Hassle Free in booking and redeeming your voucher. Upon arrival at the hotel, head over to The Clubhouse to register and redeem your voucher. Make sure to bring a valid form of ID to check out towels and if you want a locker. The hotel grounds are well kept. The pool, although not the biggest but it is situated facing the ocean. Amazing! There was a bitnof a crowd when I arrived before 1000, but it quickly thinned out at around 1100. You fo have access to the private beach also. Both have loungers and umbrella set up. Lunch at Benjarong Thai was an experience! Food was not the best and authentic but the presentation and ambience was on point. I ended up getting a massage at Namm Spa and it was great decision. The Weekend Day Pass was money well spent! The staff from the Clubhouse to the restaurant and at Namm Spa was warm, welcoming and just made my whole experience a memorable one.

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.

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(((

We had a great time on this tour! Our driver, Sir/Kuya Otoy, was excellent—very easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating. We were a group of five with two seniors, so I requested a lighter itinerary to make the trip more comfortable. Instead of following the full original schedule, we just opted for the following : visited Simala, bought pasalubong in Carcar, had lunch at House of Lechon, then continued to Sirao, Temple of Leah, and TOPS. He was very flexible and supportive of our adjustments. He’s also a skilled driver—we had a smooth ride throughout (no one felt dizzy), and he navigated the routes really well. The travel agency was also responsive and easy to coordinate with. They provided all the necessary details a day before the trip, which made everything seamless.

The easiest way in is typically Outdoor & sports activities, at around PHP 238. Tours show the widest choice — prices vary by about PHP 3,925 between the lower and upper ranges, so you’ll find both budget and splurge options. Based on Klook booking data, August 2025 – July 2026.

1 daysLast-minute

1 daysTypical

4 daysEarly

Bookings are typically made about 1 day in advance, offering flexibility for last-minute plans; during December (the peak month) that still means popular experiences can fill fast, so book sooner rather than later. Based on Klook booking data, February 2026 – July 2026.

What to expect in Cebu City

The things-to-do catalogue in Cebu City is led by Zoos & aquariums, then Tours, Outdoor & sports activities, Museums and Attraction passes, giving you a mix of family-friendly attractions, guided experiences and active outdoor options. That spread means travellers can easily combine a wildlife visit or museum stop with a tour or an outdoor activity depending on pace and budget. Demand peaks in December and eases to its quietest in September, so expect the busiest selection and booking pressure in December and a much quieter booking scene in September.

How to choose which experiences

A key choice is whether you want the widest variety of options or a simple affordable entry: pick variety versus simplicity when you decide. Tours offer the widest range, from around PHP 1,843 typical to upper-end options at PHP 5,768, while Outdoor & sports activities sit at the most affordable typical price of PHP 238 and are the easiest way to fill gaps in an itinerary.

Also consider how much shopping around helps: Tours have a broad price spread so comparing options can find very different experiences, whereas Zoos & aquariums and Museums have narrower ranges (typical prices around PHP 714 and PHP 297 respectively), so price-shopping gains less. Attraction passes sit mid-to-upper and can bundle value for visitors planning multiple stops.

When travellers from the Philippines book

Most travellers book at the last minute — typically 1 day ahead — so nothing usually needs months of lead time. Early planners start around 4 days ahead, and that extra cushion helps most during the busiest month of December when demand is highest.

How prices compare across categories

The table below shows how the city's top categories compare on price so you can place a budget before choosing.

Category	Typical Price	Usual Range
Zoos & aquariums	PHP 714	PHP 654 – 833
Tours	PHP 3,271	PHP 1,843 – 5,768
Outdoor & sports activities	PHP 238	PHP 238 – 357
Museums	PHP 297	PHP 178 – 357
Attraction passes	PHP 2,022	PHP 714 – 2,081

Typical price is the median paid on Klook; the usual range covers the middle half of bookings, so cheaper and pricier options exist outside it; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, August 2025 – July 2026.
