What a wonderful day out

Published on Aug, 2019

Our driver was on time (we weren't) and very professional. Had a great chat all the way to oslob, learnt quite a lot of things Google doesn't tell you. Whale shark watching was such an experience. We got in the water and watched them real close. Almost could touch them! But please don't. They're coast guards in scuba underwater watching you. Aguinid Falls was another amazing experience. We brought our 3yo with us, but surprisingly, the guide took fantastic care of her. Took a jump from level 4, which was real fun. Didn't yell like Tarzan. Was amazed we could actually climb up those rock walls. Really want to do this trip again. Thanks for the trip!

Will do again

Glad I booked through site. Was able to hire waterproof go-pro for 550 pesos. The whale shark site was very busy but the guide took us straight through the crowd to check in and then watched us until we were on the boat. The whale sharks actually bumped into me and it was good to see no one on my boat was attempting to touch or grab them. The bbq lunch was a table set up just for us under the coconut trees. At Aguinid Falls the 2 guides treated my daughter like their own child watching her every step, The guides too some amazing photos on our phone. Make sure to tip them as they are not paid. The transport was a late model van with excellent air conditioning. Am hoping to do this again next visit.

Great Experience

Published on Jul, 2018

I would recommend this as a good day out, I had some reservations about distressing the whale sharks after reading reviews elsewhere but, although there were a lot of people in the water, there didn't appear to be any problem and the animals themselves are not afraid of getting close to you. We were picked up (early) from our hotel in Cebu City and driven (3 hours?) to a resort where we were then transported to the departure beach. It is chaos there involving numbers, lifejackets, snorkels and boats, but we managed ok eventually. The boat takes you about 20 metres from the beach and you get in the water. The whale sharks are amazing and it is not a scary experience, on the contrary its very enjoyable and was over too quickly. Back on the boat, and back to the resort for onward transportation to the falls (maybe 30 minutes away). You will be given a guide to take you to the falls. These guys are volunteers and a 'tip' is advisable - they do a good job and will keep you safe and take all the photos you want so definitely worth it. The falls themselves are lovely, on 5 levels, you can do some jumps and swim around, nice experience. Footwear is mandatory as there are sharp rocks. Snacks are also available to buy when you get back to the car and we were taken back to the resort for a shower and lunch which was great - they managed to cater very well for a vegan diet and there was honestly too much food. Then its a 3-hour journey back to Cebu. In all you spend much more time driving than actually doing anything but its totally worth it and I would absolutely do this again.

Beware of the transportation from the parking lot to Aguinid Falls!

Published on Jun, 2018

The whale shark watching is a MUST for everyone (all ages)! But the Aguinid Falls could be a disaster for the elderly people and youngsters! Once you arrive at the main gate/parking lot, they put you on these motorcycles. The reason is that there is a stretch of approx 0.75 to 1Km road to the entrance of this falls. This stretch contains a few sharp turns and up and down a couple of steep hills. These motorcycle couriers do not waste their time transporting you from point A to point B. There are absolutely no safety equipment at all, they buzz back and forth between the park lot and the entrance way to make as much money as they can! So picture yourself on a motorcycle race through a rough T terrain course! The ride is only 5 minutes, but it was the scary ride of my wife's lifetime! Don't worry, just tell your guide you wish to walk from the parking lot to the entrance. We walked back to the parking lot, it was actually fun, we get to see more of the mountain scenery. As fro the falls, the water is very cold, so if you were wearing a wet suit while swimming with the whale sharks, keep the wet suit on, you will enjoy the swim at the falls much more! The water colour is milky, that's due to the limestone around the entire area. Enjoy!

Amazing day!

Published on Apr, 2018

This was one of my bucket list ticks and it was everything I wanted it to be! We where in the water with the sharks by 7am so it was fairly quiet. There were people in boats all around us but it wasn't overly crowded like some people have said in their reviews. I'm guessing it depends on the time of day you do the swim. We did it with Cebu Tours and they picked us up from our hotel at 4am and we got to the sharks for 6:30am. Had breakfast, a briefing about what to do and what not to do whilst around the sharks and then they took us out into the sea on boats. These creatures are spectacular, they are giant but graceful and I am so very happy I decided to do this trip.
