Real experiences from real travelers
We booked the combo tour and it was absolutely incredible. The drive is long, but our driver was safe and the van was comfortable. Swimming with the whale sharks was surreal, and the canyoneering guides were so helpful with the jumps. Highly recommend!
Very well organized. The pickup was on time at 3 AM. The whale sharks are huge! I was a bit scared of the cliff jumps at Kawasan, but the guide helped me find lower jumping points. The food provided was delicious Filipino style.
Be prepared for a very early start, but you can sleep in the van. The canyoneering is the best part - the water is so blue it looks fake. The guides took amazing photos for us. Only giving 4 stars because the breakfast stop was a bit rushed.
Our guides were the stars of the show. They were funny, kept us safe, and took great Go-Pro videos. The whale shark watching is short (30 mins) but magical. Kawasan falls is breathtaking.
If you do one thing in Cebu, do this. It's a full day of adrenaline. The canyoneering trek is beautiful and refreshing. Make sure to rent the water shoes if you don't have your own. Great value for money.
The nature is stunning. Whale sharks were crowded but majestic. The waterfall hike was refreshing. A tiring day but good memories.
Service was excellent from start to finish. Driver was polite. The lunch at the end of canyoneering was very satisfying. I will recommend this booking platform to my friends.
I was worried about the swimming ability needed, but the life jacket keeps you afloat the whole time. You don't need to be a pro swimmer. Just float and enjoy!
Everything you need to know for your journey
The dry season from December to May offers the best weather and water clarity, though tours operate year-round. Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends.
No, you do not need to be a strong swimmer. Life vests are mandatory and provided for both the whale shark watching and canyoneering activities, keeping you buoyant at all times.
Wear swimwear under your clothes, and bring a change of dry clothes. For canyoneering, rash guards and board shorts are recommended to protect against scratches. Sturdy water shoes or trekking sandals are essential.
The journey takes approximately 3 to 4 hours one way from Cebu City, depending on traffic. This is why pickups are scheduled very early (around 3-4 AM).
Yes, they are wild animals that are free to come and go, but they are habituated to the area due to the feeding practices by local fishermen.
Yes, most full-day combo packages include a local lunch, often served after the canyoneering activity. Breakfast is usually at your own expense during a stopover.
The minimum age for canyoneering is typically 7 years old. Younger children can join the trip but may have to skip the canyoneering portion and wait at the falls area with a guardian.
Yes, waterproof cameras like GoPros are highly recommended! For whale sharks, flash photography is strictly prohibited. Guides are often happy to take photos for you.
Tours generally run rain or shine. However, in the event of typhoons or extreme weather that makes swimming unsafe, the tour may be cancelled or rescheduled for a full refund.
