What you can expect

Your adventure begins with an early pick-up from your hotel in Cebu City, Mandaue, Talisay, Lapu-Lapu, or Moalboal between 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM. Since this is a group tour, pick-up times are arranged based on your hotel’s location to ensure smooth coordination. You’ll then enjoy a scenic 2-hour and 45-minute drive to Oslob, where our friendly local guide will assist you in securing a priority number for the whale shark activity—this is the official process in the area.

Once your number is secured, you’ll have some time to grab breakfast and relax while waiting for your turn. When your number is called, it’s time for the main highlight—you’ll have around 30 to 45 minutes to swim and snorkel with the gentle whale sharks, a magical moment you won’t forget.

After this, the journey continues with a 1 hour and 30-minute drive to Badian, where our canyoneering guides will be waiting to assist you. You’ll be geared up with safety equipment before taking a 10-minute ride to the briefing area, where a short 2-minute orientation will prepare you for the adventure. At this point, you'll be asked if you'd like to take the optional zipline—a thrilling way to start your canyoneering route!

Each guest is assigned one guide, ensuring your safety and a personalized experience. Once you reach the first jump, the real fun begins—expect around 3 hours of canyoneering through rivers, rocks, and waterfalls, ending at the iconic Kawasan Falls.

After the activity, a homemade Filipino lunch will be waiting for you at our beachside base camp—a perfect way to relax and enjoy the view. We also provide changing rooms and toilets where you can freshen up before heading back.

The drive back to your hotel will begin afterward, with travel time depending on your location and traffic conditions. It’s the perfect end to a full day of nature, adventure, and unforgettable memories in Cebu.
