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!”

“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. Sumilon sandbar and Tumalog falls were both amazing and when you come back you get to have a big feast with chicken, rice, San Miguel (San Miguel not included btw,…”

Cebu day trip with Oslob whale sharks, Sumilon Sand Bar, and Moalboal sardine run snorkeling plus hotel transfers for about $126.

“Giornata piena e molto soddisfacente. Abbiamo visto gli squali balena e nuotato con loro. Se da un lato è una roba molto turistica, dall’altro quando ti trovi a contatto con le balene ti rendi conto di quanto sia un’esperienza indimenticabile. Sumilon island molto belle, noi sfortunatamente abbiamo trovato un tempo non bellissimo. E in ultimo le tartarughe marine e il banco di sardine, davvero spettacolare. Unica nota, la mattina abbiamo aspettato 3 ore per prendere il biglietto ma penso sia la fila che si debba fare necessariamente per prendere parte all’attività.”

Whale shark swim in Oslob, a quick Sumilon sandbar break, then Moalboal snorkeling for sardines and turtles, with Cebu pickup and gear.

“The driver was ok, the first guide was guiding a ton of different groups, there wasn't a guide for the second stop. Snorkeling guide in moalboal was fantastic. Whale shark viewing was very disillusioning, the visitors number in the thousands and are treated like cattle or worse. The whale sharks are led around by little boats with guys feeding them as if they're on leashes. You are not allowed to get more than a few feet from your boat or they yell at you and then they contradict that by yelling at you to get out of the way as they lead a shark straight at you, and when you…”
