Amazing experience! - Sir Nathaniel was an excellent driver for our day's adventure! We had an unforgettable experience seeing the whale shark and enjoyed canyoneering with a personal guide for each of us. Ziplining through to get to the falls is a must and so fun!

Comfortable, fun and memorable! - It was a fun filled trip with lots of good surprises! Having been to Cebu I didn’t expect much but the trip to the south made a huge difference. I like that we can go on our own pace and the driver was very pro active on suggesting things or making an adjustment for us to maximize our time in many of the spots we visited.

Flawless experience despite waking up at 1:30am - Shoutouts to the driver Nataniel i dont know how he's able to drive us to each place in these long hours. As for the experience, at first I was very worried and wasn't sure what to bring or do but the tour guides were very helpful. To pack up for the day, make sure to leave your passport at your hotel somewhere very secure and safe. Ensure to bring: your phone, power bank, wallet with plenty of cash, sunscreen and towel. Wear: t-shirt with swimming trunks and sandles/flipflops/crocs. For the whale shark experience, leave everything in the car (even your phone and wallet)! If you want to film, just rent a GoPro there its very cheap and you can upload it to your phone and pay later after the experience. For the remaining experience, only bring your phone. The tour guides will 100% make sure NOT to drop your phone in the water by mistake, and will take pictures and videos for you! Highly recommended for those who wants to make this a day trip all the way from Cebu city, and will be willing to wake up at 1:30am. Thank you so much again for this flawless and unforgettable experience.

A perfect experience for... - A perfect experience for anyone seeking adventure while taking in the natural beauty of Cebu. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and truly memorable. Our driver and guides were exceptionally patient, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. During the canyoneering, the guides went above and beyond—carrying our gear, ensuring our safety, and even capturing stunning photos of our experience so we could fully enjoy the moment. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cebu and looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Great tour to book solo or with mates - Was a great tour to go on thanks to the guides help and our driver Lepar, who did his best to get us between the tours and even stopped to let us get some snacks on the way. Couldn't recommend him enough for the drive.

Safe, Punctual, and Incredibly Patient Driver for a Long Day Trip - Had a great experience with Nathaniel as our driver for the Oslob and Badian canyoneering trip. He was punctual, drove very safely, and made the whole journey feel smooth and stress free. He was also very kind and patient throughout what was clearly a long and demanding day, from the very early pickup to the evening return. Really appreciated his professionalism and positive attitude. Highly recommended!

A must do - Challenging experience to do only if you are perfectly fit. Please note the following feedback is not the tour operator'e fault, but the local attraction organisation's. The whale shark encounter was a bit disappointing, too crowded and 1 poor confined by net shark. From the dock there are 10/12 boat for each trip going there and like 100 people altogether in the water trying (sometimes unsuccessfully because of the crowd) to take a picture or swim around it. Maybe a little less profit it could help the animal and the customer too. By 5 am there were already thousands of people. What changed completely the mood was the kawasan falls tour. The driver (always very kind and professional) takes you to the mountain where an amazing team welcomes you with smile and kindness, gives you the necessary and mandatory gear and breafs you before you start. I don't know where to start but in short: zipline (optional but recommended) with incredible view; a little trekking in the untouched nature; dives, natural water slides on the rocks, caves, Jurassic park scenarios, fresh and cold turquoise water (very appreciated considering the temperature and the quite warm water of the ocean) . And last but not least the team: so gentle and kind, one of them kept my phone for the whole journey (4 hours) and took around 100 between pictures and videos. We had and elder with us and one of them stayed all the time next to him making sure he didn't fall and everything was ok; we also had children and they were so attentive and careful. However, if you really want to enjoy as I said above make sure you are fit or at least in a group where mostly are fitI'll give 8/10 and I definitely recommend to try it at least once in your life. Thanks Geronimo and Marlon (sorry to the other guys if I don't remember your names but you were as great as team). PS through your journey you will smell and find scenic little food and drink mini stand allocated literally on the rocks, and don't worry if you don't bring cash with you (for obvious reasons) ; you can pay later. At the end you will also have a cozy Filipino lunch, overseeing the ocean, which is always nice. Keep it up, I'll see you again.
