About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kenichiroh20240 contributionsYou should experience!Whale sharks were so close! The Sumilon Island was so amazing. Depends on the weather but it’s so nice during our visit. :):)Written August 15, 2024
- sahoo900 contributionsA great dayThe sea was so beautiful! We were able to take lots of photos with a GoPro. Even though I don't understand much English, I was able to enjoy myself without worry!Written July 29, 2024
- israeln2170 contributionsBest watersThe most spectacular beaches and waters we’ve ever seen! The boat crew and driver were great. The tour guides were nice but didn’t try too much at conversations. They were mostly on their phones. Overall still greatly positive.Written July 21, 2024
- Trail7668030 contributionsSardine run, turtle watching and waterfalls - Australian review.The trip is split into two parts. The first part was the sardine run and the turtle viewing. The waters are crystal clear and there are SO MANY sardines present. I thought we would have to go far from the shore but it’s more like a drop off close to the shore which is very nice. We also saw some barracuda, jelly fish, lots of other colourful fish and a turtle!! He was so cute. There is a good amount of time to swim and the guide was fantastic. You can hire flippers also for 150p so you can swim further down which was helpful. The second part was the falls. They are BEAUTIFUL! You can swim under them and they provide life jackets for such. The photos we took here are really nice. Definitely recommend bringing your own snacks and lunch for the day however the tour guide did stop at the 7/11 for us which was awesome! They also have a GoPro that you can borrow and they will upload all the photos and videos for you to your phone before you leave. Definitely recommend. :)Written July 3, 2024

I was able to see whale sharks and sea turtles up close. When we went there ourselves, the Guides took us to places we weren't sure about the system, and we enjoyed it with peace of mind. The driver was also quick to drive us to our destination, which was comfortable.

Whale shark
He was cute. I couldn't swim, I couldn't leave the ship's outrider because there were so many waves.
I couldn't go out to sea like the others. But if I can go again next time, I want to brave it. The sardine tunnel in the afternoon was cancelled due to poor weather, so I will go see it again next time.

The Guide was kind and courteous and satisfied. Whale sharks and sea turtles came surprisingly close to me, giving me a dream-like experience I couldn't have in Japan.

The whole trip was fantastic, thanks to our trip_ Geid and the driver.
We went (May) early to Oslob to see fantastic whales and then to Malbar to swim and snorkel in the beautiful surroundings.

The trip starts in the middle of the night. Farrah, our guide, and Anton, our driver, picked me up on time. We (a small group of 5 people) were at the Sardine Run and the turtles at sunrise. The experience was great, afterward Farrah provided us with beach towels and drinking water. She always looked after our valuables and took very good care of us. The GoPro provided takes excellent pictures and videos.
We then went whale shark watching. There we had to wait a whole 2 hours, but were rewarded for it. It is a unique experience to swim with the whale shark.
The return journey takes a long time, but the trip is worth every minute. Lunch at Choobi Choobi was super delicious (not included in the tour).

It was a wonderful experience.
I was so impressed to see the whale sharks and sea turtles up close! The sardine tornado was also fantastic!
The guide and driver were very kind and friendly, and they took lots of photos and videos for me, which made for a wonderful memory.
It was early in the morning and the distance was long, but I'm glad I went.
