Long day but worth it! Get rest beforehand! - We took a long trip from Cebu, we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. It was a long day but the driver was good and attentive of our things while we did the activities. The Sardine run was awesome and the canyoneering was tough but exciting! Will say that the canyoneering is definitely not for the very young or old, as it is quite demanding physically!

Well worth doing - Pescador Island wasn’t worth going to but the rest of the itinerary was great. Swimming with the sardines and seeing the turtles was cool. By far the highlight was canyoneering at Kawasan Falls. The guides were great and it was a lot of fun.

the best - We had a really good time at the Pescador Islands, the driver Angelo sent us to Moalboal in merely two hours and we had a great sleep on the drive. The local tour guide were also really nice and they took awesome videos for us using our GoPro. We upgraded to canyoneering in Alegria and the experience was stunning, we jumped into the waters for more than 10 times. It was a little crowded though.

Nature freak's dream - The canyoneering experience at Kawasan is adrenalin thrilled, where you will have professional guidance through the almost 5km canyon - Jumping from cliffs as high as 10m. I would absolutely do it again, any day. Make sure you put on a lot of sun screen and wear waterproof, non slippery shoes. You can skip the intro 15min walk by making use of the zip line (add. cost). You will be starving after where you will enjoy a delicious lunch. The sardine experience was good, next time I would prefer doing scuba dving during this activity since it is quite crowded with people taking more photos than anything else. It is overall a once in a lifetime, beautiful experience.

Canyoneering was the highlight - Sardine run and canyoneering were amazing. We weren’t able to do the other snorkel site due to weather which was disappointing. There was a very long day with driving times, due to the crazy traffic on the way back through. So if you’re not someone that enjoys being in a car for long periods or get motion sick, that is worth considering.

Company/Service Good I think - The only thing I didn't like was the turtle theme, let me explain. 1. Visit to an area where there were supposedly a lot of corals: there was almost nothing and I could only see two starfish, I don't know if the location was the cycle of marine life. 2. Turtles: there was only one. It was a mistake and I regret it, but it seemed to me (without considering myself an ultra defender of animals) an abuse to see the turtle with 40 people around it, it was inconceivable to me, an abuse of what its calm could be, because that's how turtles are. As a company you have to pay more attention to this, it was horrible and even more so how the guides pushed me to swim or try to pose next to them (although in general I think they were good guys). 3. Sardines: spectacular. 4. Canoyneering: best part, you are going to love it and the guys work great with the company.

Surreal - Incredible tour content, but unfortunately the experience was terrible. At the agreed time, we were in the hotel lobby waiting for transport, 5 minutes after the time, a taxi arrived in very bad condition, said my name and where we were going, and we took off. Not even 5 minutes later, in terrible English, he was telling us that we had to pay for the taxi to our destination (3 hour trip) we put our foot down and said that we wouldn't pay anything to continue the journey.....the journey continued but always with the taximeter on. When we arrived at our destination, he had no idea where to leave us.....we drove around in the car for about 2 hours without a destination, he asked if instead of going to the "fishermen's island" if we wanted to go do another activity .... Obviously we didn't accept, after waiting for so long, I demanded to speak to his manager, but someone ended up coming to pick us up... We do the activity - fishermen's island, turtles and sardines - incredible, super attentive and dedicated staff. Once it's over we have to get back into the taxi to take us to the second part of the activity. This trip went without any problems. Canoeing activity - incredible - fabulous experience. At the end of the activity, we return to the hotel (3 hours of travel) despite the attitude being different, the trip runs normally. It was the day of the biggest party in Cebu and the driver decided to go right through the middle of the party, that is....3 hours in queues and traffic. You are always on the phone, sometimes with a lady and sometimes with different men. Even Wue manages to get out of the mess and stops next to a taxi. Tell us that you are hungry and we will go with that person to our hotel but we didn't need to pay!!!! We were surprised and didn't allow it....he said the only name he had was his and it was with him that he had to get to the hotel. He turned on the turbo and we arrived at the hotel as quickly as possible.
