A MUST DO! - The journey is definitely long, but this is one of the best tours I’ve ever done. The tour guide was excellent and very accommodating. They provide towels and water. I saw so much wildlife on this tour, I definitely recommend going with this tour. I canceled another tour because I didn’t like how they were a bit rude to me. Your business is welcomed here, they are so nice, and they even give you a parting gift of a cute little keychain. 10/10 recommend. Best thing I did in Cebu!

unforgettable trip - The trip starts in the middle of the night. Farrah, our guide, and Anton, our driver, picked me up on time. We (a small group of 5 people) were at the Sardine Run and the turtles at sunrise. The experience was great, afterward Farrah provided us with beach towels and drinking water. She always looked after our valuables and took very good care of us. The GoPro provided takes excellent pictures and videos. We then went whale shark watching. There we had to wait a whole 2 hours, but were rewarded for it. It is a unique experience to swim with the whale shark. The return journey takes a long time, but the trip is worth every minute. Lunch at Choobi Choobi was super delicious (not included in the tour).

The whale sharks are right there!! - It was a wonderful experience. I was so impressed to see the whale sharks and sea turtles up close! The sardine tornado was also fantastic! The guide and driver were very kind and friendly, and they took lots of photos and videos for me, which made for a wonderful memory. It was early in the morning and the distance was long, but I'm glad I went.
