Whaleshark Watching:

Being in the proximity of the gentle giants, the whale sharks, is a mesmerizing experience. You get a chance to swim alongside these massive creatures, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The crystal-clear blue waters against the backdrop of Cebu's picturesque landscape enhances the overall experience.

The activity is relatively accessible even for those who aren't expert swimmers. With the help of life jackets and guides, many can safely interact with the whale sharks.

Kawasan Canyoneering:

Jumping from varying heights, swimming through natural pools, and sliding down natural rock formations makes this a heart-pounding adventure for thrill-seekers.

The canyons, turquoise waters, and rich flora surrounding the area make the journey visually spectacular.

The canyoneering experience culminates at the stunning Kawasan Falls, a multi-layered waterfall known for its azure waters. It's a great place to relax after the adrenaline-filled adventure.

What To Expect

The Whale Shark and Canyoneering tour package will take you to a scenic 2-3 hour ride in going to the town of Oslob, the place where the whale sharks can be found. You will enjoy watching and swimming with the very friendly whale sharks. After the whale shark experience, you will be taken to Tumalog Falls which is only a 10 minute ride from the whale shark briefing area. Canyoneering activity will let you scramble, climb, jump, rappel, and swim through the rugged but scenic cliffs of Badian. It might be tiring but it is really fun and worth it to be done. And also, the endpoint of the Canyoneering Activity is the Kawasan Falls which has a three-stage cascading waterfall and considered as one of the most beautiful falls in the entire Philippines.

Experience of a lifetime! Whale sharks swam within 7m of us which was unreal. The guides for both the whale shark swim and canyoneering were friendly and had great attitudes. If you’re trying to do both of these activities in one day, I highly recommend booking with Lagum Adventure. We stayed in Cebu City, and a driver picked us up and took us around for all activities. Super convenient given whale sharks and Kawasan falls are on the other side of the island from the main city.
One of the best tours I've been on!

I travelled to the Philippines specifically for this tour. Waited outside my hotel like an idiot for an hour and a half and nobody picked me up. What a waste of my time and money. The company also only has WhatsApp numbers that they do not respond to and I have not been able to get in contact with them.
Not to be missed experience

The canyoneering was such an experience. Our guide Albert was very professional and helpful throughout the trip. You cannot visit the Philippines without taking a trip with Lagum Adventures to the Kawasan Falls!

Awesome experience. We paid more to do scuba diving with the whale sharks and it was definitely worth it as there is no wait time. Canyoneering was so fun. It was one of our most memorable tours in the Philippines trip. It was a long car ride and draining activities but definite worth the time and money. Our tour guide was for Kawasan Falls was amazing and helped take so many pictures.
Amazing Cebu!
