Reviews
Reviews summaryKuya 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!
We had an amazing time on this tour and enjoyed every moment. The Oslob Whale Shark Watching experience and the canyoneering adventure were both very well organized. Our driver, Rudel, picked us up from the hotel at 2:00 AM sharp and was punctual, friendly, and efficient throughout the trip. Swimming with the whale sharks was truly unforgettable, and the canyoneering was just as incredible. Zac was an outstanding guide during the canyoneering he helped us navigate the trek safely and took loads of photos for us along the way. He was friendly, supportive, and excellent at what he does. We highly recommend this tour to future travelers looking for an exciting and memorable experience 🤗
Rudy, our cab driver picked up from hotel by 145am, very considerate and patient person. Throughout the trip, he was super cheerful, and helpful with all our requests. Canyoneering is the best experience, totally recommend for an adventure freak, the whole path is about 6kms where there's sliding, jumping off multiple heights (2m/3m/5m/7m/10m), our guide Jerald is super enthusiastic guy and amazing photographer. We'd love to tag with him in our future adventurous experiences, he's amazing with directions and talked about the path in detail, very optimistic guy. Whale shark experience, I'd recommend people to rent a GoPro, or even better go scuba, the sharks are very near to us.
A spectacular activity. The canyonerring was loads of fun but quite physically demanding. Tom and team from McRich Travel & Tours took excellent care of us and the photographers were amazing. Highly recommended. Thank you.
the tour was amazing. They pick you up very early but is completaly worth. Swimming with the whale shark is incredible but the best was the canionyring with the guides that took us a lot of wonderful photos.
not so much about whale shark experience as for an inexperienced person having all diving gears, it was rather meh…canyoneering experience was the best. the 1-1 tour guide took good care on every step! even all photos and video are greatly took by them! they were so friendly and its almost immediately we became friend…
The staff there is very professional and they take care of you on every step there. It’s a memorable and super fun activities! Worth every pesos I paid. The only cons there is the shower afterwards. The number of shower rooms is not sufficient compared to the number of people. And the small waterproof bag to keep your phone and money would be great, they have a retail for food in the middle of canyoneering. Please also prepare some extra money, GoPro to rent at oslob is 550 php and this includes the staff on the boat that will go down to take picture and video for you. And for zipline at canyoneering is 600 php. All of them are optional though. You can bring your own GoPro as well or buy waterproof for phone and take a picture by yourself. At canyoneering you can choose to walk 30 - 40 mins to the first jumping point instead of taking the zipline with 8 mins walk.
Sleep deprivation is for sure worth it! The wait for the whale shark wasn't too bad and too long. People were queuing with discipline. The centre opened at 6am while we managed to get on the boat at 630am, really not bad. Whale shark watching is definitely a life experience. It was absolutely beautiful! Whale sharks were swimming in the shallow coast foraging and being fed only in the early morning, thats why the tour must be crazily early. Our boat tourists were again disciplined keeping distance to appreciate this creature. Moving on to the canyoneering, the two guides were absolutely amazing! Very caring and friendly. They tried their best to show the beauty of the landscape and guide us step by step even it's slippery and bumpy. Whole experience was fun and safe. Every jump was fun and encouraging, it was never be pushy or having any negative feeling. Guides would brief before every jump and demonstrated. With additional php60 per person,you could enjoy a zipline experience, so why not? Just thankful for such an unforgettable memory. Highly recommend!!!
very organize... we really enjoy our tour thanks also to kuya kevin for assisting us on oslob whalesharke snorkling and for the team of kuya tam for our badian canyoneering.. we recomend kuya jason as photographer, his very good in taking picture...
