Review for: Dolphin Watching/Sardine Run & Hinagdanan Cave Visit with Countryside Tour

Our guide was so helpful and friendly, she gave us a lot of helpful advice and information. Had a great experience swimming with the whale sharks! They’re huge but so friendly. Chocolate hills has some really nice views, short walk to the top. Enjoyed the tarsiers walk through too it was so interesting. The food on the cruise was very nice and I enjoyed the experience! The tour guide stopped at the ATV experience and we went on a buggy it was so much fun 🤩

We did a day tour with the baverly guide and driver as a group of 2. The guide and driver were very kind and took great care of us! Thanks to them, we were able to make many special memories and have a great tour~ It was great because we could eat local food, see sharks, and even see tarsier langurs👍🏻 If I visit again next time, I think I will book it again. Thank you💗

Definitely an amazing full day experience.The agency will contact you several time to be sure that you have all necessary informations. In the morning there was a car waiting with our great n hosting guide JR - Jay. It was just my bf and me - so we had have kind of a private tour, that was perfect. First stop were whale sharks-magnificent creatures. Following to Chicolate Hills, Tarshier sanctuary and river Loboc.... we definitely recommend this tour, n hope you'll enjoy the time as we did.

Whaleshark snorkling was much more exciting than I expected. It was a special experience to swim near that enormous animal. Robok river tour was great too with the beautiful nature sight seeing and live music in the big boat. The lunch was delicious too than I worried about.

The whale shark I was hoping for had to keep waiting because we had to go and join in, it was crazy because we all had to go together, they kept spraying food so we couldn't get a clear view, they just told us to get in the water so we couldn't even see a speck of dust, so we had to take pictures ourselves, and it's completely against taking the kids with us. . And above all, the shower facilities were so poor that I had to get water in a bucket and pour it out in the bathroom... Ha... I spent the whole day sightseeing in that uncomfortable condition... I don't know, so I don't know what to do. Other than that, on the Loboc River Cruise, the food was so-so, but the atmosphere and scenery were very nice. And it was nice that the guide found the tarsier.

There are whale sharks swimming around under your feet. It will be a truly unforgettable memory. You can also rent a GoPro. It costs 120 pesos. I can't guarantee the quality of the image. Just keep an eye on it. I went with my husband, and the guide was very kind and took charge of our day. ^^ It was difficult in the hot weather. I guess.. The tarsier is very small and cute.

The tour guide and driver picked us up at the hotel on time that day, and it was not a group tour, just the two of us. On the way, the tour guide was very enthusiastic about the attractions and itinerary, and also chatted with us until we reached Sa'fe (the place to watch whale sharks). , they let us go out to sea only after they confirmed that the whale sharks were still there (you can choose not to go into the water to watch it on the boat), and the staff will also try their best to let everyone see the boat up close. Lunch on the river: the meal is better than expected, and on the boat There are performances and the atmosphere is very comfortable~ Highly recommended for people who want to plan a day trip in a relaxed and comfortable way~

The original location Lily was too crowded. The tour guide directly changed to a location with fewer people. The whale shark was eating. The water at this location was clean and clear, and it didn’t have the smell of shrimp soup mentioned on the Internet. The viewing time was just a bit short, but the guide was super nice and kind. Even if it rained along the way, she was very flexible and helped us change the order of attractions. She kindly took photos for us throughout the entire process and did not let other business solicitors harass us. She also accompanied us to climb the Chocolate Mountain. The lunch on the river was also the most luxurious one. She gave her 100 points.
