“Was definitely worth the time and money spent. Grueling to start at 2am but realized the importance as soon as we got to Oslob. Our tour was very organized, and our driver Elizer was very good. 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. We had an amazing experience with the sharks, the turtles and the sardines. The Tumalag Falls was an incredible sight.”

2.Whale Sharks, Kawasan Falls, & Sardines Run Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 114 reviews · 8 hours · from $135

Review of Cebu’s whale shark, Kawasan Falls, and Moalboal sardines tour, with honest advice on timing, crowds, value, and what to bring.

“A unique day out with lots of variety. Be prepared for a long day. Our pickup was at 2am with a long drive to Oslob. When we got to Oslob we had to queue from 4:40am for an hour to get a ticket for the whale shark experience. Now this is necessary as it gets very busy and so essentially ensures you get on the boat earlier. We got out to the water about 7/7:30 am, the time goes quicker than you think. If you arrive after 5am I can see you having to wait much longer so although not necessary pleasant it is a blessing in disguise to leave…”

9.Sumilon Sand Bar, Whale Sharks & Sardines Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 15 reviews · 14 hours · from $126

Swim with Oslob whale sharks, visit Sumilon Sand Bar, and snorkel Moalboal’s sardine run on Cebu’s long, action-packed day tour.

“Giornata piena e molto soddisfacente. Abbiamo visto gli squali balena e nuotato con loro. Se da un lato è una roba molto turistica, dall’altro quando ti trovi a contatto con le balene ti rendi conto di quanto sia un’esperienza indimenticabile. Sumilon island molto belle, noi sfortunatamente abbiamo trovato un tempo non bellissimo. E in ultimo le tartarughe marine e il banco di sardine, davvero spettacolare. Unica nota, la mattina abbiamo aspettato 3 ore per prendere il biglietto ma penso sia la fila che si debba fare necessariamente per prendere parte all’attività.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 14 reviews · 12 hours · from $142

Review of Cebu’s Kawasan canyoneering and Moalboal turtle and sardine snorkeling tour, with practical tips on cost, timing, safety, and value.

“Kawasan Canyoning was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip! If you’re visiting Cebu, canyoning at Kawasan Falls is an absolute must-do. The mix of cliff jumps, turquoise waters, and stunning jungle scenery made every second unforgettable. A huge shoutout to Dante’s Peak, the team was incredible: professional, fun, and very safety-focused while still making the whole adventure exciting and relaxed. The delicious lunch at their waterfall location was the perfect way to recharge after the action-packed morning. In Moalboal, we also swam with sea turtles, which was such a peaceful and magical experience. To end the day, the Sardines Run was simply breathtaking — swimming among…”

Review of Cebu’s Moalboal snorkeling, Mantayupan Falls, and Barili ATV tour, with practical tips on value, timing, safety, and what to expect.

“My husband and I enjoyed this tour with Rey as our driver. He arrived early but did not rush us to come out. He was very kind and respectful the whole day. It was a far drive and an early start, but Rey was bright eyes and bushy tailed from the second we got in the car. He even suggested we stop for breakfast before our first activity. After all activities were done, Rey suggested a delicious place for lunch that specializes in Lechon. Would recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 8 reviews · 1 day · from $81Most for the money

Review of Cebu’s Oslob whale sharks, Sumilon sandbar, and Moalboal Sardine Run, with practical advice on timing, crowds, costs, and value.

“The driver was ok, the first guide was guiding a ton of different groups, there wasn't a guide for the second stop. Snorkeling guide in moalboal was fantastic. Whale shark viewing was very disillusioning, the visitors number in the thousands and are treated like cattle or worse. The whale sharks are led around by little boats with guys feeding them as if they're on leashes. You are not allowed to get more than a few feet from your boat or they yell at you and then they contradict that by yelling at you to get out of the way as they lead a shark straight at you, and when you…”
