Cebu adventures - Will book with this tour again! We did back to back tours with them, this one and the Mactan Island Hopping. These guys are great! They communicated well. The van they picked us up in was well maintained and comfortable. The whale shark experience and the canyoneering adventure was definitely an experience to remember. Big big shout out to our driver Kuya Josef. Thank you for getting us from Cebu City to Oslob and back safely - the streets in the Philippines is not for the faint of heart, and comfortably. Thank you Joy for helping us in Oslob. And a huge thanks to their partners at Let's Go Trek Tour! The gang was amazing! Thank you for making sure we are safe while we enjoy the adventure of canyoneering. Will book with these guys again, hopefully when we come back to Cebu.

Thank you Bobby, Shyra & Jamela! - Thank you to Bobby, our driver who took exceptionally good care of us. We requested to be dropped off at Moalboal after the tour, and he kindly accommodated and sent us to our hotel. He also showed us baby sharks along the way to canyoneering. Thanks so much Bobby!! Also want to say thank you to our canyoneering guides, Shyra and Jamela. They made the adventure so much more fun with their enthusiasm, singing and just positive energy. They took the most amazing photos of us, knew all the angles etc. We were pretty tired after whale sharks but their energy hyped us up. Thank you so much guys! You really made the tour special. Unfortunately couldn’t do the tumalog falls because it was closed. But got refunded for that. We also thought canyoneering definitely made up for it. An amazing private tour!

Core Memories Made! - Our excursion with Cebu Tours which included swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob, visiting Sumilon Sandbar, Tumalog Waterfalls, and Canyoneering in Badian/Kawasan Falls was truly the most memorable experience not only for me, but for my entire family which included my husband and my 2 children (8 and 10 years old). The experience of swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob was truly memorable. Our driver Cesar and our tour guide Lyndee were the best. She was very kind, informative and was great in taking all of our pictures. For our canyoneering experience, I cannot thank enough our canyoneering tour guides, Vhickie Aspascio and Pao Pao, for their expertise in guiding my two children 8 and 10 years old and I as we trekked through the breathtaking and beautiful Badian area. They were so patient and treated my kids like their own as we navigated through the various cliff jumps and rock areas. They took so many great pictures too. THANK YOU again! ❤️ I highly recommend Cebu tours and these tour guides for any excursions in the Cebu area.

Swimming with Whalesharks - the Highlight of Our Trip! - We did a private tour of “Whaleshark Snorkeling and the Tumalog Waterfalls.” The whaleshark encounters were amazing. They just swim right by you with mouth wide open. It was the highlight of our trip. The day started at 3:00 am when our driver, Roy, picked us up at our hotel and drove us for 3 hours to the tour location while we slept in the car. At arrival our guide, Maristel, greeted us with big smile and full of energy. She basically did everything for us all day, from getting the tickets for the whaleshark encounter, getting us breakfast and lunch, renting fins and water camera, finding a guide to take pictures of us during the snorkeling, carrying things for us, helping us getting on motorbikes for the waterfalls, and endless little things all day. Meanwhile, Roy drove us back and forth between locations. Without them we would have been lost and confused 😅. They made all this possible!

Epic day - Pre-trip we named this day 'The Fun Day' and it certainly lived up to our expectations. The whale shark watching and the canyoneering were both incredible experiences. All of the staff at CebuTours were super friendly and helpful and our canyoneering guide, Albert, was a legend. To top it all off our driver, Josef, kept us entertained with jokes and stories throughout the many hours of driving.

Cool experience but a lot of annoyances - The Whale Shark swimming was great, but many of the other details left me frustrated. In full disclosure, the canyoneering was canceled due to high rain, I was reimbursed for the cost of this and feel content with that portion. We started the day with a 0330 pickup from our resort in Mactan. We asked the driver about breakfast, but he made no reference to the fact that we would get breakfast in Oslob, once we arrived. As a result we stopped at a pit stop, loaded up on packaged food, then got to the location for a surprise breakfast. This is fine, just annoying that it wasn’t communicated. After the 3-hr drive we arrived in Oslob. The first thing you have to do is stand in line to get a ticket (covered by the tour company) for a whale shark experience. Due to our stop along the way, we were actually quite late when getting a ticket number, so we had about a 4 hour wait from ticket pickup to tour. The first thing we did was get breakfast, which was covered by the company and fine (toast, egg, banana and jam). Afterwards we went to a waterfall nearby. This was fun, you could wade in the water and take pictures. We had to pay 50 pesos per person for this, which was mildly annoying, but not overly expensive. After the waterfall we went back to the whale shark area, where we had to wait for 90-min for a boat to take us out. Our tour guide told us we were number 189, but we were actually 198, which was annoying, but not the end of the world. Only about a 15 min delay. Swimming with the whale sharks was amazing. Afterwards, due to traffic, our return trip took 5-hrs. All things considered we spent 10 hours in a van or in a chair for 30-min of swimming and 45 min at a nice waterfall. Maybe it’s worth it to you, I’m personally on the fence. I would not recommend anyone stay in Mactan. There is no upside, staying in Cebu City or Lapu Lapu would make more sense. I wish my tour guide was more personable and talked more. I wish someone would have provided an overview of our itinerary so we could have planned meals or set expectations for my kids.
