OSLOB WHALE SHARK ENCOUNTER SHARED TOUR BOOKING NO: 774491411 I had bought this tour from Cebu Trip Tours, which according to their website was with the possibility of cancellation and on February 13, 2020 I requested the cancellation. They replied that in 20-30 working day they would make the refund, but to date, it has not been made. I have been sending several emails, at first with a response apologizing and begging me to be patient that the refund would be made. More than 6 months have passed, they still do not refund the tour and now they do not even respond to my emails.…

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.…

You can swim with the whale sharks if you wish or stay on the boat for the elderly tourists. Either way it`s well worth a visit if you are in Cebu. It was quite a long trip to Kawasan Falls and we had to walk a long uphill route to get there from the road. But it was worth the effort just to experience the beauty of this place.…

Review of: Cebu City and Mactan Coach Bus Tour
Not really a interesting place to go. It depicts the battle of Mactan with Magellan. Eateries around there, nothing special. small souvenir market on the square. Slums around that place.AirBnB nearby with nothing special neither.

Wonderful opportunity to see the whalesharks up close. You get approximately 30 minutes in the water with the whalesharks moving back and forth in front of you eating. Expect to get kicked by a few other snorkelers. Kawasan falls are nice but nothing too remarkable. Recommendations for those considering this tour: It's a long day with a departure time of 3 a.m. If you are a solo traveler (like me), you will need to buy two tickets...which is understandable considering I was the only one on the tour...ended up being a private tour. Watershoes and underwater go pro (for those comfortable with free diving) are recommended for Oslob. I suggest keeping the time in Kawasan falls to just 40 min (excluding lunch) and requesting to visit Simala shrine on the way back to Cebu. This shrine looks like something out of Disney world and is worth a visit on your return. I was charged $10 to add this stop to the itinerary. Even with the stop at the Simala shrine, I was back at my hotel in Cebu by 2 p.m.…
