    This was amazing!! What a cool experience to swim with whale sharks and likely millions of sardines! Highly recommend! And bring a go pro for those awesome shots! The boat guide was great in taking sick photos! Our driver Abam was also such a great driver and kept us safe during the long drive to and from Cebu City. This is a must do when visiting!

  • Wilson and Ruby were the best!

    Long but amazing day. Highlight for me was the morning, where you can eat delicious phillipino food in the beach and swim with the whale shark. Also, the falls are stunning, a must! In the afternoon the experience was still good, just not so great since there were no graduated masks, and since I rely on glasses that did impact my turtle and sardine experience. Thumbs up to my guide Cheryl!!

  • Worth every penny and the very early alarm!

    It is a super long day but SO worth it. Serious, once in a life time stuff. The guides and the boat men are all really friendly and helpful. Definitely hire the gopro. You'll want to have the footage to look back on.

  • Awesome day trip from Cebu city

    An exceptional day. The whale sharks were cool but having a boat take us to a few places for snorkeling from Moalboal was awesome. It's a long day but great

  • Loved the turtles and sardines

    Snorkeling next to the giant turtles and thousands of sardines was the best! There is a guide that swims with you and your children and looks after them so well. For usd 12, another diver/swimmer will take underwater photos the whole time. Be prepared with cash to pay for extra services and tips because you will want to! Our driver (Julius) and guide (JayR) were great and very attentive to our small children! The drive is very long and going for tours of the provincial towns, markets and heritage churches a day before then staying closer overnight would have been a nicer way to plan this trip.

  • Not only recommend but would do it again!

    I cannot say enough good things about this tour! Communication from booking to the actual tour was easy and clear. We were picked up from Mactan at 3:30 AM and got to Oslob at 6:30 AM. Our driver, Roylind, was superb! He was quiet, but respectful, and got us to our destination safely. We got to Oslob and met our tour guide, Joy, who explained the itinerary to us and made every part of the excursion flow smoothly. As it was a private tour, we got to swim with the whale sharks without having to wait for hours! I was in awe of the experience. Definitely once in a lifetime. We then visited Tumalog falls and were told we had to ride a motorcycle to reach the area as it is a bit secluded, which cost ₽50 per person. It didn’t take long and the walk to the falls was less than a minute. It was not too busy so we were able to take pictures and videos without a lot of people around. the videos really do not do justice with how majestic this part of nature is! We also got to see monkeys on our way back up the hill from the Tumalog entrance! Bonus! Our trip to Pescador Island got cancelled because of the weather, but we got our refund right then and there. Hassle-free and easy. The Sardine Run was pretty cool. The waters were choppy so it was hard to find the sardines, but our guide, Roman, never stopped looking and he was very patient. He advised us of when and where to dive and took some awesome footage. He also was very calm, which helped me a lot as I am not used to swimming in open waters. We got back to our place in Mactan at around 5:30 PM. It was a long day but worth it and I want to give an extra shout out to our driver, Roylind, who was with us the whole day. He is a hard worker and I wish him all good things in life. I would 100% go with Cebu Tours again.

  • Well worth the long travel

    Meet up at 3:30am then travel for 3 hours to Oslob is a pain, but the tour is really worth it. Our driver Vic was very helpful, and Paula was very accommodating. Definitely try to switch to scuba for 2500 pesos if you have the certification at moalboal as you can get much closer to the sea turtles. The dive shop they took us was very clean and very friendly.

  • WOW AND WOW 🙂 Experience Of A Lifetime!

    Completely satisfied. 10/10. Driver, Melchor, Tour Guide, Lynde at Oslob/Tamalog Falls, and Tour Guide, Rowena, divemaster at Moelboel, were above and beyond helpful making the experience truly memorable. Snorkeling with the whale sharks was exciting and up close thanks to Lynde getting us a good queue number as it's very busy. She then played photographer at Tamalog Falls...next up was divemaster, Rowena, in a mesmerizing experience with the sardine at run at Moelboel as she handled all the videography/photography with my camera. Last, and certainly not least, was Melchor who was so helpful and talkative throughout the long day. He was waiting for me outside my hostel prompt at 330 AM and we stayed ON TIME throughout the day arriving tired, but very happy, back at the hostel in Cebu at 600PM. EXCELLENT!
