Thank you Mae! - Mae is absolutely incredible. She was so informative and helpful when organising the day. At one point she even gave another tour member her shoes. Made sure the whole day was completely streamlined and everything just worked perfectly. Mae is a truly amazing tour guide.

A really long day but a great tour. - An amazing experience. Such an early start but that is important as the whale shark area is so busy. We had space in the vans but the roads are very bumpy. We were very lucky to have time in the water with the whale sharks and then Sumilon Island was relaxing and Tumalong waterfall - breathtaking. A well organised tour. With stop at a place to buy lunch on the way home so we could experience lechon. Just a very long day but worth it.

Well organised and friendly tour by Mae! - Our guide Mae was super accomodating, friendly and speaks multiple languages. We felt well taken care of and had lovely conversations. The tour was run smoothly and went according to schedule. Highly recommended and well worth it for a day trip out of Cebu city.

Good and bad - The good - once in Oslob the activities are good. The whale sharks are amazing and you get very close. The waterfall is a good experience and Sumilon Island has beautiful water. The bad - the ride to Oslob in a van with 4 seats across a row is ridiculously small - only suitable for children not adults. The drive is long, the roads are terrible and our driver had a playlist of about 10 songs for the whole 3.5 hours. Once in Oslob the wait can be hours. - spent 3 hours wasted doing nothing. Overall its a good experience once in Oslob. The attractions can get very crowded too. Our guide and driver seemed very unorganised and it did not make our experience enjoyable.
