15 Cebu Tours: Whale Sharks, Sardines and Kawasan

245 tours  ·  from $18 a head

Almost everything worth doing in Cebu is at least two hours from the city, which is why so many tours start before dawn. The 15 here cover Oslob, the Moalboal drop-off and the Kawasan gorge, with prices, pick-up times and a note on which ones try to do too much.

We are a family of 6 and got the private option. Highly recommend this tour, and get the GoPro option. Those guys know their stuff.
