★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 665 reviews · 16 hours · from $124Our pick

Start before dawn for whale shark swimming in Oslob, then head to Badian for lunch and a three-hour Kawasan Falls canyoneering run. Local guides such as Ray, Ronaldo, Marcello, and Jordan help with jumps, photos, and safety. Expect a 16-hour day, long road time, possible whale shark delays, and an optional zipline.

“Fantastic tour and well worth the early pickup. I had some reservations about how busy it would be, but perfect. So many people make your day up from Francis our excellent driver, looking after us for 14 hours, and the team at the whale watching experience who get you organized and in the water as fast as can be achieved .. for us 6:20am.. superb experience. Definitely go for the go pro option and take your own snorkel if you can as you don't get the tube which makes layout about for longer tricky. Then off to the Canyoneering which was one of the best things we have done for…”

He made our journey smooth and enjoyable. Gliza was incredibly hospitable, ensuring we were well taken care of and guiding us seamlessly through every location. I recommend both of these individuals.

“So here’s my review of this trip. We got picked up from our hotel (Plantation Bay Resort) around 3am by our driver Ludz. He explained to us how far the ride to Oslob would be which usually around 3 hrs. We ran into a road block in the middle of the road so he had to reroute us. Me and my fiance was able to sleep still even though we didn’t get to Oslob till around 7am. We got our tickets but we had to wait which I didn’t mind since it was packed! So many people were excited just as we were to swim with the majestical whale sharks.…”

8.Oslob Whale Shark & Tumalog Falls & Kawasan Falls Canyoneering

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 84 reviews · from $197

You’ll leave Cebu before dawn in a private air-conditioned vehicle, swim with Oslob whale sharks, cool off at Tumalog Falls, then tackle four hours of canyoneering to Kawasan Falls. Guides such as Jayson, Sam2x, Ramel, and Toni are praised for safety, photos, and humor. Expect a thrilling but tiring 16-hour day with long road time.

“Awesome tour! Very professional and well organized. The whale shark experience was phenomenal. The canyoneering is NOT for those out of shape or uncoordinated. I’m a 53 year old former United States Marine and was exhausted at the end of it. My only complaint is the tipping culture. Would rather have Cebu Tours raise prices than have an ambiguous but expected - and in some cases “hassling” - tipping environment.”
