Signed up with Cyan to do the most popular canyoneering tour. If you're looking for something adventurous and to see some of the most stunning views with great service then I highly recommend this trip.
I choose Cyan because they offered pick up and drop off service from Cebu City so it let me save time, money, and headache from trying to figure out how to get to Moalboal. Because we arrived early they offered to let me go snorkeling with the sardines and amazing plus that I wasn't expecting to do.
The tour itself was amazing and breathtaking, it was everything I dreamed of, they provide all the equipment to include wetsuit and water shoes both which I highly recommend using. They also take pictures and videos for free which was awesome considering I was a solo traveler.
A huge part that really made the trip such a blast were the guides and all the staff at Cyan. They were all very kind and friendly and I always felt safe during our excursion.
I highly recommend booking with Cyan if you want to do canoyneering!

Great day. Guided and staff were great. Great kit supplied by the team.
Fantastic day they took loads of photos which unfortunately I am still waiting for. So please send them.
The jumps are great fun so I recommend you do them all as you probably will never go back again.
It does get a bit crowded with the other tours but it is an absolute must and everyone has great fun.
We were supplied with light refreshments during the day which were very tasty and eco friendly.

Absolutely fantastic; could not ask for me. Everything was well planned and organised, with health and safety being taken seriously, but not to the point that it spoiled the fun. We had a challenging attendee on our trip who the guides deal with professionally and with good humour. My only issue was that, only after being picked up and taken to their central office was I presented with a mandatory disclaimer to sign, which included signing away my right to any recourse against them should anything happen to me, even where caused by their gross negligence. I found that pretty outrageous. My objection was met with a shrug and a smile; I had no choice. Ultimately, while there were cheaper operators around, but I would personally recommended spending the small amount of money on this professional outfit.

We did the canyoneering adventure with these guys and it was truly an experience that was safe and fun for us - all thanks to the group and efforts of the Cyan team. I can attest being witness to the group in that each step we took was guided and with care. Not a scratch an any of us, the only thing we left with were the memories of the experience which was surreal. Thanks to Michael and Mary for giving us the experience and the high from the trip! This was my second time around - you can bet I will be back for more and without a doubt and even with multiple tour groups in the area - i will consider no one else other than the Cyan group. Thank you.

The service at this place is amazing. Honest and very friendly. Found on a website a good deal to rent a scooter for 5 days for 3000 pesos. When I arrived there they told me it was 4000 php, so I referred them to the website and they corrected the mistake, so I got it for 3000 php anyway. After 2 days the scooters left brake broke, so I went back and got another scooter without any problems at all. Unlucky as I am I got a flat tire the next day, went back and got another one without any problems again. They even offered me to pay for the gas to fill it up, since the scooter that I returned had been filled up by me and the one I got was practically empty. Filled it, got the receipt, got the money back. Again without a hassle and always with a smile. Amazing service and felt very personal. Would recommend any time.

It was an amazing day with the best guides Helmer and Narry! We really enjoyed the adventure in the Canyon! It was helpful to have high quality neos and aquashoes. We saw other groups who were just wearing life jackets. Even if you are afraid of heights, you‘ll jump the last cliff! Go for it!

Thank you for the excellent review.
By the way ... All our aqua shoes have a special non-slip felt sole.
This way you have grip even on the slippery stones.
Avoiding accidents in the first place is the best safety measurement.

We booked the Sardine run and the canyoneering tour with Cyan Adventures. I was a bit worried as my parents in their 60s were coming along. From email communication prior to arriving, they provided excellent customer service being prompt in responding and assuring me the safety and anything we dont want to do, we dont have to do.
Because we were staying in Mactan, Boy came to pick us up on time at 3:30am. He drove safely for 2.5 hours to Moalboal. We arrived at the shop at 6am ready to go snorkel with millions of sardines with Jane. She made sure my parents were getting comfortable in the water, and she also took some awesome pictures of us with the sardines. She even made a copy of the pictures onto my SD card immediately after we came back to the shop.
Once we were back at the shop, we geared up for the canyoneering. Hop onto the Jeepny for a ride to the starting point about 45 min ride. It was a bumpy ride, but i enjoyed the opportunity to experience jeepny ride. I was a bit worried about canyoneering after reading some posts on the internet about the danger, but Cyan’s main concern is safety. And this becomes very obvious. Cyan requires us to wear a long wetsuit, life jacket, helmet, anti-slid booties, and butt cover. We saw other tour groups barely covered, wearing flip flops, and bikini bottoms. You are going thru many narrow slippery paths, one slip and your could hit your knee or scrape your leg. You could have serious injury that could’ve been prevented because of Cyan’s precaution. One of the girls in our group actually fell and hit her knee on a rock, but because of the long wetsuit, she only had a bruise and nothing serious.
Our group was led by Jay and his partner. They were very friendly, professional, funny, and always made sure we were all ok and safe. They both gave extra attention to my parents and guided them thru slippery areas. I am proud they did most of the jumps and kept up with the rest of the group. They also took some awesome pictures and video. We all encouraged each other to make the jumps and looked out for each other.
During the break, they gave us some tasty Filipino snacks, and when we reached the final destination, they took us to a nice restaurant by the ocean and ate some delicious Filipino food and beer. Everybody was so hungry after 5-6 hours of canyoneering and that cold beer tasted so good.
Ride back to the shop in jeepny again, and we were able to take shower back at the shop. Then 3-hr ride back to Mactan by trusted driver Boy. We had a long day, but it was absolutely worth it. Such a unique experience and Cyan provided that with utmost professionalism and safety in mind.
If you are considering going to canyoneering in Moalboal, please book with Cyan. I dont think their prices are any higher than competitors, but because they put safety first, it’s worth the extra $10 for you not to get hurt and have to go to an emergency room and ruin the rest of your vacation. On top of that, the pictures and videos were available on their website 2 days after the tour. You will not regret your decision to book your next tour with Cyan Adventures.

Truly epic...from the pick-up to the guide (Awesome Mr. Jay!) to the briefing to the walk and the iconic jumps leading to breathtaking (literally!) Kawasan Falls and lunch! It's like living a choose-your-own adventure book where safety is always a priority every step of the way. I highly recommend Jay and Cyan Adventures!

Hello Martha, updated prices you find always on our website. Jumping is the fun part in the canyoneering. With our equipment and the help from our guides, nearly all guests overcome their fear of heights and are afterward proud of themselves. If you prefer more easy we recommend to do our Cebu South waterfall tour. No jumping there and amazing waterfalls and easy short hikes to the falls.

Our canyoning starts at 9am and finishes around 4 to 5pm.
For your question: Yes, that is possible. We also offer VIP tours where customers can choose other start time. In combination with choosing a slightly shorter route in the canyon, skipping lunch and not taking longer rests during the tour being back in Moalboal at around 12 should be possible.

I'd love to do the whale shark and canyoneering tour with my 11-year old. Is this possible?
OwnerFreeCyan
Cebu Island, Philippines67 contributions
Yes, you can.
The minimum age for Kawasan canyoning is 10 years.
We also have kids sizes for the shoes and for the wetsuits so he is perfectly equipped and does not get cold.

Is the trip available on December? If that so, how different compare to the peak season like March or April.
OwnerFreeCyan
Cebu Island, Philippines67 contributions
Hello Yuttana,
we have all Cyan Adventures year round and every day.
If you mean the weather then there is not much difference from December compared to March or April.
December which is considered rainy season has Amihan winds which come from NE.
So December has more rain on the east side of Cebu but less on the West where Moalboal and Cyan is located.
If you mean the amount of travelers then you have to know that December can be already same amount of guests like in March or April.
Many European and US travelers leave short before Christmas to escape the winter at home.
Feel free to email us if you have more questions.
Kind regards,
Wolfgang

Yes, we have to confirm that for Canyoning or our 3 Waterfall tour 5 years is too young.
But we also have Sardine Snorkeling and a Whaleshark experience tour which are ok for 5 years old.
No swimming skills are required since we use life vests for all tours and also the Snorkeling and Whaleshark tour.
