I was in Cebu for work from late April to Mid-May. I took a one day trip to Oslob and Sumilon. I booked the tour with Southwind Travel and Tours. They pick up at hotel and bring you back. I was the only one on the trip so i had the guide, Rachel and the driver all to myself! They were both awesome.
Cebu to Oslob is about 2.5 hours in the morning. You get there around 7am. Put on the life jacket and away you go. Six tourists to a boat. Two guides. They paddle you out to the Whaleshark feeding area, where a 'feeder' is throwing food over the sides of his canoe. The Whaleshark comes up, opens its huge mouth and inhales. You have stairs off the small boat to ease yourself into the water and you can swim right up to the Whaleshark, you cannot, or SHOULD NOT touch them. You can get pretty close as they just ignore you. It is an impressive creature! Good experience. Great for all ages. But keep in mind, "Whaleshark Tourism" is big business and there can be lots of people, I was lucky on the day i was there, it was only half packed i was told. Still when you look underwater you see scuba divers swimming around along with some pretty colorful fish. The whole experience last about 30 minutes. Water looks like its 30-40 feet deep and you are 50 yards from shore. There can be 10 or so people with you in the water at any given time. No everyone jumps in. You can take off the life jacket if you want.
Then its onto Sumilon Island.
Small Island, ten minute drive from Oslob. There is a small pier with a Tourist station (with bathroom) owned by the Bluewater Resort on Sumilon. Southwind Travel has an agreement with them to use the facilities. Its a 15 minutes boat ride to the Island. Great place. On the south side of the Island you have a sand bar with very gentle waves and very shallow water. Great for all ages. That is where most people hang out. I stayed practically all day on the north side where there is a marine preserve. Very nice snorkeling, lots of very colorful fish (some huge ones and some eel fish too) and sea life, including the odd 2.5 foot shark. The waves can be rough on this side. Lots of bolders, rocks.
The tour included lunch at the Resort. It was a very good buffet I might add. The snorkeling beach has little tiki huts with elevated floors (no sand on your towels!!!!) and hammocks. You spend four hours or so there. Its not too busy, so you can just relax.
Around 1:30 pm we headed home. Took the boat to shore. The ride home was close to 4 hours.
All in all, a very great day trip and I could see myself staying a couple of days at the Bluewater Resort as it looked very nice.

We had a private tour as the larger groups were booked out but this was our highlight of the trip! It was an early start as it was a long drive to our first spot - snorkelling with fish and turtles (we were able to get up close with 1 particular turtle!) and swimming amongst the sardine run (truly one of a kind experience!). We then drove out to Kawasan Falls and water is just so blue! We were allowed to eat and swim here for a few hours before the long drive back home. Thank you to Chen and her driver for making our Cebu trip memorable :)

We took in action quickly as soon as we got to the airport. We arrived in Mactan Airport at 1 am and then we started this tour at 4 am. They picked us up at our hotel and the guide & the driver showed great hospitality. The driver's vision and driving sense was amazing btw!!! The scheme was loosen enough for us to chill and take rest between the tour of Whalesharks and Kawasan Falls. I think half an hour is enough to see whalesharks only and Kawasan Fall is also great to just chill thanks to lifeguard and life jacket, it feels safe to swim around. Unlike breakfast we could choose the local side menus at lunch and foods are pretty great in Philippines. We would like to experience this journey again hopefully soon.

Our family really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide Liezel arrives in time at our hotel. Our party of 5 people was the only group that day, Sunday, so the van and the tour guide became solely for us. Liezel has a real knowledge of the area, its history, politics, even social media and pop culture. The weather that day was nice and has no traffic. We also enjoyed our buffet lunch. We got great pictures of our family at the Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House with the courtesy of an area tour guide who really knows how to gather our group to get great photos of us. We love our visit to that ancestral house and seeing the antique furniture inside it because it gave us nostalgia, reminding us how we once lived when we were young.
In general, this tour for us is unforgettable.

In May 2018, a group of us went to the Philippines on a scuba trip. On one of our days in country, we opted for the Cebu Whale Shark excursion to knock off a bucket list item.
When we arrived, there were so many people there (it was a Sunday), so we got slightly worried about the chaos. However, everything was very well organized and set up. Our wait time was not unreasonable at all, and they had a very systematic program that kept the boats rotating.
Once out on the boat, we were able to hop in the water while the middle boat fed the whale sharks to bring them close to us. We were able to take amazing photos and videos of these incredible creatures. They gave us a full 30 minutes in the water so everyone was able to capture the pictures that they wanted.
I would recommend bringing some soap/shampoo/etc with you for afterwards, as you will smell like dead shrimp. They do have showers available for use.
We were VERY pleased with the set up and execution of Cebu Tours and would recommend this excursion to everyone!

The shrine of Lapulapu is located at Mactan Island. The shrine is well maintained with the convenience of having souvenirs for your folks back home. This is good place for groupies and selfies.

We were very satisfied on arranging a full 2days program really on the last minute. Both private tours were having excellent personnel which they could answer to all questions regarding the tour. Definitely a good choice for those who need accuracy, professionalism and to feel comfortable on the best price compared to the rest offers.

I've got their Day Swing to Bohol tour with friends, it was a blast. We're there for photography project about Bohol and our driver was awesome! I've also got their Canyoneering, and every time I need someone to tour in Cebu I have them join in their joiner tours. Awesome tour guides! Great deals!

I have no complaints about the trip, I just think that having a guide and a driver was overkill and we probably therefore paid over the odds. The guide, lovely and polite as she was, added little to the experience as she actually slept more of the long journey than we did ourselves and didn't interact that much compared to other guides we have had. The driver on the other hand was an absolute star getting us there and back safely and in not too bad a time considering the distance/conditions/traffic.
Unfortunately we couldn't do one of the islands due to rough water but the Sardine run was amazing to see. Wall to wall super shoals of sardines glimmering in the water, topped off with turtles too...and a few jelly fish, nothing too painful though.
I do think they should start restricting numbers better as the area is full of boats coming and going with lots of none swimmers being towed around in the water with no control of their own. It felt a little like an accident waiting to happen.
Kawasan falls is lovely, if a little underwhelming due to the crowds if I'm honest.
Given it's massive build up I was just expecting something else, maybe we should have done the canyoning to get the full experience. The walk along the river to the falls is beautiful, the milky water beautiful too but there are many falls in Phillipines that are as if not more spectacular.
Lunch was included and was plentiful and tasty fried chicken rice veg etc.

Booked this tour through tripadvisor and added an additional person directly through Cebu Trip Tours via email the day before we were due to go. Worked out cheaper direct so worth attempting that route if you can! The 4am start is early but worth it! We were the only 3 people on the tour so it was a luxury to have the air conditioned bus and boat to ourselves. Liezel was our guide and Clifford was our driver. The drive to Moalboal is not for the faint hearted (if Clifford is driving)...the 3 hour journey took Clifford 1.5 hours. After arriving (safely) at Moalboal we had a very short orientation and went out on the boat. To get to the boat you have to wade through shallow sea water for a few minutes. The boat itself is quite small and probably would be a bit of a squeeze for 12 people but with just the three of us it was perfect! First stop was Pescador island for coral reef snorkelling - absolutely stunning. So many colours and fish and the water was crystal clear. We had half an hour here then were onto the sardines run. This just blew us away. The guide on the boat (liezel did not come on the boat with us) found them straight away and there were thousands of them. The water here is very deep and the current is quite strong but life jackets are available. We spent roughly half an hour swimming with the sardines and then got back on the boat for 5 minutes to another part of this island and then got back in the water. We followed the guide again who found a turtle amongst the coral!! We saw three turtles in total and swam with two of them. Just incredible!! They’re so well camouflaged that we probably wouldn’t have spotted them without the guide!
After having another half an hour here we went back to shore and got back in the bus. We drove to Kawasan falls and arrived about 9:40 (thanks to Clifford’s rollercoaster drive). We were also given the option to add on canyoneering for an additional charge. The walk to the falls is about 20 minutes on the flat. The falls weren’t at all busy and there were plenty of tables and life jackets available. If you want to swim under the falls (which we did) you have to rent a life jacket for 50 php. It’s so worth it as swimming behind them was incredible. We stayed here for about an hour then headed back. We then had lunch near the beach which was nice. Lunch was: fried chicken, rice, noodles, spring rolls. All tasty. As it was only the three of us we could decide when we wanted to head back. The drive back took about 2 hours due to traffic and we arrived back around 3pm. All in all a fantastic day out that we’ll never forget.
