We had an amazing whale shark watching experience in Oslob with my dad. We’re visiting from Canada and this trip meant a lot to us. Our guide Belle was amazing, very professional, organized, and kind throughout the day. My dad is 55 and had injured his ankle earlier in the trip, but the team was very patient and accommodating so he could still enjoy everything. We also stopped at Tumalog Falls and riding motorcycles to the falls and back was so fun. We had such a great time and made wonderful memories together. Highly recommend this tour.

The canyoneering tour at Badian and Kawasan Falls in Cebu was absolutely incredible! I never expected this ordinary mountain rafting trip to be so unique and unforgettable. The scenery is breathtaking, the waterfalls are stunningly impressive, and the water is crystal clear and pristine. During the tour, I also met two lovely new friends. We took photos together, explored the canyon hand in hand, and had such a wonderful time chatting and laughing along the way. This route is perfect for water lovers and adventure seekers. I highly recommend this experience to every traveler visiting Cebu. If I get the chance, I will definitely bring my family and friends back here again.

It was challenging for first timers like us but still, it was worth to try. Bring extra pants/shirts and socks because it might be wet after slipping many times. 🤣

Kuya 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!

The driving was safe and comfortable, and the guide was knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts and making every stop enjoyable. They were also patient, helpful, and always willing to answer our questions. Their excellent service made our trip smooth, memorable, and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great travel experience.

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.

This was a fun tour. We had two different drivers—Sir Alvin in Cebu & Sir PJ in Bohol— both were excellent & very accommodating to our requests. Sir Alvin was friendly and very thoughtful—he even checked in on us after the tour to ask how our day went, which we really appreciated. Sir PJ, our driver in Bohol, was also very engaging. He didn’t just drive us around—he shared interesting historical insights about the places we visited, which made the experience more meaningful. He’s also great at taking tourist photos, which was a nice bonus! PROS: Seamless transfers from our Cebu hotel to the port, then to Bohol, and back. The travel agency was easy to communicate with and provided all driver deets a day before the trip. We got tourist seats. CONS: The ferry travel takes about 2 hours each way (around 4 hours total), which can eat into your tour time. If there are ferry delays—as we experienced—the itinerary may feel a bit rushed.

What to know before visiting Cebu City

A quick snapshot of Cebu City and its highlights

Cebu City draws most Klook bookings for zoos & aquariums, tours and outdoor activities, with attraction passes and museums also popular. Demand rises and falls through the year, peaking around September and dropping to its lowest in November, so the city’s visitor rhythm swings between lively and quieter months.

When to visit: seasons, crowds and prices

Klook data shows the busiest month is typically September, while November is the quietest. Prices peak earlier in August and then fall through the final quarter, reaching their typical low in December. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for November or December; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and don’t mind higher rates, visit around August–September. Note that demand and price don’t move exactly together here: demand peaks in September but prices are highest in August, so you can sometimes find slightly lower prices during the busiest month.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore book quite close to travel: Klook’s data suggests booking just a day or two ahead is common, with many last-minute options available and only a small advantage from booking several days earlier. For peak-month travel (August–September), consider securing popular tours or passes a few days in advance to avoid sold-out time slots. Use Klook to compare options and lock in activities once your dates are set — it’s easy to book shortly before departure if your plans stay flexible.
