Go see the Whale Sharks - Incredible to see the whale sharks and swim with them. Waterfalls incredible and the island with white sand beach beautiful! Weather prevented going to Pescadore unfortunately.

LONG day, but so worth it! - This is an amazing way to experience what Cebu has to offer, however do keep in mind this is a very long day! I recommend to bring extra towels, change of clothes, sandals, a GoPro and long sleeve rashguard (you can purchase all of these at the vendors if you don't have, though.) We were picked up at 3:00 am in the morning, and began our 3 hour drive to Oslob. The first activity was visiting the sand bar, and then it was the whale shark snorkeling. The people there briefed us and told us we are not able to use sunblock/sunscreen as it could hurt the whale and the corals (hence the long sleeve rashguard). After the whale shark, it was a waterfall viewing. You can go in the waterfall if you wish, but be careful because it's very slippery! After the waterfall it is a lunch break, and then it is another 2 hours drive to the next spot. The sardine and turtle experience is magical and i will absolutely remember it for life. They provide life jackets for everyone, but I would still recommend knowing how to swim before you enter the ocean. The drive back to the hotel took another 4 hours, so you definitely want to change into dry clothes instead of being wet and damp in the car that long! Our driver was Melchor and he was a great person. The best part of this was Chris, the tour guide for the sardine/turtle snorkeling portion. He was basically Aquaman that could breathe underwater, and he got a ton of great video footage for us, and even gave us tips on how to free dive.
Overall, it's an amazing tour, but you definitely need a lot of energy and stamina to enjoy it. Bring change of clothes and

Amazing Tour Experience with Noel and Mackoy! - We had an absolutely fantastic experience! Our tour guide Noel was incredible — friendly, knowledgeable, and so passionate about sharing the local culture and sights. He made every part of the tour engaging and memorable, going above and beyond to make sure we had the best time.
A huge thank you as well to our driver Mackoy, who was punctual, courteous, and made our transportation completely hassle-free. Everything ran so smoothly from pick-up to drop-off, and we truly appreciated his professionalism and safe driving.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team — Noel and Mackoy made our trip unforgettable! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Once in a life time trip! This is fantastic! - This is an awesome experience, highly recommended. First up is a light breakfast, then into the water. You will get very close the the whale sharks, but you can't touch them. However, they didn't tell the sharks and you might get brushed or pushed aside by their tail fin.
The trip to the island is nice, just before the delicious lunch is provided. After a quick stop at the stunning waterfalls (and a motorcycle ride down and back up (100 pesos), you'll travel to swim with the turtles and sardines. This is a totally unbelievable experience. Made even better by our SUPER driver Richard, fantastic tour guides, Ellen, Joseph and Jardin. Our boat trip in Moalboal was made perfect by J & J and a gear tour company!
Be prepared for a very long day!
Bring sunscreen, bottled water and a hat

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.
