Canyoneer through Cebu’s Matutinao River with waterfall jumps, rope swings, safety gear, guides, hotel transfers, and a Filipino lunch.

“This trip exceeded our expectations. We were picked up slightly delayed in the morning, headed to collected our safety equipment of helmet, life vest and water shoes before we headed to the falls. We had an optional Zipline for 700 peso per person which we did at the start and loved. Then the real fun began. It was roughly one guide per two people meaning you felt super looked after and safe at all times. We had Jerry who was amazing giving us proper princess treatment, having laughs with us, keeping us safe and was a phenomenal photographer (at the place you get your safety equipment you can by a…”

Zipline above Cebu’s jungle, swim and cliff-jump through Kawasan Falls, then enjoy Filipino lunch with sea views on a guided day trip.

“The zip line and canyoning was great. The only downside was that the we set the departure time from Cebu city at 6 am and the driver didn’t show up. After calling and messaging the tour operator we finally departed at 7:30 and the traffic was horrible. We did 4 hours on the way and 4 hours back to hotel.”

“Our driver, Francis was on time for our 5 am pick up. The car was clean and he was so good about letting us stop when we asked for coffee & fresh buko. Our three guides, one for each person in our group met us immediately and go us ready. We chose to walk to the falls instead of zip lining. Warning- that walk is mostly uphill and can be slippery. Guides- Jerome, Jay, and J(the last name I’m failing at remembering), I’m sorry. We’re great! They supported our decisions for when and when not to jump off the rocks. They filmed us and were so friendly. Would absolutely do…”

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

Review of Cebu's whale sharks, Kawasan Falls, and Moalboal sardine run, with honest advice on timing, crowds, cost, and what to bring.

“I think this is the only tour that offers the whale shark, canyoneering, and sardine run packaged all together. It was a very long day but most tours only do two out of three of these activities so splitting it up between two days would have also been a pain since it's about 3 hrs of driving each way. Everything was really great. You do need to go with another person to get the advertised price, but it was basically almost a private tour as we didn't have anybody else with us. I highly recommend doing the canyoneering add on. We were picked up promptly at 2am and got back…”

Swim with Moalboal sardines and turtles, then tackle Kawasan Falls jumps, slides, and turquoise pools on a long but thrilling Cebu day trip.

“I initially booked this when there were no reviews, taking a gamble as it was one of the few tours that offered a Cebu City pick up as well as the sardine run add on. It was a long day but we'll worth it. I messaged the provider on Whatsapp the day before to confirm and they offered pick up from our Airbnb (even though it was slightly outside the 2km radius). Pick up was set for 6-6.15am and the van arrived around 6.20. It took about 2.5 hours to get to Moalboal where we had the most incredible experience with sardines and turtles all around us! Even though this…”

“Our tour guide Roy and Benji were amazing! They were so patient and attentive. They looked after our safety and took great photos 😀. I suggest to separate the snorkeling with sardines and sea turtles though. The combined trip was too tiring for a couple who are in their 50s!”

Swim with guaranteed whale sharks in Oslob, then tackle Kawasan Falls canyoneering on a long, thrilling Cebu day trip.

“This day trip was the most enjoyable and fascinating part of our vacation. We had to wake up early to travel all the way to Oslob for whale shark watching. It would be best if you arrive there before 5am as there were already a lot of people queuing up for registration. The registration area was not well organised so it was actually a bit confusing about where to go. It is best to stick with the tour guide. Despite so it was breathtaking when seeing the whale shark in a close distance. After watching the whale sharks we went to the Kawasan Falls and we absolutely enjoyed the canyoneering…”

Swim with sardines and turtles, then tackle Badian’s canyon jumps and Kawasan Falls on a private, full-day Cebu adventure.

“Our day started off a little slow, not a lot of communication from the 1st guide about where we were heading first and the activities. Although after the first stop and seeing the turtles and sardines, the day was off to a great start. The Canyoneering was definitely the best part of the day. It was very fun with a lot of sights to see, water to swim/jump in and the tour guides were amazing! Overall I would recommend because the canyoneering and the falls are the best part.”
