Magellan's Cross tours

We had a great time on this tour! Our driver, Sir/Kuya Otoy, was excellent—very easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating. We were a group of five with two seniors, so I requested a lighter itinerary to make the trip more comfortable. Instead of following the full original schedule, we just opted for the following : visited Simala, bought pasalubong in Carcar, had lunch at House of Lechon, then continued to Sirao, Temple of Leah, and TOPS. He was very flexible and supportive of our adjustments. He’s also a skilled driver—we had a smooth ride throughout (no one felt dizzy), and he navigated the routes really well. The travel agency was also responsive and easy to coordinate with. They provided all the necessary details a day before the trip, which made everything seamless.

The best booking agency EVER!!! Don’t hesitate and book this three day adventure!!!! Even though our third day has been canceled due to the typhoon coming our driver Elizer has been absolutely phenomenal! He kept us informed, safe, kind, funny, and all of the above! His driving is incredible! Along with our other tour guides, Kristine who helped us through our first day at the city tour, she was so informative and kind! Our canyoneering activity was led by the two most amazing guides that kept me and my 65 year old dad as safe as could be and we had the most fun! Ken and Jobert were incredible they deserve the most applaus, that is not an easy journey to tour people down the falls and they did that with excellence and precision, still while maintaining our safety and ensuring we had fun! Ken is newer with 6 months under his belt but it was like he was doing this for years! His mom that cooked us our meal before we went was INCREDIBLE! We appreciate you so much! And are so thankful!

4-day trip to Cebu and Bantayan Island | The perfect combination of culture and adventure This four-day trip to Cebu and Bantayan Island in the Philippines is the most unforgettable one of my travel experiences. From cultural exploration to extreme adventures, there are surprises every day that make you linger. On the first day, our tour guide Cristina was very friendly and professional. Not only did she pick us up on time, she also patiently introduced the local culture and history, allowing us to have a deeper understanding of Cebu. Our driver Marito was also very responsible. The car was clean and comfortable, and the whole journey made us feel safe. The encounter with whale sharks in Oslob on the second day was unforgettable. Although we were a little nervous at first, under the guidance of our guide, we completed the snorkeling experience safely and happily. The following Moalboal island hopping trip is a dream trip. The sea water is clear and transparent, and the corals and tropical fish are as beautiful as postcards. The Carnival Mountain Falls Canyon Adventure that afternoon was challenging but well worth it. The beautiful scenery along the way and the thrill of sliding in the water are definitely not to be missed (it is recommended that you have basic physical fitness before participating). On the last day in Bantayan Island, we visited Omagieca Camp Sawi and felt the local natural healing atmosphere; then we enjoyed the quiet time with white sand and blue sea view at Paradise Beach. Virgin Island's island hopping itinerary is also a highlight, and each island has its own unique style. The trip includes private transportation, entrance fees, snorkeling and canyoning equipment, and even a well-prepared lunch. If you want to enhance your experience, you can also rent a GoPro or try ziplining. Friendly reminder: It is recommended to bring a waterproof bag, sunscreen and change of clothes, as canyon exploration will really make you wet all over! The accommodation arrangement was very reasonable, and we could rest near the itinerary every night to save transportation time. Overall, this is a journey full of surprises and adventures. Whether you love nature or are looking for relaxation, you can find your own happiness in Cebu and Bantayan Island. I highly recommend Cristina and the driver Marito, they are the soul figures who made the journey smooth and warm!

Our driver in Cebu, Owen, provided attentive and dedicated service. He always made sure to drop us off right at the door, and he was always willing to help us with any questions or issues we had 👍! We had a very happy and safe canyoneering experience. There were 7 of us in total (3 children + 2 slightly scared moms + 2 dads). We rented two GoPros from them, and they had a total of 9 instructors who accompanied us throughout the three-hour canyoneering trip. The whole experience was fun and funny. They were worried we might get hurt when the water was too rapid, so they often used themselves as human shields to ensure we could enjoy the water safely. Thank you so much to the instructors! The boatmen at the whale shark encounter were also great at taking pictures. The whale sharks were so big and cute, definitely worth seeing 👍.

We availed the private tour, and Kuya Dansel was our driver, who also acted as a tour guide and photographer. He was very accommodating and full of energy. We also stopped at a souvenir shop. Overall, the city tour was good.

Nice quick and easy tour to do. Pick the morning tour to avoid traffic. Tour takes you to various highlights. Make sure you follow dress code for basilica, shorts or ripped jeans not allowed so missed out on seeing the Basilica.

Kuya Phillip was very knowledgeable and my husband appreciates all the historical tidbits that he have shared with us.

It’s unfortunate that transfer vehicle upgrade was necessary for comfort when they’re aware of the number of guests and that the travel time will take 3-4 hours one way. (We did not upgrade because of the extra cost!) Everything else is perfect though! We really appreciate the travel agency’s flexibility when we informed them that we have issues on our flight. The tour guides on our canyoneering activity were also top-notch! They were absolutely entertaining and experienced! Hope to book them again on our return to Cebu!
