A perfect experience for anyone seeking adventure while taking in the natural beauty of Cebu. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and truly memorable. Our driver and guides were exceptionally patient, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. During the canyoneering, the guides went above and beyond—carrying our gear, ensuring our safety, and even capturing stunning photos of our experience so we could fully enjoy the moment. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cebu and looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Amazing.

Jeremy_R, Jul 2026

Beyond amazing. Slight miscommunication at the beginning on my part also, but the driver Geronimo quickly made up for it. The most helpful, friendly, and respectful tour I’ve been on yet. Paula sets up perfectly to swim and Ruben was the ultimate guide during the canyoneering. Hospitality and welcoming are unmatched. Can’t wait to return.

Flawless experience despite waking up at 1:30am

Shoutouts to the driver Nataniel i dont know how he's able to drive us to each place in these long hours. As for the experience, at first I was very worried and wasn't sure what to bring or do but the tour guides were very helpful. To pack up for the day, make sure to leave your passport at your hotel somewhere very secure and safe. Ensure to bring: your phone, power bank, wallet with plenty of cash, sunscreen and towel. Wear: t-shirt with swimming trunks and sandles/flipflops/crocs. For the whale shark experience, leave everything in the car (even your phone and wallet)! If you want to film, just rent a GoPro there its very cheap and you can upload it to your phone and pay later after the experience. For the remaining experience, only bring your phone. The tour guides will 100% make sure NOT to drop your phone in the water by mistake, and will take pictures and videos for you! Highly recommended for those who wants to make this a day trip all the way from Cebu city, and will be willing to wake up at 1:30am. Thank you so much again for this flawless and unforgettable experience.

Awesome time!

Gus_C, Mar 2026

Our Oslob whale shark and Kawasan Falls adventure was absolutely worth the early 0200 start. Getting there before the crowds made a huge difference, and seeing the whale sharks up close was incredible—they are massive and truly unforgettable. After that, we headed to Kawasan Falls where the experience just kept getting better. The zip line ride gave us an amazing view, and the canyoneering was easily one of the highlights of the trip. Jumping into the crystal-clear blue water surrounded by beautiful scenery was something I won’t forget anytime soon. What made the day even more special was having extra time, and our driver Jowen went above and beyond by taking us to see the sardine run and even spot sea turtles. That extra effort really made the experience feel complete. Overall, it was an action-packed day full of adventure, incredible sights, and great service. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a mix of excitement and natural beauty.

Amazing canyoneering experience!

Azfar_R, Nov 2025

Amazing canyoneering experience! Very fun!! Could not do the whale experience as it was shutdown. Operators were very caring and friendly by the operation can be improved. The van seats were not comfortable for the long trip. The lunch provided was basic and served cold.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. 😊 We’re very happy to hear that you had an amazing and fun canyoneering experience and that our operators were caring and friendly. We sincerely apologize that the whale shark activity was unavailable due to the bad sea consition suspension, as this was beyond our control. We also truly appreciate your comments regarding the van comfort and the lunch provided. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will use it to further improve our transportation arrangements and meal service for future guests. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience next time
