Swim with Oslob whale sharks, visit Tumalog Falls, then snorkel Moalboal sardines and turtles on a full Cebu day trip.

“Was definitely worth the time and money spent. Grueling to start at 2am but realized the importance as soon as we got to Oslob. Our tour was very organized, and our driver Elizer was very good. 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. We had an amazing experience with the sharks, the turtles and the sardines. The Tumalag Falls was an incredible sight.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 19 reviews · 1 day · from $95

One day in Moalboal with door-to-door pickup for Pescador Island snorkeling, the Sardine Run, and Turtle Point sea turtle encounters.

“The activity has a much higher price than the official boats price plus private driving to Moalboal. Additionally, the sardine run activity with turtles did not seem correct to me. It is crowded, people try to touch turtles, interfere in their swimming and do not respect animals properly. I would not recommend it to a friend at all. Despite this, the driver and the boat driver were nice with us.”
