Swim with Oslob whale sharks, visit Tumalog Falls, and snorkel with sardines and turtles in Moalboal on a full Cebu day trip.

“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.Cebu: Whale Sharks, Kawasan Falls, & Sardines Run Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

The guides were all very professional and went above and beyond to show us everything there was to see. The canyoneering is definitely challenging- wear very good shoes with a hard bottom-your feet and ankles will thank you! On our private tour, we had 7 guides for 7 people- we felt very safe!”

“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.”
