“This was a full day tour. Driver picked us up at 4am at the hotel lobby and returned us to the hotel lobby at 8pm. Fun day filled with beautiful sites and snorkeling. Our Driver, Abahm (spelling?), was fantastic and very professional. Our tour guide Diana was also excellent. They took care of us from start to finish. Great explanation, we were never left guessing what we should do or what was coming next. Highly recommend for people with limited time and have just one day to explore Cebu. Fantastic!”

2.Boat Tour to Sandbar and Snorkeling with Turtles

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 186 reviews · 6 hours · from $51Best value

Shared boat from Panglao in Bohol, dolphins and turtles at Balicasag, coral reef snorkeling, then Virgin Island white sandbar, lunch included.

“Picked up from near my hotel on time. Arrived at the boat where we met the friendly boat crew. The weather did take a turn for the worse half way through the trip however, the crew where enthusiastic and continued all of the activities. Lunch was superb! All i would say is that if you are attending this tour then bring some wet weather gear as there is limited rain protection.”

Swim with Cebu whale sharks, cool off at Tumalog Falls, and snorkel the Sumilon sandbar in one full day of water wonder.

“MUST TRY! When you first start the trip you’re greeted with the driver. Little do you know, you’re now in a “fast and furious” movie. 3 hour drive to oslob? Nah, you’ll get there in 2. Arriving is breakfast. Yummy rice and mango and an ice cold San Miguel. (San Miguel not included, I just love it with mango) Whale shark time! Ask for the GoPro pictures! Even if you have your own, just do it. You won’t regret it.

“This tour was amazing from start to finish! It was just me and a friend, and we had a private boat all to ourselves — definitely worth it. The driver picked us up at 6am from our hotel and stayed in touch on WhatsApp, which made things super easy. Everything was really organized, and we felt taken care of the whole time. The boatmen were super kind and spoke English well. And best part is we spent so much time chasing the dolphins and got to see them up close!!! We had total freedom to decide what to do and when to do it, whether hanging w dolphins or at…”

★★★★★★★★★★1.8 · 4 reviews · from $125

Swim with whale sharks in Oslob, see Tumalog Falls, relax at Sumilon Sandbar, then island hop in Moalboal with hotel pickup.

“A scam, no one came to pick us up and we couldn't do the activity after taking a flight to do it and a hotel just to get to Oslob so that no one showed up or solved it, don't buy on this website if you don't want to be left stranded and without a solution.”
