Shark Encounter and Kawasan Falls Canyoneering Review - Awesome experience. We paid more to do scuba diving with the whale sharks and it was definitely worth it as there is no wait time. Canyoneering was so fun. It was one of our most memorable tours in the Philippines trip. It was a long car ride and draining activities but definite worth the time and money. Our tour guide was for Kawasan Falls was amazing and helped take so many pictures.

Tour guide was a no show - I travelled to the Philippines specifically for this tour. Waited outside my hotel like an idiot for an hour and a half and nobody picked me up. What a waste of my time and money. The company also only has WhatsApp numbers that they do not respond to and I have not been able to get in contact with them.
