“Overall, it was a wonderful and unique experience. The day started early, specifically at 0200, but it was worth it. Our driver wanted to ensure we got to the whale shark site early enough to get our tickets and begin early. Our driver, all the guides, were terrific, very kind, and experts in their craft when it came to driving us across Cebu, getting us to each locations on time, and connecting us with the next person to kindly help us get to the falls and the ocean to swim with the turtles and sardines. Highly recommend. Once in a lifetime opportunity to do all that in one day. Also,…”

“Sardine run and canyoneering were amazing. We weren’t able to do the other snorkel site due to weather which was disappointing. There was a very long day with driving times, due to the crazy traffic on the way back through. So if you’re not someone that enjoys being in a car for long periods or get motion sick, that is worth considering.”
