Perfectly organized tour – an unforgettable experience
We booked our tour through Stefan – from Bantayan to Cebu with overnight stay. The program included diving with whale sharks and a trip to the falls. Everything was wonderfully organized, smoothly planned and an unforgettable experience. We were completely satisfied and can highly recommend booking through Stefan.

Herzlichen Dank für eure wunderbare Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass euch die Tour mit dem Tauchen zu den Walhaien und dem Ausflug zu den Wasserfällen so gut gefallen hat und alles reibungslos verlaufen ist. Es ist uns immer eine große Freude, solche Erlebnisse für unsere Gäste organisieren zu dürfen. Vielen Dank auch für eure Empfehlung – das bedeutet uns sehr viel. Wir würden uns freuen, euch eines Tages wieder auf Bantayan Island oder bei einer weiteren Tour begrüßen zu dürfen. Alles Gute und sonnige Grüße, Stefan und SYKE Travel & Tours Team

Rip off and NO SEAT BELTS !!
Viator says “from $70aud” it cost $215aud. Car had no seat belts and was not a private car it was a white taxi. No aircon in the back seats and the number plate didn’t match the booking confirmation (yes I asked for photo proof he was our driver) Only upside was the driver was friendly. Side note we organised our own lift on the way back and cost us $80aud with a local taxi
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent transfer booking. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. On the date of your booking, we had an unusually high number of transfer requests, which required us to enlist a driver who is not part of our core team. We understand that this resulted in a vehicle that did not meet our usual standards, and for that, we are truly sorry. Regarding the cost, please note that the price you were quoted includes the ferry tickets, which is a significant part of the total expense. Additionally, the rates for return rides are often lower because drivers returning to Cebu typically offer discounted rates to fill their vehicles. We appreciate your understanding and will take your comments into consideration to improve our service. Should you decide to book with us again, we are committed to ensuring a more seamless and satisfactory experience.

Disappointed & overpriced
The driver was friendly & kind, but vehicle used was a very uncomfortable sedan (Taxi). Cost was twice the amount for a van. I took a van back from Bantayan it was roomy, comfortable, and half the price.
Operator response
We are sorry you had a disappointing experience. About the pricing: Please note that the fare from Hagnaya back to Cebu is usually cheaper since the drivers there just have to drive back to their origin and already have driven to Hagnaya with another passenger. Also your Rate was including the ferry tickets.
