5.00Our tour of Cebu with Edna and Richard was absolutely outstanding. The day was incredibly action-packed yet impressively well organized, even over 16+ hours. From the unforgettable whale shark encounter to the sardine run, Tumalog Falls, and Pescador Island, everything flowed seamlessly. Edna was super helpful, especially during the first portion of the trip, making logistics effortless and keeping us informed, comfortable, and on schedule. Richard’s driving was fantastic—safe, smooth, and confident throughout a very long day on the road. Their teamwork truly made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this tour and this amazing duo!
Fantastic experiences but a very long day

4.00Amazing to experience whale sharks so close. Fantastic experience. The waterfalls were beautiful and my feet benefited from the pedicure. Swimming with sardines was great too. If we had the time in the Philippines these experiences would have been better split into two days (hence 4* instead of 5), but we only had the one.
Unbelievably humbling experience

5.00Experience was all around great! Our guide, Lindy, in Oslob was fantastic and excellent with my kids. She was super helpful and all around perfect! In Moalboal it was more difficult but still a lot of fun. We didn’t have a guide meet us off our transfer and had to figure things out on our own. Our boat guide didn’t understand much English but was still helpful and took lots of our pictures for us. Pescador Island was less than impressive and snorkeling that only brought us a few fish. The sardine run was a life experience we will never forget but the sea turtle experience was not great. There was one turtle near the shore and about 50 people surrounding it and it could t swim away. Still, would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to check off some bucket list items!

5.00If you’re wondering if you should book this tour, this is your sign!!! My partner and our friends had the best time. We saw multiple whale sharks in very close proximity and it was a breathtaking sight. We also swam with sardines and 2 turtles, and our boat kuyas made sure everyone got epic underwater pics. Our guide Glaiza was so sharp and took THE MOST AMAZING pictures of our group at the waterfall. The drive IS long so kudos to our driver Raffi for safely getting us around. I would recommend bringing 2 pairs of swimsuits (change before the drive from Oslob to Malboal), a neck pillow (if you plan on napping), toiletries (shampoo, soap, brush for the last shower before the ride home), and an extra set of clothes. GoPro photography is extra cost but sooooo worth it!
Go see the Whale Sharks

5.00Incredible to see the whale sharks and swim with them. Waterfalls incredible and the island with white sand beach beautiful! Weather prevented going to Pescadore unfortunately.
LONG day, but so worth it!

5.00This is an amazing way to experience what Cebu has to offer, however do keep in mind this is a very long day! I recommend to bring extra towels, change of clothes, sandals, a GoPro and long sleeve rashguard (you can purchase all of these at the vendors if you don't have, though.) We were picked up at 3:00 am in the morning, and began our 3 hour drive to Oslob. The first activity was visiting the sand bar, and then it was the whale shark snorkeling. The people there briefed us and told us we are not able to use sunblock/sunscreen as it could hurt the whale and the corals (hence the long sleeve rashguard). After the whale shark, it was a waterfall viewing. You can go in the waterfall if you wish, but be careful because it's very slippery! After the waterfall it is a lunch break, and then it is another 2 hours drive to the next spot. The sardine and turtle experience is magical and i will absolutely remember it for life. They provide life jackets for everyone, but I would still recommend knowing how to swim before you enter the ocean. The drive back to the hotel took another 4 hours, so you definitely want to change into dry clothes instead of being wet and damp in the car that long! Our driver was Melchor and he was a great person. The best part of this was Chris, the tour guide for the sardine/turtle snorkeling portion. He was basically Aquaman that could breathe underwater, and he got a ton of great video footage for us, and even gave us tips on how to free dive. Overall, it's an amazing tour, but you definitely need a lot of energy and stamina to enjoy it. Bring change of clothes and
