“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 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.…”

“The van was very cramped but as there were only 6 people we were all able to spread out a bit. We had 2 guides, Kenneth and another young man. They weren't good at telling us what happens next. ie the van stops and we all get out and just follow them, no explanation about a 2 minute walk, or 20 minute walk. It says you need hiking shoes but there actually isn't much hiking involved. Water shoes are much more useful. The first waterfall was disappointing but the 2nd and 3rd more than made up for it and were lovely. Overall a really enjoyable day out but could have…”

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

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

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.”
