This tour is unique due that this is a combination of destination in the Southern part of Cebu. With the encounter with gentle giants of Oslob the Whaleshark it is once in a lifetime experience to see it upclose and after you get to see the Majestic view of Tumalog Falls with turquoise waters and it is one of the hotspot in the south this waterfall is not known for its impressive flow of water, it’s sheer height and width definitely impressed us. It’s definitely worth checking out if you are in Cebu, especially for those staying near Oslob!

Worth the long trip - The trip is kind of a pain. 3am pickup, 6pm drop-off for 30 min of whale shark swimming, almost all of that time being driving and waiting. That being said, the main attraction makes it more than worth it. You get as close as you can imagine to the whale sharks.
Some of the side attractions are nice enough as well - the sand bar and the waterfall.

One of the best tours I ever took - The best of waterfall very similar to Kongsi fall at Luang Prabang, Laos. The whale shark was awesome and Sumilon Island was stunning

Whale sharks - Love the whale sharks and the falls! It is totally worth it, in my opinion, to go with a tour for the whale sharks because it is so busy. The tour company was very organized and took good care of us. The water to see the sardines was cloudy, so not like the photo on the site for us but the boat captain did a good job of getting some good photos for us. The water was better for turtles, and the boat captain was great about finding them. I completely recommend renting a go pro, they will film and take photos for you, and you can just enjoy the experience.
Great tour company.

Best of the best guides - Our duo brother and sister guides were professional, helpful, energetic, and, most importantly, respectful. This is the best tour for your hard earned bucks to encounter the Oslob Whale Shark watching (very close encounter) and Tumalog waterfalls.

pricey tour, but worth it totally - The tour started at 3am with a formula 1 race of all the vans going from Cebu city to Oslob. It was scary, but luckily no accident. The return trip was less dangerous. The tour includes not only whale shark watchin, Sumilon sandbar trip and amazingly beautiful Tumalog falls, but also has a stop at Cartel ruins and Simala church, which was not even listed in the itinerary. So you get to see many beautiful places in just one day. Very well organized, highly recommended. My only complaint is the lack of vegan options at lunch time carenderia.

Something you must do - Wonderful experience. Swimming next to whale sharks was unique. But the most amazing point of this excursion is Tumalog Falls. So clean waters, so wild landscape!!

OVERCHARGED AND UNDERWHELMED - Swimming with the whale sharks was a fun experience and I highly recommend it! There were people of all ages, some as young as 3 participating.
This was the only good part of my tour.
I booked one tour that apparently wasn't available. So the company added me to a different tour and didn’t inform me. They simply scheduled me on a tour that had swimming with the whale sharks, and the visit to Sumilon, but nothing else I paid for. I was supposed to go to Tumalog Falls, have pickup and dropoff to my hotel, snorkel gear, breakfast, lunch, and towel. It wasn’t until i asked for my breakfast after a 4hr drive (i was the first to be picked up at 1:30am) that the tour guide told me food wasn’t included in the tour.The other guests on the tour informed me of the new itinerary, which included monkeys,a shrine, and a visit to buy chicharonnes. None of which i could participate. After comparing the tour I booked with the one I was actually on, the tour guide gave me money to eat but it didn’t cover what i had already paid after finding out there was no food.They dropped me off in the middle of Cebu City to find my own way back to my hotel, even though i was supposed to be returned to my hotel. I had to pay an additional 600php for a ride back to Lapu Lapu, which was an hr away. I found out the other guests paid less than half of what I paid and I’m assuming that’s bc of the Viator fees, but the tour company should’ve cancelled my reservation or gave me the option of whether I wanted to continue since the tour i booked was no longer available. They only refunded me $18 usd, which is less than what i spent outside of the $115 i paid for the ticket.

Disappointing - Local operator sucked. Insisted on communicating via WhatsApp, finally used Viator email when I told I didn't have one.
Late pick up. Instructed to be in lobby before 3am, no ETA tho I requested one. Driver "forgot" snorkeling gears for Sumilon Island.
Driver charged extra 100pesos/pp for hotel drop off. Then sarcastically suggested a tip.
Niece almost fainted at the whale watching site so can't review the experience. Tour guide excellent in guiding us to the ambulance & medical personnel.
Lastly, why were our fellow passengers charged only 1,700 pesos per person & I was charged $109 per person. Mind boggling difference. I don't think I'll use Viator ever again.
