Nice tour and tour guide - The lady who was our guide was very kind and attentive. I was very satisfied with the tour itself as we were able to see whale sharks and sea turtles. If I have a chance to visit Cebu again, I would like to ask for a guide!

Very satisfied. - Guides picked us up from early morning, You drove all the way to the point by car in a chartered state. The car was also cleaned clean and there was no special preparation necessary as water and towels were provided. I rented a GoPro and didn't need an SD card. They took care of our luggage with peace of mind. It was very easy to talk in fluent Japanese. We were also very pleased with the Guides who helped us during the tour. Thank you very much.

I had a unique experience in Cebu. - I was able to see whale sharks and sea turtles up close. When we went there ourselves, the Guides took us to places we weren't sure about the system, and we enjoyed it with peace of mind. The driver was also quick to drive us to our destination, which was comfortable.

Healing cute whale shark - Whale shark He was cute. I couldn't swim, I couldn't leave the ship's outrider because there were so many waves. I couldn't go out to sea like the others. But if I can go again next time, I want to brave it. The sardine tunnel in the afternoon was cancelled due to poor weather, so I will go see it again next time.
