What travelers are saying
- jadiesmithxPoulton Le Fylde, UK2 contributionsSo I don’t usually write reviews but the experience and customer service we received was exceptional. We are currently on our honeymoon and have travelled with our toddler who is 1 year and 11 months.
The tour itself was stunning and an unforgettable experience, everything flowed smoothly and taken care of and all we had to do was have fun and make memories.
However, it was our driver & tour guides who made this tour a truly unforgettable experience. Our driver Abam was so polite, respectful, and truly kind hearted, we thank you for his efforts. Our tour guide in Oslob was Saicy (apologies if I spelt this wrong) and she went above and beyond for us and we are truly grateful. She looked after our little boy for us so we could enjoy the whale shark diving together (something we thought we couldn’t do due to our toddler) so we are truly grateful for this. Our tour guide in Kawasan falls was so friendly, kind and helpful, apologies I forgot his name! But he took the most stunning photos of us as a family at the falls which happen to be one of my favourites of all time.
These 3 people made our trip unforgettable and you are a real asset to the Cebu Tours team. I already cannot wait to come back to book another tour! I will be recommending this company to anyone who looks to book a tour!Written December 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The canyoneering at Kawasan Falls was pure adrenaline, with breathtaking jumps, turquoise waters, and stunning cascades at every turn. This combo is a must-do for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike!Written January 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Deee A1 contributionWe had an amazing time on the trip and are already looking forward to our next adventure with your company. We truly appreciate the seamless booking process and the fantastic tour experience.
Thanks again!Written December 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Timothy Y13 contributionsExcellent day spent with Abam as my tour guide. First, pickup promptly at 4:00 am in Cebu Coty to Oslob for Whale Shark snorkeling. We arrived and Glaiza took over. Top notch service and priority booking all the way. The mango shakes were perfect. The whale shark snorkeling was outstanding.
Next stop was Kawasan Falls as Tumilon Falls was experiencing drought. The drive around the south end of Cebu was absolutely beautiful. On arrival to Kawasan Falls, Christine took over. A nice 15 minute walk to level 1 of the Kawasan Falls. Great conversation and upon arrival, the Kawasan Falls were rolling nicely. Swimming in the falls area was fabulous!! The drive from Kawasan Falls to Cebu City was nice. Abam knew a few shortcuts to beat traffic. All in all, one of the most memorable days of my 63 years in life!!

Swimming with the sardines and seeing the turtles was cool. By far the highlight was canyoneering at Kawasan Falls. The guides were great and it was a lot of fun.Written November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Breanna T11 contributionsCanyoneering
We had a great time! Gim and John made sure we had the most fun and were so high energy! The guys were so funny and seemed to have just as much fun as us and the footage shows it!
John helped my friend with extra assistance to avoid tripping/ slipping whilst Gim captured the whole adventure in my insta 360 camera! He captured better footage than I would have been able to myself and through all the rock slides etc kept the camera safe at all times protecting it with his life! John also brought my phone with us safe in a dry bag and took some awesome photos at Kawasan falls for us too!
Snorkeling- turtles/ sardine run
The guys made sure we had a great time on our private tour. We weren’t rushed and took things at our own pace and they stayed incredibly patient with us. They did an awesome job helping us get some turtle shots on my camera and pushing my friend under to get some turtle selfies as she was struggling to do so herself. We had the best time! They also captured some incredible sardine footage for us with us swimming through the sardines which looked totally insane!
Awesome experience definitely recommended
Thanks to Mcrich for making the best day!Written November 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Shannon BSan Francisco, CA15 contributionsThis ended up being a private tour. The price was high, about 2x what I could have paid if I'd booked it after arriving in Cebu, but I think it was 100% worth it. I was happy to have the security of a plan, the guides I had were incredible, and I had private transport to and from Moalboal (which was especially wonderful at the end of the day when I was beat).
This experience was overall magical. The whale sharks were majestic and the canyoneering was so much fun (though MUCH harder and longer than I anticipated... more on that below).
An overview, with some details to help you enjoy your experience:
Whale Sharks:
1. They provided me with 2 (thin) towels, which was really nice. I do wish I'd brought a sarong or some kind of wrap though.
2. Upon arrival in Oslob at the Whale Shark Facility: you'll meet your guide and they'll check you in, get your group number (like at the DMV), and you'll watch a quick safety presentation. Note you can't wear any lotions, sunscreens, etc. while you're in the water with the whale sharks. After that, my guide took me back up the street to a little restaurant where I had a delicious light breakfast (see photo). By the time I finished eating, we went back to the Whale Shark facility and it was pretty much time for me to get in the boat.
3. Lifejackets are required while you're on the boat heading to the whale shark area, but not once you're in the water. They have masks on the boat - but I wish I had asked for a snorkel. Or, even better, bring your own. If you have free diving experience, you might even want to bring your own fins.
4. I was solo, and had been told that the workers on the boat would help me with photos but that didn't happen. Once you get out there, there's no signal really, you can just get in the water. Most people on my boat actually didn't get in to the water, which surprised me. I spent nearly 30 minutes, with whale sharks coming within 2 feet of me! It was really hard to get a nice selfie with them, so if you're solo maybe try to find a buddy? I also wish I'd brought a gopro instead of just my phone in a waterproof bag. I got ok quality pics/videos but I know it could have been better.
5. You can rinse off after, then we went back to the same little restaurant for a very early lunch. Note that this was in the back of a lorry, instead of in the car. It made for a little bit more adventure. :) Lunch was SO MUCH food, and all of it was delicious (see photo). The chicken adobo, soup, and sesame noodles were lovely. It broke my heart to see all the dogs around, begging for food. If you're a sucker like I am, you might end up feeding them.
Sandbar
6. After lunch, the guide will walk you over to the "port" for the boats that take you out to the sandbar. To be honest, I could have skipped this whole part. It didn't add much, and I only ended up spending about 30 minutes out there. It was nice to have a chance to buy a beer and a snack from the shop, and I enjoyed my beer in the water. But we left whenever I was ready.
7. At this point, we left the guide to drive about an hour back north to the starting point for the Kawasan Canyoneering. I wish I'd rinsed more before that drive.
Canyoneering
8. When you get out of the car, that's the last you'll see of your stuff so really think about what you might want to bring with you on the canyoneering (though you have to carry everything you bring). I wore a sunshirt and some swim shorts over my swimsuit. To be honest, I wish I'd worn something longer on my legs because I had TERRIBLE chafing at the end of the day. The life vest you have to wear has straps that hang between your legs and they chafed me badly. I brought Keens, which were good but I kinda wished I had some ankle support. I think they'll provide water shoes if you don't have any. I was glad to have my phone in a waterproof pouch - but make sure your phone is fully charged! I was at 30% and ended up having to conserve photos and videos. I also wish I'd brought some cash for some of the shops along the way.
9. Expect to ride up to the start on the back of a motorbike. It was a driver, my canyon guide, and then me all on one bike. lol.
10. You'll be given an "option" at this point to either walk 2k to the start or pay another 600 pesos to take the zipline. You can pay for the zipline later if you forgot cash, like I did. You'll want to do the zipline, unless you're really afraid of heights. It went much slower than I expected, and was super fun.
11. The canyoneering is tough - a great mix of floating, jumping, rock climbing, wading, and hiking. There will be rocks under the water where you least expect them. But it's a beautiful landscape, and my guide was really helpful holding my hand where I was unsteady and taking about 5 million pictures/videos of me.
12. Overall, it did take about 3 hours and we covered about 5 kilometers. I was BEAT at the end. There wasn't a place to shower but I did change out of my wet clothes (bring a plastic bag to store them in). Then the driver met me and brought me back to my hotel.
TL;DR:
I'm guessing there's not much difference in the experience you'll get from different guide groups/tours online. If you're cost sensitive, you can book once you arrive in Cebu/Moalboal. Be clear about what food/shower access you'll have with your guide operator. Skip the sandbar unless you're really into it. It's a LONG day, but so worth it.Written November 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We hiked, jumped off small cliffs, slid down rocks and walked through freshwater lagoon-like spots. Not to mention playing in the few falls all in this one place. Truly a dream experience, just make sure to stretch well before you start.Written May 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gene T9 contributionsTwo rather dichotomous views of the experience. Let’s start with the good.
The whale shark swim is so special. These creatures are amazing up close. And we were really lucky that day - about 7-8 were in the area. Apparently, on some day in November, they only had one whale shark!
The swim at Kawasan Falls is also very refreshing! The water was chillingly wonderful! We enjoyed swimming against the current and floating in the cool water on a hot day. Guide her is really helpful and warm. Driver was fast, experienced and safe
Now the bad.
The travelling time is long. The waiting time for whale shark is long (in spite of us leaving at 3am from Cebu). The return trip was super long (5 hours including jam from Kawasan to Cebu city). Driver Elizer made it better with his entertaining stories and patient nature.
It will be better to pair your whale shark visit with a visit to the Tumalog falls because that means you are not stuck in that little “street” waiting indeterminately for your number to be called. We were there at 6. We queued for the number and got the number and briefing by 6.45am. Only at 8.45am were we asked to go and get the life jackets for the outing. Bring your own snorkel if you think a snorkel is useful. They only provide life jackets and masks.
Overall the two experiences are really nice, but the logistics and unknowns make this either a really enjoyable trip or one that is rather draining.Written December 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pino m1 contributionAmazing experience! The team was super knowledgeable, made us feel safe, and showed a real respect for the whale sharks and their habitat. They also were able to accomodate a visit to Sumilon Sandbar on the fly. highly recommend!Written November 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
