Snorkeling to see whale sharks is a great experience; the guide will arrange everything.
Oslob Whale Shark SnorkelingA big thank you to Kendi for his kindness, valuable advice, and thoughtful gestures. We wholeheartedly recommend this guide for a customized tour of Cebu Island (snorkeling, City tour...) He'll know just how to guide you!
Custom Cebu TourWe had such a wonderful experience! Our guide was so much fun, very friendly, and an excellent storyteller. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole trip, and we felt like we were in good hands. There were quite a few bumpy roads along the way, but our driver was very skilled and drove safely and smoothly. We also really appreciated all the thoughtful touches, such as having water available for us.
JIRA, the tour guide, and the driver were very nice.
We booked a private tour of Bohol, and it was a wonderful day. Our guide, Mayan, was very kind and adjusted to my elderly mother's pace. She was also attentive to our photography needs, allowing us to take many great pictures.
