Cebu’s big ocean day starts before dawn. This trip packs three major sights into one outing: swimming beside Oslob’s whale sharks, cooling off at Tumalog Falls, and snorkeling through Moalboal’s famous sardine run. I like the variety, and I like that breakfast, lunch, transport, entrance fees, and snorkeling gear are included. The catch is the … Read more
Start early, finish amazed. This full-day Cebu trip packs three very different encounters into one long outing: whale sharks in Oslob, playful monkeys, and Moalboal’s famous sardine run with sea turtles. I like the small group limit of six, plus hotel pickup and drop-off from Cebu, Mandaue, or Lapu-Lapu City. I also like the free … Read more

Put your head underwater, and keep walking. This unusual Boracay activity lets you stroll about 10 feet below the surface with a clear helmet supplying compressed air, so you can see coral and colorful fish without wearing a scuba suit or knowing how to swim confidently. I especially like the calm, guided setup and the … Read more
Your first breath underwater changes the holiday. This three-hour Boracay scuba experience gives beginners a careful introduction to the sea, with classroom instruction, shallow-water practice, a boat trip, and a guided underwater session down to about 6 meters. I like the calm, step-by-step training, and I like that photos, videos, and a completion certificate are … Read more
