“Guides were excellent, took great care of us & were very entertaining! Guille was there early to pick us up at our accommodation in a very comfortable air- conditioned bus.

Swim with Moalboal turtles, watch the sardine run, and cool off at 98-meter Mantayupan Falls on this private Cebu day trip.
“Overall the experience was cool, but that had less to do with the tour provider and guides than the actual activity itself. We had a driver/guides who spoke little English, if they even attempted to communicate. Little to no clarity around instruction. Our boat failed halfway through, but they got it working again. We were surprised to miss our third stop on the boat tour - again, no communication from the guides. The activities themselves were cool as hell, and the additional gopro purchase was well worth the money. The falls are gorgeous, and worth the addition. We really enjoyed it as a private tour with just us, and at…”
Review of Cebu’s Oslob whale sharks, Inambakan Falls, and Moalboal Sardine Run, with honest advice on value, timing, ethics, and logistics.
“Avis mitigé. L’excursion pour voir les baleines est un attrape touristes. Les baleines ont l’air d’être enfermées dans des filets & elles sont nourries à longueur de journée par les pêcheurs pour divertir les touristes. A FUIR. C’est la partie que nous n’avons pas apprécié. Néanmoins, le reste de la journée a été super. Cascades, petit déjeuner très léger & pas beaucoup de choix, déjeuner correct, activités pour voir les sardines et tortues très sympa. Un immense merci à Michael, notre guide qui a été adorable, un excellent chauffeur avec une superbe playlist !! Activité un peu trop chère à mon goût.”

“Raul was very timely, kind and informative on our trip. He was very flexible with the weather and did everything to make sure we got to do the activities we paid for.

“I did this tour the other day (29.03.25) and had a great time. Got picked up directly from my hotel bang on time which is nice, the driver was very friendly/ nice which is good particularly when it's a long journey. Both the sardine run and the canyoneering where a good time. sardine run was very impressive to see. The canyoneering was also a very pretty setting, and a fun time. Both guides where fantastic, friendly people who went above and beyond with getting photos etc. Fully recommend this trip :) I had a great day”
