What people are saying about Badian

Swimming with the whale sharks was better than my already high expectations! Due to flooding the days before we were unable to do the canyoneering but we’re taken to snorkel and see the sardines and turtles instead. Our driver Jave was the best, super friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend if visiting Cebu

Seeing the whale sharks was the highlight of the excursion. They had to cancel the Kawasaki falls portion but made up for it with the island hoping. And the restaurant our guide took us to was so cute and delicious.

Amazing day from start to finish. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to the whale sharks, then to the mountains for canyoneering. It’s a long day, but worth it.

I think it's a fun tour where you can enjoy an extraordinary experience!

The driver and the tour guy provided outstanding service.
