Swimming with whale shark, turtles and sardines. - Absolutely amazing experience from pick up to drop off. Big day with 2am pick up but was well worth it. We swam with the whale sharks, turtles and sardines. Waterfalls were stunning and the fish spa was so relaxing. The guides went above and beyond to make the whole experience fantastic. Totally recommended

Fantastic day out from Cebu City - This is a great day trip if you are staying in Cebu City. You will have to spend some time getting from your hotel to the port, and back, at the end of the trip, but this is completely normal, anywhere. Don't believe the negative reviews here. The driver is excellent, as are the guys on the boat. Lunch was excellent! I had a great day and very much enjoyed the trip. It was worth the money.

Snorkeling trip - The boat crew are absolutely fantastic and go out of their way to make sure the guests are happy and enjoying themselves. One even gave his sandals to a passenger to use because she did not have any water footwear and the ground was filled with rocks.

A great way to spend a morning - We really enjoyed our day, we had a boat all to ourselves and it was a very chilled experience. The snorkelling was good and the islands were pretty. The lunch was simple but tasty. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was value for money for us as a couple but not sure it would be worth it for a whole family.

Good tour to discover 3 islands from Mactan - The tour was fairly well organised and in line with the description. The time on each stop was appropriate, the lunch provided was tasty, and our captain was nice. Things to know: - The tour starts from Cordova (southern tip of Mactan Island) which is far from most hotels (30 minutes' drive from the Shangri-La) - The crew speaks very little English, so do not expect a lot of explanation - Bring your own snorkelling equipment: the one provided is low quality - At the first stop, a fisherman/lifeguard (?) oversold us on fresh seafood. Just skip it, not worth it.

Bad experience - The guide was not very helpful just on his phone and talking to what appeared to be family on board. Our seafood lunch was left out in the sunshine for about three hours on the boat before lunch so we didn’t eat it for fear of food poisoning It was very difficult to get on and off the boat at the two islands we stopped at the first island there was no option to get off at all We did a couple of trips in KL last year and they were excellent. This trip was expensive and a waste of money and a days holiday

Food poisoning bonanza awaits - Food left out for 4 hours in hot weather. We did not eat it in fear of food poisoning. Contacted supplier who stated no other tours had reported an outbreak but I’m sure they will come tomorrow

Absolute Disaster – Unsafe, Disorganised and a Total Rip-Off - This was hands down the worst tour experience I have ever had, and I strongly believe it should be removed from Viator immediately. To start, we were picked up 1.5 hours late with zero communication. No message, no update, nothing. We spent a fortune making phone calls just trying to find out if anyone was coming. When we finally reached the port, it was the same story — no one knew what was happening, no instructions, no organisation, and no atmosphere whatsoever. Lunch was an absolute health risk. The food was placed out on the table long before we were told to eat, sitting in the hot sun for hours. We didn’t eat until 1:30pm, after it had been sitting out the entire time. Completely unacceptable and honestly unsafe. The tour advertised three islands included, but when we got to the third, we were told we had to pay extra to go there. That is false advertising and a blatant rip-off. The boat itself felt unsafe. The motor did not work properly, and it took us 1.5 hours just to get back. We were literally the only boat out on the ocean, which made the whole situation even more frightening. Passengers were genuinely scared, and I honestly felt like something could go seriously wrong. On top of all this, staff spoke virtually no English, so we couldn’t even communicate concerns or ask basic questions. There was no professionalism, no organisation, and absolutely no regard for safety or customer experience. Do NOT book this tour. Ever. It was overpriced, poorly run, unsafe, and completely misrepresented. This operator should be investigated and removed from the platform.
