“We had an amazing experience and wonderful driver and guides. Well planned day trip, it’s a long day but so worth it!”
Private Cebu day trip to swim with whale sharks, relax on Sumilon sandbar, and cool off at Tumalog and Kawasan Falls with meals.
“It is too much in one day starting at 3:30am, mainly because the roads and logistics are not good. The whale shark and sumilon activity is very busy and the catarats are too far away from there. But the worse was that there is not a decent toilet with running water in any of the locations, really disgusting.”

“We had a great tour guide/driver Clinton! He took us in every single place with his brand new car, which was super comfortable. Stopped for shopping or extra food whenever we asked him! We were so lucky to get him, because he sorted for us very low number in a queue for whales watching, so we didn't have to wait couple of hours. We did a great snorkeling in Sumilon Island and then waterfalls were so fantastic as well. We were impressed how smooth and effectively everything was organised! Excellent communication with office and quick response to all queries. We recommend this 100... no 100000%!!!”

“All around an amazing adventure that I would do again in a heartbeat. It was a 0330 pick up and Obet was our Driver, he was absolutely amazing. (Take snacks and water with you for the drive there and back, it is about 3-4 hour drive). We were not able to do the Canyoneering in Kawasan Falls due to the heavy rains, but still 100% worth the trip. We arrived around 0620 and was greeted by our tour guide Cheryl for the day, she is also amazing and went above and beyond. The whale sharks are cool, I would recommend bring your own mask and snorkel although one is provided…”
