Experience: I really enjoyed my experience at Cebu Ocean Park! 🐠🌊 There are so many different kinds of animals to see, but my favorite part was definitely the Oceanarium. Seeing all the fish swimming around made me feel like I was actually underwater! 🐟💙 I actually bought my ticket through Klook on the first day, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to bring my mom and dad the next day so they could also experience and witness the beauty of Cebu Ocean Park. 🥰🐠

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.

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.

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.

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

Quick snapshot of Cebu City and what to do

Cebu City is a lively gateway where most Klook bookings fall into zoos & aquariums, tours and outdoor & sports activities, so expect a mix of wildlife encounters, guided excursions and active days out. Demand data shows visitor numbers swing through the year, with clear busy and quiet months that shape when attractions feel most lively.

Best months to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows September is the busiest month while March is the quietest, so peak-season atmosphere arrives in September and demand tapers off toward March. Prices on Klook drift only modestly across the year: activity prices are typically highest in November and tend to be lowest around March, with March about 24% cheaper than November in past bookings. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, target March and the surrounding quieter months; if you prefer the peak-season buzz, aim for September when activity is at its liveliest. Overall, demand and prices mostly move together around the extremes: busy September does not come with the very highest prices, while November shows the priciest past activity rates despite not being the busiest month.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most experiences here can be booked at short notice — Klook’s typical booking pace is about a day in advance, with last-minute options available one day before. If you’re planning travel in the September peak, consider securing popular tours a few days earlier to lock in preferred times; otherwise, flexible, spontaneous booking on Klook works well for shorter trips.
