I was not able to swim with the whale sharks do to weather. However, Josef was an amazing driver / guide and he did everything possible to make the best of the rest of the trip. He is a fantastic driver and made sure I was comfortable/ happy all day.

The whole trip was amazing. I would say the Whale Shark encounter was the highlight of our all day trip, but the last stop at Tumalog Falls was absolutely breathtaking!
It is worth noting that our guide for the day, Diana Rose, was much more than fantastic and was very helpful throughout our experience. You should really give that girl a raise in salary!

Lifetime experience with amazing guides
Raphal_D, Oct 2022
I don’t provide feedback often, although in this case it is definitely worth.
The tour content is as good as described on the web and the logistics very well manage by the tour operators ( information about optional additional cost upfront, share driver contact number day before, answer specific questions, etc… ).
Beside the trip itself, the staff make it fabulous and magical. They as simply amazing! It is all about kindness and friendliness. They are caring at all time :
- I stay in Mactan ( island next to CEBU city), my driver, Obet, was here to pick me up 30 mins earlier than expected with smile and positive energy. The journey to Oslob is about 3h30 but along the way there is nice local scenes to discover by the windows. Also Obet speaks good English which is good to get some information about Philippines culture.
- Once arrived at Oslob, Julie Ann, my guide for the first part of the day was waiting for me. She is a sunshine ! She brings me to breakfast and debrief me about the agenda which consists of seing the Whaleshark, visite the Sumilon bar ( small island 15 mins by boat) then take a motorcycle to visit the Tumalog fall and eventually eat lunch. Julie Ann makes the entire experience enjoyable, helping with the photo, making sure I’m comfortable and safe, advising on what best to do to experience the situation the best.
- After lunch back to road (1h30) with Obet to visit the Kawasan Falls with canyoning option ( please do not let got the option !! It is only 1200 pesos and a lifetime experience). This time Arjay was waiting for me : a young man with lots of energy, and once again, full of heart and kindness. After a short motorcycle ride to climb the mountain, the trail start (3-4hours). A little bit of walk with beautiful surroundings, then you reach the falls : a preserved environment that only the Typhon has slightly damage. From there it is lot of enjoyment with sources water, jumping cliffs from 5 to 12 meters, swimming racing against Arjay ( too fast for me ! ). Arjay helps with the picture but also we had a great connection which makes is converse all the way about our respective life. Once again, like for Obet and Julie, Arjay level of english is very good which makes it easy to create a good relationship.
- Eventually the day has to have a ends, and i meet once again Obet who was waiting for me, for the ride back to my hotel ( with the evening traffic, took 4h30)
Something worth to mention : all the people who take care of me were full of candour and kindness; they are not looking for money, they simply want to do their job the best they can.
I was lucky to have a perfect weather but even with some rain, i’m sure this day trip is worth the money. I understand they adjust with alternative experience in the same area.
Thank you to the tour operators but most importantly to Obet, Julie Ann and Arjay for your kindness and professionalism. You were all the real sunshines of my day !
Response from Host, Oct 2022
nice, thank you so much for this wonderful review, appreciate it so much, will surely let Julie Ann, Obet and Arjay know about this.
The ultimate day of adventure!
Hannah_P, Oct 2022
What an amazing experience! Start to finish, this trip was so well organised and our tour guides (and amazing driver Arnold) were so safe, kind and friendly. We decided to upgrade to canyoneering which was a great decision and we made memories that will last a lifetime!
