About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nicosamneil0 contributionsExpensiveExpensive but if you got the money then try the experience, worth it for the extra money you have. Might be crowded on some daysWritten September 8, 2024
- masayoy2210 contributionsMeaningful moment in cebuThe guide was fluent in our language, Japanese, and his stories and jokes were all good. We were able to learn a lot about the country and the areaWritten August 22, 2024
- emmanuellM8866XV0 contributionsSee the more famous landmarks of CebuCharmel was an amazing guide - aside from her knowledge of the history and venues, she also gave local inputs for tourists when asked. Thank you! Glad to have had a chance to see the famous landmarks in Cebu - Basilica de Sto Nino, Cathedral of Cebu, Cebu Monument, Magellans Cross and the Taoist Temple....just was not too interested in the oldest house - the Yap-San Diego House. It would also have been great to add the Temple of Leah to the itinerary. The weather was just a personal challenge because it was too hot for us (as should be expected during summer months). Suggestion: Maybe provide a free cold water bottle to provide relief?Written May 14, 2024
- J4937EWlucyn0 contributionsAbsolutely AstonishingHello team, Thank you so much for this tour. I was driven by Chennie and Carlo. They were so good and accomodating to my needs. Kept me entertained all day and drove me exactly where we needed to go swiftly and safely. The Tour it self was absolutely astonishing. It was a last minute decision for me to go on the this tour and I’m 100% do not regret it. Well worth it.Written May 2, 2023
- 00RSN000 contributionspriceyThe price per person was fifty-something dollars, if you were booking alone. I found it too high given that it only includes three short visits to three locations, They provide hotel pickups from sleeted locations, which is good.Written December 22, 2022

- José Torremadé B0 contributionsI am still waiting for the refundOSLOB WHALE SHARK ENCOUNTER SHARED TOUR BOOKING NO: 774491411 I had bought this tour from Cebu Trip Tours, which according to their website was with the possibility of cancellation and on February 13, 2020 I requested the cancellation. They replied that in 20-30 working day they would make the refund, but to date, it has not been made. I have been sending several emails, at first with a response apologizing and begging me to be patient that the refund would be made. More than 6 months have passed, they still do not refund the tour and now they do not even respond to my emails.Written August 31, 2020
- SKBritt0 contributionsGreat attractions but just hire a private car & driver.I have no complaints about the trip, I just think that having a guide and a driver was overkill and we probably therefore paid over the odds. The guide, lovely and polite as she was, added little to the experience as she actually slept more of the long journey than we did ourselves and didn't interact that much compared to other guides we have had. The driver on the other hand was an absolute star getting us there and back safely and in not too bad a time considering the distance/conditions/traffic. Unfortunately we couldn't do one of the islands due to rough water but the Sardine run was amazing to see. Wall to wall super shoals of sardines glimmering in the water, topped off with turtles too...and a few jelly fish, nothing too painful though. I do think they should start restricting numbers better as the area is full of boats coming and going with lots of none swimmers being towed around in the water with no control of their own. It felt a little like an accident waiting to happen. Kawasan falls is lovely, if a little underwhelming due to the crowds if I'm honest. Given it's massive build up I was just expecting something else, maybe we should have done the canyoning to get the full experience. The walk along the river to the falls is beautiful, the milky water beautiful too but there are many falls in Phillipines that are as if not more spectacular. Lunch was included and was plentiful and tasty fried chicken rice veg etc.Written March 5, 2020
- VictorM44210 contributions2 Top Attractions in CebuYou can swim with the whale sharks if you wish or stay on the boat for the elderly tourists. Either way it`s well worth a visit if you are in Cebu. It was quite a long trip to Kawasan Falls and we had to walk a long uphill route to get there from the road. But it was worth the effort just to experience the beauty of this place.Written February 29, 2020
- Tom B0 contributionsMactan Statue areaNot really a interesting place to go. It depicts the battle of Mactan with Magellan. Eateries around there, nothing special. small souvenir market on the square. Slums around that place.AirBnB nearby with nothing special neither.Written February 20, 2020
- gopher71990 contributionsMemorable experience viewing whalesharksWonderful opportunity to see the whalesharks up close. You get approximately 30 minutes in the water with the whalesharks moving back and forth in front of you eating. Expect to get kicked by a few other snorkelers. Kawasan falls are nice but nothing too remarkable. Recommendations for those considering this tour: It's a long day with a departure time of 3 a.m. If you are a solo traveler (like me), you will need to buy two tickets...which is understandable considering I was the only one on the tour...ended up being a private tour. Watershoes and underwater go pro (for those comfortable with free diving) are recommended for Oslob. I suggest keeping the time in Kawasan falls to just 40 min (excluding lunch) and requesting to visit Simala shrine on the way back to Cebu. This shrine looks like something out of Disney world and is worth a visit on your return. I was charged $10 to add this stop to the itinerary. Even with the stop at the Simala shrine, I was back at my hotel in Cebu by 2 p.m.Written February 4, 2020
- emmagC5126FJ0 contributionsThree hour trip in cebu cotyThis was a waste of money. The guide didn’t tell us anything about the places we visited. She just dropped us of and then we had to walk around looking for our self while she was sitting in the shadow on a chair. So it was definitely not a guided tour and it would have been a lot cheaper to just take a taxi and read about the places online - like we did anyways.Written January 26, 2020
- Garf390 contributionsGreat experienceI was picked up at 4am by my guide Chenerie and driver for the day Dado. It’s worth pointing out that the trip is solo for your group only. I was traveling solo so bought the minimum of two tickets and had the whole tour to myself. The experience was fantastic and ticked the bucket list delivering what it said and more, 3 turtles, sea snake etc. What really stood out for me was the first class service. Chanerie was an absolutely fantastic guide who made sure all was perfect and is very knowledgeable on the area and her country’s history filling the trip with little pieces of information on language, culture and history. Your very lucky if she is your group guide. As a driver Dado was faultless. A smooth ride except on the bumpy mountain roads and good company too. If your thinking of booking with this company I can’t recommend it highly enough. Ten out of ten.Written January 21, 2020
- Tal C0 contributionsShort VisitGo to the museum instead! When traveling in Asia, I like to have a guide to show me around and tell me about the history. What I didn't know, is that in most museums in the Philippines there is a local guide (for FREE) that will show you around and will tell you about the history and museum. The driver was nice and the guide was knowledgeable, but they sit and talk among them and drove us to the temple and a museum, where the local guide from the museum showed us around and told us about the museum and the history. You can do this tour by yourself. Most museums are free or very cheap.Written January 16, 2020
- migz7010 contributionsExperience of a life timeThis was our first major adventure for our honeymoon, and it did not disappoint. Despite numerous weather reports reporting rain and lighting, our tour went on as planned to a warm, clear day. Swimming with the whale sharks was an experience unlike any other. Tips for people visiting: If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend wearing a rash guard to protect yourself as the swimming with the sharks can cause your body to react with a rash. Everyone is different though, pack some of type allergy medicine for your trip as the rash can be a problem for some, especially if you are getting in the ocean time after time. Kawasan Falls was breathtaking as the walk to the falls helped to highlight the beauty of the area. Lunch was good, take some extra cash in case you get hungry or wish to buy souvenirs at each destination. Our guide was kind and kept us up to date with everything. She offered us suggestions in case Kawasan falls was shut down due to flooding and offered other options (be sure to have extra money on hand as the other options may cost a bit more). However, we were lucky and made it Kawasan falls before it was shut down as flooding started to occur.Written January 14, 2020
