Best thing I did while in... - Best thing I did while in the Philippines! I'll definitely come back! I kinda wish I did the ziplining at the beginning of the tour to get to the river but other than that it was a perfect experience!

The best you could ask for. - This is the best out of 3 tours we took in the Philippines.
Everyone involved: driver (on time), Oslob guide, 8 Badian Canyoneering guides (the best). This company made sure everything worked like clockwork. They made sure we had tons of pictures, videos and we are unscathed and safe.
Note: TIP your guides! They literally keep you alive. It was raining and slippery, the guides literally held our hands to ensure we don't slip. Their main concern was our safety while having fun.
We highly highly highly recommend this company.

Best excursion to do from Cebu - All very well organized and very comfortable by car being 4 in a 7 seater car for the whole trip.
The bath with whale sharks was amazing and the canyoning amazing with 1 guide per person. In our case Joren and Jay Boy accompanied us all the way with jokes and taking spectacular photos from our personal phone.

This along with the Kawasan Falls make for a perfect day out… - Great service, punctual and very informative. Making it very easy to keep us up to date with what is going on /changing. Whale Sharks are a must see, I don’t think there would be many other places around the world where you can swim along with them at this price. Literally right beside you in the water…

Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls was an unforgettable time - The whale shark experience was alright. We were picked up at our hotel at 2am and drove two hours to the location. However, the experience itself did not start until 5am. The area was very crowded and unorganized. The bathrooms were also horrendous. Probably would not go back.
If you are still reading this, please pay attention to the following: Our day completely turned around when we went to Kawasan Falls with McRich Canyoneering. We had a group of 8 people and a total of 6 tour guides (Gimuel, Reven, Joel, Jay, Jerome, and Jhong). We could not recommend them enough for how amazing they were. They took great care of our elderly by ensuring their safety through the canyons, and also hung out with the young folks taking hundreds of pictures and influencer videos for us. The lunch afterwards was delicious after a long day of canyoneering (it took us about 5 hours from start to finish). We would 100% come back to Cebu just to visit them. They treated us like family and made sure we had a great time. They deserve an excellent tip for all of their hard work and going above and beyond for us. The day definitely ended way better than it started!
