★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 630 reviews · 6 hours · from $47Best value

Canyoneer down the Matutinao River, jump Kawasan Falls, then eat a homemade Filipino lunch with pickup in Moalboal and Badian.

“10/10 experience, we had a great time! Defo recommend the Zipline at the start. you are assigned your own guide to take you through the canyon and can set your own pace. I recommend bringing a GoPro/water case for your phone as the guides are able to film the experience for you whilst you are enjoying it! bring extra cash, there are a couple of add-ons to the experience that you should do (Tarzan swing, Zipline etc) plus you wanna give a decent tip to your guide! food at the end was delicious too 🌞😊”

We are a family of 6 and got the private option. Highly recommend this tour, and get the GoPro option. Those guys know their stuff.

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 234 reviews · 10 hours · from $127

Cebu in 10 hours: swim with whale sharks, meet Oslob monkeys, then snorkel Moalboal sardine run and sea turtles with a free GoPro.

“It was a great experience for sure, especially the whalesharks. You have enough time to get the experience you're looking for. The driver does need to drive really fast to get you everywhere on time and the road is very bumpy, so don't expect to actually sleep well during the ride, because you won't. All in all it's worth your time and you should consider going on this trip.”

You need long pants to be able to enter so this was a big waste of money. Car was old and pretty uncomfortable, drive 1h 30 min to the gardens 1st then coming back into the city. We end up skipping a few stops and got all disappointed to not be able to see the church.”
