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.”

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!”
