Real experiences from real travelers
Swimming with the whale sharks was absolutely surreal. The tour was well organized, picked us up on time, and the guides were super helpful. Tumalog Falls afterwards was the perfect way to cool down.
Long drive from Cebu City but worth it. The sharks are huge! The guides made sure we were safe and followed the rules. Highly recommend the package with Canyoneering.
The experience itself is incredible, but expect a lot of people. Go as early as possible. Our driver was fantastic and the van was comfortable.
We did the combo tour with Kawasan Falls. Long day but the best day of our holiday. The canyoneering guides were hilarious and the whale sharks were breathtaking.
Booking was easy and confirmation was instant. The strict no-sunscreen rule is good for the environment. Bring a rash guard!
