Arnold my driver for the day was just awesome . He was early for pick up and so was I so we started early . Yes it’s a long day but everyone that was part of this tour was absolutely amazing. Everything was explained throughout the day . Whale Sharks - nothing needs to be said but wow . Yes there are a lot of people waiting but it’s just part of it . The sardines were also pretty cool and all the turtles we saw . I was by myself so we stayed as long as or short as I wanted to . Thanks . Highly recommend this tour .

The pick-up was at 3AM. We arrived at 6AM at Oslob. Local guide Diana met us there and took us to watch a one minute presentation that was very inaudible. After that she told us our timeslot to swim with the Whaleshark was in 3 hours. Why this could not be arranged more efficiently is beyond me, but we had to roll with it. She took us for our light breakfast and as a way of killing time in between we would go to sumilon island after breakfast. Great solution, if it wasn't for it being 7AM and the tide being way to high; there was no island! To make matters worse we were told we could only snorkel on one side of the island (where there was nothing to see) because the good side was only accessible with a guide (...). After a swim we went back and got offered lunch at the same place we had breakfast an hour earlier. After lunch we went for our swim with the whaleshark. There are about 100 people in the water at a go. They all got the info not to touche the whaleshark. Yet, the tourguides feed the Whaleshark and made him swim so close to the boat that there was just no space left to let him pass and unfortunally you could see one of them was previously injured by such a collid. It was amazing seeing them, but if the Whalesharks are good off at this place is very questionable. We were told the Tumalog falls were closed by the goverment until further notice and got reimburshed the entree fee. Therefore after Oslob we went to Pascador island. The island itself was not very impressive as Odette destroyed the corals back in 2021. We were very lucky to run in to a turtle by coincidence. That was an amzing experience. The sardine rush, right at the beach at the main island, was magical. The guide on the boat made some amazing recordings of us snorkeling amongst them. There was a turtle closer to the beach but the set up gave the impression the turtle was 'placed' there. He was in the shallow waters and - in my opinion - not given a lot of space to move freely. We were lucky enough to see one earlier to we left him to do his thing. After this started a 4 hours (!) ride back to the hotel. The day concluded at 7PM. Not so much because of the distance, but the traffic after work hours getting back into Cebu City are something to keep into account. Ludz was our driver and we asked him for recommendations on Halo Halo. He took us for a dragon fruit shake instead, one that I highly recommend you take him up on. All and all a very, very long day for which I'd advice to consider twice before booking.

This tour was unfortunately disappointing, yes the whale sharks were amazing and a great experience. However after departing at 3am we got to Oslob at 6:30am, after obtaining our ticket we waited for 6 hours at a restaurant, we were unable to apply sunscreen and did not have anything to do for 6 hours. We got to swim with the whale sharks at 12:30pm for 30 mins in choppy water. The experience was amazing to see these creatures however, this was an unacceptable wait and we should have been offered an activity or sightseeing while waiting. The falls were shut, which is due to the dry season and we knew in advance, however after the whale sharks we got to Maolboal at 3:15pm and was advised we were unable to go to Pescador island as it was shut (refund of 100peso provided). We were taken to the snorkelling area via land and we snorkelled for max 45mins in low visibility and a highly condensed area with people knocking into you which wasn't enjoyable. We were provided lunch at 10:30am and 7/11 snacks. There were amazing bars at the snorkelling but we were unable to stay at due to timing. I arrived back to my hotel at 8:40pm. Considering we left at 3am and arrived back at 8:40pm we only engaged in 1 hour and 15mins of activity in total. This was such a disappointing tour and should've been planned better. I do have to note Cesar the driver was amazing, he had such a long day and was super helpful, kind a patient. He works so hard.

Pick up at 3am from my hotel in private car. Bobby was my guide in MoalBoal and he was very professional and respectful. In Bohol my tour was Diana and she’s the sweetest! Hooked me up with great pictures of the waterfalls. The whale sharks were amazing, a unique adventure that I think everyone should do when they’re on Cebu. I would definitely recommend this company and tour to friends and family. In fact if I come back, I’d do it again! Especially with the same tour guides :)
