The driver was fantastic! Very thoughtful and entertaining, making our trip in Cebu comfortable and enjoyable. The activities were also a lot of fun, every part of the itinerary was interesting, and the guide provided was very humorous. They also looked out for our safety and helped us capture many classic, great-looking videos and photos! It felt very safe and fun; we definitely made the right choice with this tour.

very early morning activity but lucky to have had a driver who drove smoothly and safe the whole 3 hour journey to Oslob. had such a fun experience doing the canyoneering. The instructors were fun, helpful, and just good vibes in general. Kawasan Falls was so beautiful. Would really recommend anyone visiting Cebu to try out this activity. As for the whale shark, it was okay. Great first time experience, but it was abit too crowded but great experience overall.

It was great experience from booking to pickup to the whale watching itself, our driver Kuya Joramie was very friendly and accomodating. he drove with utmost safety and care. ate Malyn who helped us during the whale watching was very kind to look after our stuff, ensure we get the queue and have an amazing experience. Kuya Joramie was very kind to do a stop over in Carcar for us to buy some lechon Cebu! awesome and flawless experience all in all.

Booking a private tour is a bit more expensive, but it's well worth the money. The sardine storm was amazing with a 2-to-3 ratio of guides to guests. They took great care of us, and even if you're not a strong swimmer, you feel completely secure. The 1-on-1 river trekking was so much fun, featuring thrilling waterfall cliff jumping—an incredible experience overall. The driver was extremely conscientious and responsible; he drove for 4 hours through heavy return traffic and even went out of his way to drop us off at a restaurant, working overtime for us. I highly recommend this kind of tour for solo female travelers or groups of girls, as it is very safe. Included lunch was pretty good too, featuring a fried chicken drumstick 🍗.

Kuya Daniel, our driver, was incredibly kind, friendly, and always greeted us with a smile. He was easy to talk to, fun to joke with, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. As first-timers, we really enjoyed swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob. We appreciated that Kuya Daniel suggested doing the activity before breakfast since we arrived early. One small suggestion: it would have been helpful if the guide (don’t know the name) had recommended bringing or renting snorkeling gear. Goggles were provided, but snorkeling gear would have made it much easier to fully enjoy seeing the whale sharks underwater. The canyoneering tour was the highlight! Kuya Joel and Ate Dy were amazing — friendly, attentive, and always prioritized our safety. Ate Dy captured so many great photos and videos, while Kuya Joel encouraged me to conquer my fear and even jumped with me twice! Highly recommend this wonderful team!

The hotel is exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a prime location in Ayala that makes everything easily accessible. It’s just a 10–15 minute walk to Ayala Center Cebu, and there’s a nearby park that’s perfect for walking or running. A 7‑Eleven right beside the hotel adds extra convenience.
I tried their in‑room dining service and was pleasantly surprised—the food was both affordable and delicious. I also appreciated the free water refilling stations available on every floor. The staff and management were very accommodating and understanding, which made my stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Cebu.

What to know before visiting Cebu City
Quick snapshot of Cebu City and what to expect
Cebu City is a lively island gateway where zoo and aquarium visits, guided tours and outdoor activities dominate bookings, with attraction passes and museums also popular. Demand has clear highs and lows through the year, so the city’s rhythm ranges from busy peak weeks to much quieter months. Expect a mix of short attractions and active outdoor experiences to shape most itineraries.
When to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in February and falls to a low in December, so peak-season atmosphere is strongest in February while December is relatively quiet. Price data tells a slightly different story: July is typically the priciest month on Klook, while March is usually the cheapest, so the months with lowest prices don’t exactly match the busiest month. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for March or December; if you want peak-season energy and the liveliest atmosphere, visit in February, but note prices often climb toward mid-year peaks like July.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most experiences in Cebu City on Klook are booked very close to travel — typical lead time is about a day, with last-minute bookings common and early bookers often securing spots around four days ahead. That makes the destination easy for flexible or spontaneous trips from Australia, though if you plan to travel in February or July it’s wise to lock in popular tours a few days earlier. Use Klook to check availability and secure activities a few days before departure for peace of mind.
