Whaleshark & Canyoneering Tour

Swimming with whale sharks, canyoneering, and visiting Kawasan Falls all in one day.

The beauty of Cebu truly comes alive when one district in the southern part of the island captures the interest of those in search of extraordinary adventures, offering a unique escape from the confines of nature and history. It’s an ultimate experience shared with beloved and gentle giants. You can find the whale sharks, or as the locals call them, ‘Butanding,’ in Oslob, located 117 kilometers south of the city of Cebu. At the end of the whale shark tour, you can transition to a canyoneering adventure.

The canyoneering tour and the Kawasan Falls in Cebu offer a sensory overload experience for anyone who has tried it until today. In this tour, we will start at a point that is about an hour from Moalboal, where the company vehicle will drop you off, and in just about 5 minutes of walking from there, the fun begins. You’ll receive a helmet and a life jacket and jump into the water for a journey through pools, some of which are up to 10 meters deep. You’ll swim with the current and enjoy an amazing wild nature experience! After about 3.5 hours, we’ll exit at the famous Kawasan Falls reserve. To conclude the tour, we’ll have lunch at the end of the trip.
