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.”
