Bus ride from the Nambu Bus Terminal. One night stay after the Oslob and Tumalog Falls tour. There were some bugs, but it was so great. I want to visit again, haha. However, the food prices are a bit high. If you drink alcohol, try to use the happy hour.

I was paired with my driver Nino and my guide Liza both were absolutely amazing in every way very nice, super informative, and just made the entire day a better experience. I would definitely recommend this tour Liza stayed by our side the whole time and made the experience hassle and stress free. Nino was one of the best drivers I ever had.

I was picked up at 2 AM and was able to swim smoothly with the whale sharks. After that, I had breakfast and went sightseeing at Tagalog Falls and the Simala Church. I returned to the hotel at 1:30 PM. It was slightly different from the plan, but I'm glad I enjoyed it. The only additional expense was the tip.

Great 4.0

The hotel transfer service was great and arrived on time. The instructor's careful teaching allowed even first-time divers to feel comfortable and confident in the water. I will definitely choose this package again to bring friends to play in the future. I hope you can provide a schedule online for everyone to see.

Great logistics arrangements. Driver Paul was on time to pick us up from hotel at 3am and drove safely to Oslob taking only a 10-minute break during the 3 hour drive from Mactan Island to the whale shark watching site. Our tour guide Maxine was cheerful, helpful and took great photos for us. Swimming with whale sharks was a great experience. We felt safe and well taken care of all the way. After getting back on the beach Paul and Maxine took us to a nearby restaurant with shower facilities (think big pail of running tap water with a scoop). Got to do a quick shower before change into clean clothes before setting on our return to Mactan Island Cebu. We didn’t opt for Tumalog Falls. Thank you for great service!
