Must do tour whale sharks, waterfalls, sandbar swimming, great food from Cebu

Reggie was our tour guide excellent driver and not a bad singer. Very informative made us very welcomed and relaxed for a long day tour. Maristel was our guide for breakfast, swimming with the whale sharks at Oslob Kawasan Falls, Sumilon Island Sand Bar and lunch. She was really great friendly host. Swimming with the whale sharks was just incredible they are huge majestic creatures. (Only side note is that the whale shark provider company did not advise of the bitey microscopic jelly fish which we were severely bitten and ended up with a major skin reaction). Kawasan Falls and the Semilon sandbar were well worth the visit and great swimming. Final host was Sonny at the Tumalog Falls very different to the first falls. Sonny was very friendly and charismatic. The entire tour was well worth the early start

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that Reggie, Maristel, and Sonny helped make your day memorable. Reggie will be delighted to know that his driving, local knowledge, and even his singing added to the experience! We're also happy that Maristel provided friendly and attentive assistance throughout your whale shark, Sumilon Sandbar, Kawasan Falls, and lunch experience, and that Sonny's warm and charismatic personality made your visit to Tumalog Falls even more enjoyable. Swimming with the whale sharks is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we're glad you had the opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures up close. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the sea lice (microscopic jellyfish) encountered during the activity. We understand how uncomfortable that experience must have been and will share your comments with our local partners to help improve guest awareness and preparation. Thank you again for choosing Cebu Tours PH. We're delighted that the entire tour was worth the early start, and we hope to welcome you back for another amazing Cebu adventure in the future!

Great tours, the sand bar was a little disappointing from the advertised pictures, but it s was still fun!

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you still had fun on the tour. We understand that the sandbar’s appearance can vary depending on tides and weather conditions, which sometimes makes it look different from photos. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again on another great adventure!

Worth the visit💯

Simar did a great job as our driver. He was very professional. Thea did well too for guiding us until the end of her role. My husband and I got amazed of our first whale shark experience. We were also happy for the assistance of our jolly tour guide in Kawasan Falls. He always made us safe while we were enjoying our swim.

Amazing tour

We had an incredible experience on the tour from Cebu! Frank, our driver, was not only punctual but arrived early and patiently waited for us. Skipping the two-hour queue for the shark whales was a huge time-saver, allowing us to maximize our adventure. The breakfast stop and visits to the sandbar and waterfalls were breathtaking. Maristel, our tour guide, was simply amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and charming. The team’s coordination and service were top-notch, making our experience even more memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour without any reservations.
