A great experience and professional tour. Everything went great. We were picked up from the hotel on time at 3am. Our driver Joseph was just great! He was friendly, fun, provided us with a lot of information about Cebu and the tour and just took care of everything throughout the tour. I would recommend everyone to rent an underwater camera on site. The boatswain will then take beautiful photos of you while you are in the water. With us there were 200 photos. You only have to borrow the camera for € 9, then the photos will be transferred to your cell phone. Otherwise you can also borrow everything very cheaply on site. Life jacket and diving goggles are included. Everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout the tour. It was a very nice and special experience.

Please note that meals (breakfast or lunch) are not included!!! We had to pay for our meal and the driver's instructions did not include a meal budget. Other than that we loved seeing the whale sharks which are relatively small and the waterfall was stunning. Our driver was very nice and spoke decent English. We didn't like that the agency told the driver not to drive to the waterfall supposedly because of the rain and that they preferred to put us on motorbikes. The agency therefore prefers that its clients take the risk of having an accident by slipping in the rain. In addition we saw several cars going up and down at the waterfall so it was not dangerous for cars. The activities are not organized in advance but are booked on site.

started early morning at 3a.m. with our private tour, the weather was not really friendly to us but everything went smoothly and fantastic, thanks to our SUPER DRIVER ,our private guide" Guille" he made perfect our day a very kind person and very attentive. We enjoyed and satisfied with our whale sharks and waterfalls day tour, was a fantastic experience

The car was comfortable even though it was a 3/4hours drive to each side. Totally worth it! Our driver was very nice and the people from the boat as well! The shark-wales are amazing!! I would advice to bring a go-pro to be able to register the swim with the whale-sharks with good quality!

Take sneakers to the island. Travel well. Seems that you should get a given time for the homecoming m the boat from the island
