This was possibly the best tour we have done whilst travelling!! Incredible one in a lifetime experience with the whale sharks and then at Kasawan falls we had the best tour guide possible, his name is Daniel, nickname Toban, he kept our phone during the trek through the waterfalls and took the most amazing photos whilst we were able to actually enjoy the experience instead of trying to take photos ourselves, he was so friendly and funny! He kept checking on us during the tour to make sure we were okay as it is a very active one! This was a private tour with just the two of us and Daniel, I would highly recommend Daniel, we went away having had the best experience possible along with incredible photos and video to look back on. Thank you so much Daniel!

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

Our guide Dave was amazing, very nice and and he helped carrying our dry bag + took millions of photos and videos of us, a real pro They picked us up at the established time in a nice van too, driver waited for us to take us back. All great

We had a private tour for two which included a personal driver who was gigantic, a private guide at osmena peak and a private guide at kawasawen falls. Everything was just perfect

Without question, the best activity I've arranged on this website. Easy to navigate, friendly services and driver and unforgettable experiences made it a day I will never forget.
