Unforgettable experience - Amazing experience. Friendly staff, easy communication and overall a great experience. Our driver Ambam made sure to get us from point to point with no issues. Very good driving, we felt safe the entire time and he even gave us some tips and recommendations. Also made a bit of time for us to make a pit stop which was greatly appreciated. Michelle was also truly amazing. She made sure we were comfortable the entire time and made sure to get us to the front of the line when possible to make sure we got the most out of our time there. She was great and very friendly! It is a full day experience but swimming with the whale sharks is amazing and something that is truly unforgettable. Thank you Ambam and Michelle for the amazing experience!!

Excellent service from the team - They offered pick up and drop off service. Melchor was our driver for the entire trip and he was excellent. He charged my phone, made a small stop or two along the way for us. Once we got to Oslob, we had a wonderful young lady ushered us along our journey to make sure we were going to the right places, holding our bags, taking our pictures and doing everything she could to make the trip smooth.

Amazing Experience - The excursions were well planned and organised. We travelled as a group of 10 including 1 younger child and several teens. Everyone one of us had an amazing time, the Whale Shark experience was unreal. Everyone we met was lovely and helpful, from our driver, to the boat drivers, the catering assistants but especially our tour guide Ruby who was so lovely, giving us the info we needed but also guarding our belongings throughout the day. Every aspect was brilliant, Whale Sharks, sardine run and snorkelling with the turtles. Can cannot recommend this excursion enough.

A great way to see a lot in a day! Amazing team - Traveling solo in Cebu for 5 days so wanted to see as much as possible. This trip was a 16 hr day with 4 main stops, food, plus pickup.. no brainer! My driver Wilson picked me up bright and early in and was great to talk with on the ride. My tour guide was super helpful and attentive, my boat crews made sure I got great videos and had a good experience, 10/10 customer service from everyone. My favorite part though was that I literally just had to show up, the team took care of everything else; and the experience was exactly what I had hoped for.

Great experience - bring your underwater camera - I booked a solo tour- I was unable to book a shared tour (still waiting on the refund from cebutours.ph for that one). My driver, Angelo, showed up earlier than the appointed time for the tour and was ready to go. Angelo got me where I needed to go all day long without any issues and easily pointed me in any direction I needed to go. I'd say his English level was adequate, as I had no issues communicating with him. Thanks again, Angelo. I first arrived at Oslob to get my spot in the que for the whale shark experience with the help of Yancy, my guide for the area. Yancy spoke fluent English and was a ray of sunshine all morning. She knew exactly how to help her guests get the most out of the experience with meals, the trip to sumilon sandbar, the whale shark experience, and our visit to Tumalog Falls. All of the experiences are well worth it. The views our amazing and the whale sharks are simply majestic. They will get close to you - I had to dodge tails a couple of times. Don't forget your underwater camera! If you do, there are go-pro for rent on site. Here, I had to say goodbye to wonderful Yancy to head to Pescador with Angelo. There, this is where the private tour really became private. I had my own boat with two crew members to move around to three different snorkeling areas. The first showed lots of small, colorful fish. At the second, my friends on the boat got out and helped find the sea turtles hanging out on the sea floor- of which, we found 3. Pretty awesome. Just a short way away, we went to the sardine run. Millions of sardines, no exaggeration. While snorkeling, you can look down and watch how the light reflects from them as they move. Also, the geometric patterns form by the movement of the large groups of sardines is a sight to see. Your mileage may vary, but I had a beautiful, clear day and outstanding people. The only difficult part of the day were the long rides from Cebu, as that is where I was staying, but Angelo was a pro getting us there and back. He easily drove for over eight hours that day. For my money's worth, even doing having to book a solo tour was worth it.

A bit disappointing - It was a long day but it was a good day. Just be aware that they use food to pass the whale sharks in front of the boats and you basically have to stay still with your head in the water and watch them go by. You're not swimming/snorkeling with them in an open setting. That was quite disappointing, also because it was very crowded with all the boats around so I was constantly bumping into other people. There are other places where you can swim/snorkel with the whale sharks; if I'd known this, I would have tried to book a different tour.
