Sir Mark of McRich is easy to talk to. Kuya Marlon was our driver. He. arrived 30 minutes earlier. Smooth driving, not too slow, not too fast. Unfortunately, we didnt see the whaleshark nor embark on a boat. Sir Mark advised that they will process partial refund. We will wait for that. then we went to Tumalog falls, had our lunch then went to Moalboal. all our guides were professional and funny. we had so much fun. this tour is worth it even though we were sad that our Russian guests didnt encounter any whalesharks(((

I had a very valuable experience. The instructors were very kind and made an effort to understand my poor English. Also, the facility is located within a secure area with security guards, so I felt very safe leaving my belongings unattended, knowing they would be looked after. For those participating, a heads-up and information sharing: there is an additional fuel charge. There were no photos taken from the boat below during parasailing, but it seemed like they would take them if requested, so it's best to tell the boat staff before your flight. After parasailing, you can swim in the ocean for free within the facility. Goggles were also available for rent. I didn't go, but there seemed to be some restaurants as well.

Our tour guide and driver was navtina (I think that’s how you spell her name) and Gilbert the driver - they were so friendly and accomodating to us and got us to the place safely. the snorkeling in Marlboal was incredible , particularly swimming with the turtles and sardines. we did however get stung by jellyfish which was painful so best to wear a rash vest! the next activity was canyoning to Kawasan Falls - our local tour guide expert was Sisilio - he was great too! he took some amazing shots of us and made sure we were well looked after. lastly, the lunch was so delicious! would highly recommend this tour and activity, it was such a memorable experience for us all the way from Sydney! 10/10

Fun Cebu Tour is the best choice to see what the Philippines has to offer. Our tour guide Mae was always taking care of us, she was helpful to find good deals and remove any stress from our day. The Whale Shark and Sardine Run is a must see adventure while visiting Cebu!!!
