  • Whale Sharks great but the rest was poor

    The whale Shark experience itself was amazing. However we discovered when we arrived that the cost of the actual experience was was only PHP500 (US$9.00). The meal was PHP300 (US$6.00) then we were told the waterfall was closed. We paid US$100 per person for this experience and feel we were cheated really. So overall poor value for money

  • Mustn't missed! Once in a life time event!

    It is a value-for-money trip and should be once in the life time event. The sea travel is very well-organized. We have ample time with the whale-shark in a close distance. The boatmen are helpful to have you taking pictures/ videos. There are rental of water-proof camera of pb500. You can also buy water-proof telephone bag for using your own mobile of pb100 to 150. If you want to have a pair of swimming shoes or Tees, there are shops around at reasonable price. The falls are spectacular with a bonus of fish massage. If you worry about the walk to the fall, they provide motor ride for pb50 for a round trip. Though it takes around 3 hours to travel from Cebu to Osbon, it worths!

  • Its a long bumpy ride, but worth it

    The ride to/from Cebu City is a long and bumpy ride and at 6ft tall I had a hard time getting comfortable throughout (I wish the seats had headrests). But in any case getting to swim with whale sharks was amazing, as was the waterfall, which are driver was kind enough to take a ton of great photos. My companion wasn't feeling up to canyoneering so we ended up cutting our tour short but our guides were none the less very understanding and helpful. Recommend using bathrooms before you go.

  • A must do in Cebu!
