Top Cebu Whale Watching

Departures from Cebu City or Mactan are normally between 3 am and 4 am. The journey covers approximately 120 km and takes around 3 hours. Upon arrival in Oslob, we'll begin our whale shark watching activity, where guests will have a chance to snorkel and swim with these gentle giants (around 30–45 minutes). Afterward, guests may enjoy breakfast at their own expense — silog meals for smaller groups, or a boodle fight-style meal for groups of 5 or more — before heading to Badian for canyoneering. We’ll proceed to the Kawasan Falls canyoneering site, where we’ll trek, slide, and cliff-jump through turquoise river pools for approximately 2 to 3 hours. At the starting point, guests may choose to add an optional 850-meter zipline (additional fee), before beginning the descent to the waterfalls. At the end of the trail, a local lunch will be waiting for us at the base camp. Once everyone is ready, we’ll begin our drive back to Cebu City or Mactan, with an expected arrival around 7 pm.

What sets our activity apart is the perfect combination of four top Cebu experiences in one seamless day—from swimming with whale sharks to chasing waterfalls and snorkeling with sardines.

We don’t just bring you to the destinations—we make sure you enjoy every moment safely, comfortably, and with a personal touch. This is not just a tour; it’s an unforgettable Cebu adventure designed for real travelers.
