Encontro com Tubarões-Baleia, Banco de Areia de Sumilon e Cânionismo nas Cataratas de Kawasan

It’s unfortunate that transfer vehicle upgrade was necessary for comfort when they’re aware of the number of guests and that the travel time will take 3-4 hours one way. (We did not upgrade because of the extra cost!) Everything else is perfect though! We really appreciate the travel agency’s flexibility when we informed them that we have issues on our flight. The tour guides on our canyoneering activity were also top-notch! They were absolutely entertaining and experienced! Hope to book them again on our return to Cebu!

To get straight to the point, I wholeheartedly recommend it! Everything was perfect, from the whale sharks to the island with emerald-colored waters, and finally, the cascading waterfalls that served as the backdrop for Avatar. Among these, canyoneering left such a deep impression that I'd love to do it again. First, definitely try the zipline. There's an additional cost of about 500 pesos, but you absolutely won't regret it. Time flies as you spend about 3 hours crossing the valleys, diving, swinging, and swimming amidst waterfalls where rainbows appear. Especially when booking, I strongly recommend requesting guides ⭐️Lucas Rucas ⭐️ and ⭐️ Roel Roel ⭐️! They take incredibly good photos. They'll point out photo spots and expertly guide your poses. (Make sure to bring one waterproof phone case per person.) Even though we had just met, they created such a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere that I was actually sad to say goodbye after 3 hours. They even playfully spoke some Korean, like "Eobuba~ Annyeonghaseyo~" (Piggyback ride~ Hello~). The paths can be slippery and rough, but you don't need to worry. They provided 1:1 care to prevent falls and constantly held our hands, so I didn't feel anxious at all. When swinging, they knew spots where there were no people, so we didn't have to wait in line, and if I wanted to swim more, they patiently waited. Also, try suggesting a dive with your friendly guide. They'll hold onto you as you jump, doubling the fun. At the end, they even picked flowers from the roadside as a gift and saw us off. And now, a few tips. Since you'll be moving from morning to evening on the whale shark tour, your blood sugar might drop, so it's a good idea to bring some chocolate bars to eat in between. Also, since there's a lot of travel by car, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Furthermore, as you'll be moving around with a wet body, a large towel to cover yourself is essential. Other than that, they prepare everything for you, so all you have to do is enjoy yourselves to the fullest! I hope everyone has a fantastic experience. Lucas Rucas 🩷🩷 Roel Roel 🩷🩷 are the best!!!!!!

Our tour guides were fantastic. Our driver, Nelo, was great and drove us safely everywhere. Our Oslob tour guide, Angelo, was also very attentive. He stayed with us throughout, explained everything in detail, and helped carry our belongings everywhere. Our canyoneering guides, Marlo and Roel, were also fabulous. They always prioritized our safety, were funny, and joked a lot. They even helped prepay for everything so we didn't need to bring cash.

The tour was unforgettable! The tour guides helped accommodate me (solo) without hesitation, they arranged everything (e.g., transportation, entrance, pictures/videos, etc.) at each of the locations so I had a breezy experience! I got to take so many awe-inspiring photos. Definitely convenient and would recommend anyone to book this tour who doesn't want to have any stress or hassle during their trips.

Toda la excursión estuvo bien planificada y ejecutada según lo previsto. Nuestra guía Amelia es digna de elogio por su profesionalidad y por planificar el día meticulosamente en Oslob. Nos dio los consejos y sugerencias adecuados para que fuera un día memorable para nosotros. Recomiendo encarecidamente Island Tours por organizar el viaje tan bien. Se tuvieron en cuenta nuestras necesidades dietéticas. Cada vez que envío un correo electrónico, responden en cuestión de minutos. ¡Qué gran equipo de personas!

Many thanks to our tour guides for this trip. Em Em who assisted us for whale shark encounter and Sumilon sandbar. She’s very nice and helpful. Our 3 handsome guides for canyoneering namely Arjay, Marlo and Alberta (how they called him 🤣) they’re very good trio and we enjoyed much. They took care of us always and very attentive to our needs specially my guide Arjay 😊. They are all very funny that’s why the whole journey was a success and worth remembering. Took many nice videos and pics for us too. Again many thanks to all.

Donna and Ai-Ai were amazing guides. They made us feel comfortable and planned the entire day wonderfully. The canyoneering guide was also amazing. A big shout-out to all of them! Ai picked us up directly from the hotel without any delay and even ahead of schedule. The Badian Canyoneering was the biggest highlight of this tour, truly worth every penny. When you're in Cebu, definitely connect with them for a tour. Do carry a little extra cash with you. Also, they are all amazing photographers and videographers, capturing every moment of your trip without hesitation. They do it with so much passion. You don't even have to ask them. They were humble enough to carry our luggage for us so that we could fully enjoy our tour.

We booked a private tour with hotel pick-up and drop-off, and it was very convenient. Our driver and tour guide were very accommodating. Breakfast overlooking the whale shark encounter was amazing with the sunrise, snorkeling with the fish at the sandbar was so amazing, and swimming with the whale sharks was incredible. Our tour guide made sure to keep our belongings safe and took tons of pictures at each spot, especially Tumalog Falls, which is a must-see!

Jerson, el conductor, y Kim, la guía para el tiburón ballena y la primera parte del tour, fueron excelentes. El clima obstaculizó nuestro día y no pudimos hacer el barranquismo, que fue una de las razones por las que elegimos este paquete. Presta atención al clima y ten en cuenta que esto afectará lo que puedas hacer, incluido el nado con tiburones ballena. Aparte de eso, todo fue genial. La experiencia con el tiburón ballena fue absolutamente increíble, te recomiendo gastar los 550 PHP para la GoPro. Vale mucho la pena, ya que la gente del barco tomará videos y fotos increíbles mientras estás en el agua y tendrás tiempo para tomar tus propias fotos. Estamos muy contentos de haber hecho el tour privado debido al clima. Fue muy personal y Kim nos cuidó muy bien. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

We can't recommend this trip enough! It was such a fun and beautiful trip - the scenery at the canyoneering was unlike anything I've seen before. Nelo was the best driver - he drove quickly but safely to our destinations and as mentioned in the other reviews, he was quiet so that we could sleep through our first car ride but then was happy to answer any questions we had later in the afternoon. Leigh-Beth, our first tour guide at the whale shark spot, the waterfalls, and the sandbar was amazing and deserves a raise! She worked her magic and got us on the first boat possible to see the whale sharks which we were super grateful for. She was respectful, kind, professional, and did a wonderful job of joining our conversation when we asked her questions, but allowing us to mingle on our own as well. Roy and Albert at the cayoneering activity was the best as well - Roy was jumping and running around tirelessly to capture our whole experience. He took the best videos and photos, and they both took great care of us - ensuring our path to each of the spots was safe. The canyoneering activity was so much fun - we did cliff jumping, going down natural water slides, swimming underneath a waterfall, and more. This was our favorite day from our Cebu trip - don't miss out!
