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.

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(((

What an amazing day!! The sardine run was magical, tons of sardines and we actually got to see a big and beautiful turtle. The guides take your GoPro or camera and will get you under the water. The Kawasan Falls Canyoneering was a workout but in a good way. We chose to walk down, no Zipline for us. Our guides Rocio and Ricky were the BEST!! They made sure we were safe and had fun. They also filmed it all, one had our GoPro, the other had our phone. Truly an amazing adventure!! The only part of the trip that isn't great is getting there from Cebu/Lapu Lapu. The roads are bumpy and windy... luckily I took a motion sickness tab🤢. This trip was well worth the money and I highly recommend it!

The overall experience truly exceeded my expectations, especially during scuba diving, where the instructor guided us to various spots to see the magnificent sardine run, which was breathtaking. While snorkeling, the instructor even went out of their way to find sea turtles and swam with each of us one by one to see them. The driver was also wonderful. The people and scenery in Cebu are simply amazing!

They arrived on time, they were organized and tourist guide Dina kept us company the whole time. Dina was knowledgable and easy going, we had a great day! Would definitely book again. Our driver Kuya Jess was great too! We loved seeing the whalesharks, they were abundant that day. Sumilon was beautiful. And Tumalog falls was majestic!

I went to Moalboal through another company the day before, but since it was my first time in Cebu, I didn't know that Pescador Island was in Moalboal haha. But the result was that I was extremely satisfied with Klook! I booked here because it was the only program available for solo travelers, and it felt almost like an emperor's tour! The videos and photos turned out so, so pretty, and the photography skill is definitely professional-level compared to other companies! Thank you so much for your hard work, and may the two of you who made this the best trip ever be blessed ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for gifting me such a wonderfully happy day!
