Best experience! - This was one of the best experiences here in Cebu. The whale shark section was the highlight of the tour in my opinion. Kawasan Falls was also great and the water was very refreshing! The next time I visit here will definitely do the canyoneering tour. The tour guides for the whale shark/sumilon island was great. Edna was very accommodating and Ramil was also a great guide. Would recommend both for the tour.

Greate experience with Whale and very well arranged tour - It was very well organized by Cebu Tours. I received my pickup on time, in fact, the driver arrived early My tour guide was Yantcy. She helped me get the ticket and guided me to the tour. Her time management was excellent. During my swim, she was very kind enough to take care of my belongings and bag. Cebu tours are something I would recommend to others. The trip to Kawasan Falls was also excellent. It was a pleasure to have a driver who was always on time and took care of the timing.

The waters are amazing - Incredible waters once again. The tour guides were mostly on their phones but still a positive experience over all. The sights outweighs that detail for sure.

Wonderful Experience minus a few issues - Our tour was absolutely amazing and breathtaking! The whale shark experience was a real highlight and something we’ll remember for a life time! We saw 20-30 sharks in a 30 minute period and the timing was the perfect amount to get the full experience! I would recommend bringing 550 pesos to purchase a gopro, and the guides will take photos and videos of you interacting with the sharks. The experience at the island was average- the water was so blue and beautiful but there’s nothing to do here if you don’t want to swim. The sand bar that is usually there wasn’t there during our visit due to the season, but it may be better when that’s there so you can walk out onto the sand but for us there was no beach or sand, just an underdeveloped island with pretty water. The breakfast and lunch were also very minimal and had limited options. The breakfast was toast, an egg, and banana and the lunch was a Philippine meal of chicken, rice, soup, watermelon, and noodles. If you’re picky, I would recommend bringing snacks along the way because it’s a long way. The Kawasan falls was also beautiful and relaxing. We chose not to do the canyoneering because I am pregnant and I have heard it’s not safe, but we had more than enough fun just swimming and enjoying the falls on our own. Lastly, this was personal to our tour but our driver was very sick the day he drove us. He was constantly sneezing, coughing, blowing his nose, and even opening the car door to spit gunk of out of his mouth. Considering we are in the car for 7-8 hours with him, it was quite unpleasant and uncomfortable. Plus, immediately the next day both my husband and I got sick, and I am pregnant so it was really not good. Plus no one wants to be sick on vacation! I would highly recommend encouraging drivers and guides to STAY home if they aren’t feeling well because it really puts paying customers at unnecessary risk of getting sick. Please encourage all future drivers to find replacement if they are feeling ill! It’s not fair for us to get sick, just because they want to keep working. Overall, besides the issues we had with the driver and the lack of food variety, I would highly recommend this experience for anyone coming to Cebu!

Great day, highly recommend, private tour was the best! - We had a great day on our private tour, our tour guides were amazing, very informative and organised. Much prefer private tour over group tour as you could leave each place when you felt like it. We got to experience the whale sharks up so close which was really amazing and the falls and island were beautiful tour. Wilson our driver was great company along with the other guides. Definitely recommend.

Whale sharks - It was a great time. Best part was the swimming with the Whale sharks! The island was pretty but high tide so not much of a beach area. The water falls was beautiful, a little hike to get there but worth it.

An unforgettable experience - We wanted a private tour without having to wait for hours to swim with the whale sharks! It was advertised as swimming with the whale sharks but when we got there we were presented with diving gear! The instructions were 5 minutes long and my daughter did not enjoy it as could not get the hang of diving. I refused due to having high blood pressure and must say they accommodated me to go on the boat instead of diving. It should specify it is diving not swimming as this was a shock. Otherwise it was a brilliant trip, started early at 4 am. It was advertised as a 2 hour drive but it was 3-5 both ways! The island hopping was brilliant but please wear leggings or a long wetsuit as my children got badly bitten by sea lice and got flu symptoms after. The food was basic tbh breakfast was awful bread and bananas! Lunch was a lot better. Why they could not give panera bread or pastries for breakfast after 3 and a half hours in the car I don’t know. The boat helpers were brilliant and helped me when the current nearly dragged me away! All in all it was an unforgettable experience and the whale shark brushed against me and are gentle giants Thank you

The whales deserve better - They are trying. But our guide and driver did not speak English very well and we felt very rushed and without a lot of communication. In truth, there were so many more people than I expected. The whole experience with the whales feels a little “icky” given the farmers are feeding them to stay.
