Visiting the breathtaking Sardine Run off Moalboal's shore of Cebu Island is a must-see for tourists. Many sardines gather around Panagsama Beach, just in front of Savedra Dive Centre, inviting you to witness their incredible schooling behavior and how they react to your presence--all occurring only 30 meters away from the coast! For those not completely confident with swimming, make sure to use a life jacket!

Our private tour includes insurance, so that you can feel safe while exploring this unique underwater phenomenon. Our experienced guide will take care of you and will make sure you get to enjoy this incredible natural spectacle.

You’ll also be provided with snorkeling masks and fins so you get to enjoy an up-close encounter with the sardines.

We highly recommend our Moalboal Sardines Run Private Tour for anyone seeking a unique experience in Cebu.

Super Professional Tour Operator + Amazing Sardine Experience!

Confirm this is one of the best tours we did in Cebu! The sardine run was amazing - lots of sardines swimming around you, super surreal experience. What I really appreciated about Blu Range is how professional they are. When we booked return transfers directly with them outside this app, they even accepted credit card payment - which was such a relief because quite ALL operators we talked to in Cebu only wanted cash. We actually ended up booking a couple more tours with them because they were so reliable! The guide was really patient with my friend who's not so confident in water. He stayed close by and made sure she was comfortable with the life jacket before going deeper. Equipment they provided was clean and good quality. They even had different sizes for the fins and masks, and graded goggles too, so everyone could get a proper fit. Super important when you're in the water! The whole experience quite efficient - they picked us up on time, brought us straight to Panagsama Beach, and gave clear safety briefing. Even showed us how to get good videos of the sardines with our phones in waterproof cases. Tip: Try to go early morning! We went around 7 am and the water was super clear, perfect for seeing the sardines. Also less crowded at that time. If you're in Cebu, must try this! And definitely book with Blu Range - they really know what they're doing. Did several tours with them and all super worth it! 10/10 for sure! 💯

It was amazing, our guide was so cooperative as it was our first time swimming so far in the ocean and he made us feel so comfortable and also clicked some videos with the gopro. we were scared to swim without life jackets so we kept them on but you can always take them out if you are good. We were provided with snorkelling masks and fins. We saw the sardines and also a turtle.

The whole experience was amazing, it was seemless and easy. If you don't want to spend the whole day out this is the perfect activity. I would recommend going early since we may catch some turtles.
Green turtles & Sardines!

The guides are very helpful & really get some great shots with the GoPro. Their service also extended to helping us buy snorkelling gear after my old gear broke. Highly recommended 👌
