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…”
