Absolutely unforgettable experience - From the 3AM pickup to the ~7PM dropoff, this was easily one of the most exhausting yet memorable days of my life. I never thought I'd get to swim with whale sharks, tropical fish, sea turtles, and sardine runs, all in one day! Would highly recommend paying for the gopro and flippers rentals, especially if you know how to swim. Would also suggest bringing an extra towel/clothes, as you'll be in and out of the water all day. Special thanks to all my guides throughout the trip: Arnold, my driver, for driving me for hours from my hotel to each location and back Lynde, my whale shark tour guide, for leading me through the chaotic process, treating my first ever jellyfish sting (!), and making my day as comfortable as possible Benjie and his co-captain (whose name I didn't catch ;;), my island hopping tour guides, for leading me to the best turtle and sardine locations and taking so many amazing underwater photos and videos

Memories that will last forever - A bit of what to expect: Pick up: The day start at 4 am for me, my driver of the day -Bobby picked me up from my hotel lobby. Bobby have messaged me prior to the tour introduced himself and informed me about the pick up time! Bobby is an amazing driver, he made me feel very safe through the long drive, I was able to nap between of which making the early wake up very manageable! Whale shark watch: As many of the review, after the 3 hours drive/(sleep). I was greeted by my local guide -Ruby, she is lovely and informed me the itinerary of the morning. We went to the whale shark briefing, got my tickets because of bit of a queue. I had my breakfast which was lovely, banana, egg and toast with coffee ️ Since we got bit more time, we went to the Sumilon sandbar. Ruby kindly look after my bag when I explore the island! After visiting the sandbar, we return to the whale watch waiting gazebo, with a very short wait (I was able to sneak out and got myself some postcards whilst Ruby sat in the gazebo and looking after my belongings) We board the 'bangka' and paddle away to the spot. The whale sharks are gather at the spot for feeding and we were able to swim with them. I understand that there are many and better way to meet these gentle giant, but to me this is the accessible way at the moment. I am so so amazed by how they move and just took my breath away, and what an honour to be able to swim with them! After the whale shark watching, I have lunch and onward to Moalboal; a 2 hours drive. Moalboal:🐟 Arriving Moalboal, I was given a briefing from the tourism office. Soon after, I board bangka. First stop is the snorkel with the coral and fishes, where I found nemos! Second stop is the sardine run! They are just so so mesmerising, I can watch them all day!!! I also encounter some local teens trying spearfish the sardines, what an experience! Third stop, where I met the turtles! After the island hopping, I had a shower, and Bobby drop me off at my hotel! Thanks to Bobby, I was able to nap, I don't feel tired at all as the day ends! ☺️ As a solo traveller, I feel so safe and able to enjoy myself through the day! P.S.* I was told, almost instantly after booking the tour that Tumalog falls is close due to the dry season. Of which I was refunded. Ruby also informed me about the closure of the falls. Advise: If you are prone to sea sick you might want to take some medication/ remedies prior the tour! I have seen a lot of people being sick after the whale shark watch! Snacks & Drinks 🍓🫐🥤🍿 Waterproof camera 📷 They can be rent from different spot, but they do not include SIM card so be warn about that! I brought along my own waterproof camera and is one of the best decision when travelling to many of islands! Snorkel & Fins 🤿 I have my own snorkel but they are all available to rent! I would recommend renting the fins if you are able to use them as the current is quite strong! Tipping 💙 I had lots of conversation with the locals about their stories and life during my travel in the Philippines. From these conversation, I learnt that the Filipinos are hardworking and tough bunch, but I can also appreciate how much the tips will mean to them. So tip if you can as it will mean so much to them! Hope my review is helpful ☺️❤️

Amazing view of the wildlife of Cebu - The guide was super helpful and super nice. The entire day was planned for us as we visited all the nice places without stress of missing everything thanks to her and the driver. Would definitely recommend for a hassle free experience.

Great experience - It was an amazing tour. We saw the whale sharks, the sea turtles and the sardines. My highlight was seeing the whale sharks for the first time in my life. Snorkeling was great. Our tour guide Edna and our driver Abam were very helpful. Unfortunately the waterfalls were closed, but that was not their fault. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

A must-do in Cebu - They were so flexible to let us add a stop at Simala since Tumalog falls were closed (due to no water in the falls). We had experts at every stop and it was an amazing experience.

Good Trip! - It was an incredible experience to have the opportunity to swim alongside such magnificent creatures.

Amazing experience with Whale Sharks - Great experience and staff: we got to snorkel with whale sharks, turtles and a number of other sea creatures. The breakfast and lunch accommodated us with vegan options which was great. Definitely recommend this tour, our tour guide Gibgib was great and so was our driver Cyril

everything is beautiful and wonderful, a dream come true in an unimaginable paradise. our friend Bobby is a very special - Thank you so much for the wonderful and impeccable service during our tour! Everything was perfect, from the pick up time to the excellent guidance provided by our tour guide, Bobby. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting.

Fantastic and will do it again! - Our guides were fantastic! Traveling with a 5 yr old made it so easy cause at every spot, the tour guides took extra care and time with her, even got her to snorkel for the first time.

Don’t do this - The appalling service, sick driver, cruel animal treatment, we all arrived home with sickness and diarrhoea
