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
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!
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.
Great time! The tour operators were so friendly and nice! The whale sharks were so big and so close! Tumalog Falls is beautiful! The water is so blue and perfect temp to swim in! Highly recommend this tour!
Jimmy was amazing. He really took care of me and my family and we had a great day. The whale shark swimming was surreal
<p>The Whale Shark watching and snorkeling has been the most amazing thing I have ever done, there were so many and you get many photos taken with them, it was a 30 minute dive and just the right amount of time. Everyone was very respectful and it was well organized. The falls was another breath taking view, we had plenty of time to swim, take pictures, and then we went off to lunch to eat good traditional food. The shoe expo was great as well, me being a girl of course I loved all the little details to shopping. Erica was an amazing guide, they were both so friendly, and welcoming, great experience I highly recommend.</p>
