I was in good hands. From start to finish, as we finalized the custom details of a 4 day and 3 night itinerary I felt supported and reassured both overseas in Canada and in the Philippines. Hannah and her fabulous Team took such great care of us. I told her that we felt like family and it's evident throughout - she wants to ensure you enjoy your stay and that all booked experiences from the first moment you interact with her extended team are living up to your expectation. She ensures that her Team guides you to all the designated locations and are accountable each and every step of the way. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail really shines. On our final day in Cebu - she noticed it was my birthday and as a touching surprise she coordinated the purchase of a small birthday cake at Carbon Market, wrote both of us a personalized note and provided a symbolic souvenir gift as a send-off - what a beautiful touch!! Heartfelt THANK YOUs to Hannah's extended team - we are extrememly grateful. Cyrus, your personal story-telling and knowledge about Cebu made the drives very educational and entertaining, and for getting us everywhere we needed to be on time. Oliver, your superb driving skills and extreme patience made sure that despite mother nature's rainy morning forecast we were able to appreciate Oslob and Moalbal to the fullest. Jorge for maintaining a good pace while giving us as much time as we needed at each site on a full itinerary in Bohol - also your photography skills are on point!! Leye for being so warm and personal with your experiences - the food tour in Cebu city came alive; we ate so well, were stuffed and savoured the uniqueness and richness of the cuisine. One gets a real sense that Hannah's Team also feels equally respectful of her - it's highly encouraging! Don't hesitate booking your experience Blu Range Tours, you certainly won't be disappointed - Hannah, we can't thank YOU enough for making our time in the Visayas EXTRA special and SO very memorable.Written 13 February 2024
- gat628720 contributionsAwesome private tour of sardine runThis was an awesome one on one private snorkel tour of the Moalboal sardine run. It lasts about an hour long, but I got to do exactly what I came to see--the sardines and sea turtles! Jonathan, my guide, made me feel safe as I am not the strongest swimmer. I also had the go pro upgrade and got lasting memories of the tour without having to worry about taking my own photos/videos as Jonathan took care of it all and had it transferred to my phone after the tour. I also found out that the group does other diving adventures as I recently took up scuba. If I'm back in Cebu, I will hit them up again at ABISMO Divers Moalboal.Written 11 February 2024

Such an amazing experience! We swam with whale sharks up close, went snorkelling at Sumilon island with pristine water, fed some monkeys, saw the ruins and a massive church. We had a massive day from Mactan island and were picked up at 1am and we returned home at 6pm due to traffic. But we would not have had this experience without our amazing group of new found friends! Definitely do it if you’re considering! We paid $120 AUD for 17 hours (less than $7AUD/hour) it was well worth the early wakeup

From start to finish this trip was great. They stayed in contact with me via email, as i had no phone reception. Wally's who picked me up and dropped me back to my hotel was friendly, helpful, informative and funny. Our guide once we arrived in Oslob for whale watch, Laura was with us every step of the way. Tagalog falls was closed by the government due to little water but they substituted that with going up to see the monkeys. We did this between getting our ticket number for whale swimming and the actual swim time. This made the wait much shorter. The whale sharks were fantastic although a bit crowded.
After we went to Sumilon Sandbar, where the snorkelling was amazing, even saw Nemo. The food back at the restaurant where we boarded boat for sumilon had great food too.
We saw the oslob ruins and church and lastly Simala Shrine just on dusk which really put the place in a special light.
All packed into one day for a great price.
And to top that off met some great solo travellers along on the same tour.

The tour was incredible! The whale sharks were a spectacle in themselves, there were 4 or 5 sharks and we managed to make the most of them! The rest of the tour was cool too. Sumilon Island is worth it for its beauty, don’t forget to snorkel! The guides are extremely friendly and punctual. I highly recommend the tour!

We absolutely loved our Oslob tour with Blu Range! Even though the pick-up was quite early, it was totally worth it. The tour itself was fantastic. We're especially grateful to their kind driver Wally - I accidentally left my phone in the van, and the driver was honest enough to return it. This marks my third tour with Blu Range Cebu Tours, and their consistent excellence ensures they'll remain my go-to choice for future adventures.

Embarking on this tour was a decision I won't regret, and I usually don't leave reviews, but this experience demanded one. Hannah, the tour operator, was like a guardian angel, consistently checking in to guarantee a seamless journey. Laye, the guide, not only ensured my well-being but also made sure I was not without at any of the destinations, she was an amazing companion. The adventure itself stands out as one of the finest I've ever taken, with every destination offering a treasure trove of worthwhile experiences. Trust me, this is not just a tour; it's a masterpiece waiting to be explored!

The snorkeling experience with the whale sharks is a very different experience. It's very well organized and managed. They let us swim with the fishes for atleast 30 minutes and make sure you bring a GoPro to get good shots of the sharks. We had to rent out but the photos still came out fantastic.
