This is not a review as such, bit more in the nature of an advice. Most people (and websites, guides and write-ups) will tell you to reach the Whale Shark Center in Oslob early so as to avoid the crowds. To my mind, that's a mug's game. When we reached at about 8 AM there was a lot of crowd...
This is not a review as such, bit more in the nature of an advice. Most people (and websites, guides and write-ups) will tell you to reach the Whale Shark Center in Oslob early so as to avoid the crowds. To my mind, that's a mug's game. When we reached at about 8 AM there was a lot of crowd - in fact the crowd starts to gather there as early as 6 AM. But by 10 AM all the crowd had vanished. There was only a trickle of people, even though it was a weekend. Accordingly, I would advise that you reach there at 10 AM - the big fish would still be there, but the crowds would have gone home by then. They don't allow you in the boat for more than about 30 minutes, and the Centre closes at 11 AM........so you will be fine.All of the attractions included in this tour were really enjoyable and definitely worth experiencing.

Our tour started from our Hotel in Cebu city, we have been drived about 2h30 down to Oslob to see the gentle giant we were dreaming about since the very begining of the organization of our trip. As soon as we arrived, we met Cherryl, our tour guide. She made this tours unforgettable, taking great care of us, always smiling and making sure we had everything we need to enjoy this new experience. The meeting with the whale was awesome, we have seen them a lot of time very closely, making remembers for the rest of our life. It last a bit more than 30 minutes in the water. Then we moved to Tumalog falls, nice waterfalls with cleaning fishes. We took a lot of nice pictures. You have to take a 2 min motorcycle ride to get there, it was really fun. Then the lunch was more than enough with a lot to eat, mainly chicken based. Lastly, we have been to kawasan falls. We have never seen a water blue like this, pur guide helped us taking pictures ang going inside the water. To conclude this review, i would say that we Highly recommend Cebu Tours travel agency for your Cebu Journey as they offer high qualities adventure day for a very decent price. Thank you so much Cherryl !Our driver Mar picked us at our hotel in time. We went to Oslob, in a 3h ride, as we were staying in Mactan, to have a light breakfast and meet Diane, our guide, which took us to the whale sharks.

Our driver Mar picked us at our hotel in time. We went to Oslob, in a 3h ride, as we were staying in Mactan, to have a light breakfast and meet Diane, our guide, which took us to the whale sharks. We had to pay extra 500 PHP to swim with the whale sharks, which was amazing! Then we went to Tumalog falls, where we paid extra 50 PHP to have a motorcycle ride to and from the falls. You can go on foot, but I suggest you pay for the ride... :) The Tumalog falls were really beautiful! After this, we went to have lunch, which was ok. Then we had a 1h30 ride to Kawasan falls. We've walked for about 1.5km, but it is an easy walk. The falls are also amazing. It took us about 5h to get back to Mactan. But totally worth it!!We did the whale shark swimming in the morning and the Kawasan falls in the afternoon, it was the best day ever!

We did the whale shark swimming in the morning and the Kawasan falls in the afternoon, it was the best day ever! We had a tour guide at each of the destinations, both were amazing and very helpful explaining and guiding us step by step. The driver was also great, it was just the 2 of us and he was helpful and easy going which made the whole trip enjoyable. We would recommend this tour any day and if we stayed longer would have booked them again for something else.This tour was one of the best we have ever experienced (and we have been on many)!

This tour was one of the best we have ever experienced (and we have been on many)! Swimming with whale sharks was such a magical experience, and I was pleasantly surprised with how well organized it was, with so many people there. Our guide Cherryl was so lovely and constantly offered to help hold our belongings so we could enjoy the moment. The canyoneering to Kawasan Falls was one of the coolest experiences ever. We started with a gorgeous motorbike ride to the top and had the option to zipline instead of walk the beginning for 500P/ person. Take this option! It is absolutely breathtaking and quite a long zipline. Our guide Jundie (John) was THE man, and this tour wouldn't have been the same without him. Not only was he an amazing guide, but he held onto our GoPro the entire time - taking tons of photos and videos of us, so we could really enjoy the experience and not worry about taking pictures. He kept us safe and worry free the whole time. He was the best!!!! Cannot thank him enough for his time/ service.
