10 Mactan Island Tours in Cebu Worth the Early Start

1.Mactan Cebu Island Hopping with Lunch – Gilutungan, Caohagan, Nalusuan

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 132 reviews · from $85Our pick

Mactan island hopping to Caohagan, Gilutungan and Nalusuan with snorkeling gear, hotel pickup, and BBQ lunch on the water.

“The tour started out great! We enjoyed snorkeling and got to see lots of fish. However, We fell pray to a scam. The boat captain allowed a local fish vendor to board the boat and offer to grill small pieces of seafood for us, which turned out to be at extortionate prices. (about 10 times typical cost for the area). This really put a damper on how we felt about the tour and the day. When we choose to book through Viator, our expectation was that we are paying a premium price for what we expect to be a vetted tour company, which would not allow this type of scam…”
