Best tour ever

We did the private tour to swim with whale sharks and caynoneering in Kawasan falls and has an absolute blast!! It was one of our day tours ever! Swimming the whale sharks is such an incredible experience and a must do!! Canyoneering in Kawasn fall was incredible!! I was initially a little nervous but our tour guides Roy and Login were super caring and made sure we were looked after and our safety was their first priority!! They took some great photos and videos for us and we were super happy!! Special thanks to Wilson our guide and driver who is an absolute gem!! He is so knowledgeable and informative, very kind and patient person!! We would highly recommend booking with Cebu tours ask for Wilson to be your driver and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!

Will absolutely book Cebu Tours again ~ recommended!!

Absolutely recommend!! So organised and caring. Customer service was absolutely top notch. Recommend booking directly instead of going via agoda or any other website. Will always go to cebu tours for bundles experiences. Pick up and drop off being included in price even though we were 3 hours away in the city is crazy good!! Would never get that in Australia. Ruby and Bobby were the best, made so many memories :) it was also nice to see our tour guides being fun and friendly with canyoneering workers. Felt very taken care of thank you Cebu Tours!!

Great memories

Angelo was our driver, he was prompt and drove from Cebu City to all the destinations. He was friendly and we got to know about him and his family. He got us to where we were going safely. and Edna was our tour guide for tumalog falls and oslob whale watching - thanks to her waiting in line we didn't have to wait so long! (There was no swimming/whale watching 2 days prior to our chosen day - so there were ALOT of people). The ocean was choppy and it was very windy but seeing the whale sharks up close is something that I will forever remember. Tumalog falls was nice - and the ride down was quite an experience ( it was SO steep!) We had a different guide for Kasawan Falls but she was didn't talk much or give any background to certain things about the land - luckily there was another tour guide and her group walking along side us and she was very informative.

Super fun!

Booking this Whale Watching and Alegria Canyoneering was the best activity of our Cebu mini-adventure! The tour operator was very professional and the arrangements and payments were so hassle-free. We started on time and all the drivers and guides made us feel safe and well-taken cared of. Shout out to our guides with the canyoneering, Rudy Lubino and RJ Apacio! The Tumalog Falls is must-see. The waters were icy blue and not your usual waterfall color, reminiscent of glacier lakes. Swimming with the butandings was awesome! Canyoneering was super fun and endorphin-filled! Yep, we’d recommend this to families who love outdoor activities! Thank you Cebutours!

Breathtaking attractions and Stellar service

Our guide, Ruby was warm, understanding and absolutely hospitable. She made us feel comfortable and was engaging..the ecperience with the whaleshark watching was mind blowing as they are such gentle and friendly giants. The scenery at the tumulag falls was breathtaking and worth viewing. It was an absolutely must see attraction. Though the journey was long, our driver drove us safely and ensured all went well.

Incredible and productive day

Our whole tour was amazing! 3am start for a long drive to make the most of the whole day. Kuya Josil was a great tour driver, was super friendly and was very knowledgeable. He was also very patient and really looked out for me, my sister and her partner. Would recommend him 10/10 Whale sharks in the morning was unbelievable. Ate Anna made the whole process so smooth and she was also an amazing tour guide. One of the boat staff helped us take incredible go pro footage and we just gave him a tip. Tumalog Falls was breathtaking, really did not expect it to be one of the highlights of our Philippines tour. Ate Anna really helped us stick with a good schedule so we can do all these activities in just 1 day! We only did half course for Kawasan Falls but it was still incredible - Kuya Glenn was great! We ended the day with Pescador Island, Sardine run at Moalboal and swimming with the turtles at Tonggo point - all in all a very unforgettable day. Thank you

Excellent Tour

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with driver Richmond who made us feel safe and Tour guide Marlita who was very organised and made everything hassle free and very enjoyable. We will be back again and hopefully will get them to take care of us again. Easy and quick to book. Everyone was on time.

Whale shark center - what to do

This is not a review as such, bit more in the nature of an advice. Most people (and websites, guides and write-ups) will tell you to reach the Whale Shark Center in Oslob early so as to avoid the crowds. To my mind, that's a mug's game. When we reached at about 8 AM there was a lot of crowd - in fact the crowd starts to gather there as early as 6 AM. But by 10 AM all the crowd had vanished. There was only a trickle of people, even though it was a weekend. Accordingly, I would advise that you reach there at 10 AM - the big fish would still be there, but the crowds would have gone home by then. They don't allow you in the boat for more than about 30 minutes, and the Centre closes at 11 AM........so you will be fine.

Operator response

Hi, yes this is a good advice.. Thank you for this, but for those who have another activities in the day like the Kawasan falls, or canyoneering or the Moalboal tours, we will still suggest early in the morning. But thanks for the heads up. Appreciate that.
