A fantastic day from dawn to dusk. I was picked up from my Cebu City Hotel at 2:15am in a nice minivan with 5 other passengers and arrived at Oslob For the Whale Shark watching around 5:45 after 1 stop at 7 eleven for coffee. After getting our allocated time slot on an FCFS basis we got out on the boat around an hour later. It was fantastic to see these animals in the water and you can hire a go-pro for 550 php which a guide will use to video you and the whale shark. After some average breakfast (wasn’t expecting much) we went on to the canyoneering which was another 90 minute drive. You’re then kitted out in shoes / jacket / helmet and given a guide. You can trek to the falls or take a zip line. I opted for the latter which was great fun. The guide took my phone and took some amazing videos and pictures of the day. It was a superb tour and would highly recommend it. I arrived back at my hotel around 7pm so a long day but very much worth it.
Jobert was great.Everyone was really helpful.Whale shark was it so much what I was expecting but guys in canyoneering was more then I was expecting!
Good experience.
Great choices for a short time in cebu
Picked up on time at 2.15am. We arrived early but there was already a long queue. But the wait was worth it. We have got a good fun with the Whale. Weather was helping after a terrible 3 day raining session. Kawasaki falls was quite an x sport. 4 hours of crossing the river, jumping off cliff, swimming, forest trekking, etc. It was intensive but full of fun. The guide Zack was excellent. Lastly I want to commend of our driver Francis. He was a careful and fun to talk to. He knew his way around. Highly recommend.
We made the booking from Australia for our first trip to The Phillipines for my family and friends for 6 people and it turned out to be the most disappointing day of our holidays.Extremely disappointed with the way the whole tour was organised. Both the activities as such were spectacular. The en route driver Eliza and guide at Kawasan - Ladie were very good as well. On arrival at Oslob there was no clear instructions as to what to do and where to go, lack of basic toilet facilities for ladies, no changing rooms and the breakfast was provided in a shack in the most unhygienic conditions. There was no provision for the vegetarian meal for my wife as requested and confirmed. The same thing happened for lunch in Kawasan. Either Pelago should not have such unprofessional tour operators on their list or I should start looking someplace else for future booking.
