★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 488 reviews · 14 hours · from $144

Review of Cebu’s 14-hour Bohol tour, with Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, Baclayon Church, ferry transfers, and a Loboc River lunch cruise.

“The tour was absolutely amazing! My driver was so friendly and professional, and he went out of his way to make sure I had the best day possible. He even took a detour so I could go snorkelling in Moalboal and try some delicious lechon. The activities were fantastic – I was fast-tracked for the whale watching, which made everything smooth and easy, and I even had a whole tour guide to myself for the canyoning experience. It was a long and tiring day, but every moment was worth it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!”

Cebu: Whale Shark Swim and Kawasan Canyoneering Tour

12.Whale Shark Swim and Kawasan Canyoneering Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 318 reviews · 1 day · from $106

Swim with whale sharks at sunrise, then tackle Kawasan Falls canyoneering in one demanding, memorable Cebu day tour.

“Both whale shark swimming and canyoneering activities were brilliant. Although the transport is very early, the day is fully worth it. The whale shark swimming was breathtaking but the water is very choppy, so we do not recommend little kids participating in that. The canyoneering was extremely fun and both our guides were safe and were also awesome cameramen. Fully recommend to anyone doing this, particularly as they help skip the wait for the whale sharks (arrived and in the water within 20 minutes).”

13.Hidden Beaches and Lagoons Boat Hopping Tour D

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 301 reviews · 7 hours · from $23

Explore El Nido’s Small Lagoon, quiet beaches, snorkeling spots, and Cadlao Island on a relaxed seven-hour boat tour.

“The small Lagoon was amazing! The fact the tour is not as popular was perfect as we got to be alone on certain beaches and in the small lagoon, avoiding all the crouds that some time ruin the place. Be careful of the extra costs! We paid 200 pesos for kayaks for each location, that is another 400 pesos in total, and with out the kayak you can not visit the small lagoon. Make sure you bring extra money!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 285 reviews · 8 hours · from $28

Review of Coron Tour A with Kayangan Lake, beaches, coral snorkeling, lunch, transfers, costs, drawbacks, and practical booking advice.

“We saw lots of amazing places, really enjoyed the day. Only thing I would say is you have to pay extra for the kayak & snorkel hire. The stops were quite quick but it meant we got to see more. We did get dropped off near a beach and was told to walk over the coral which I did not really like but the coral was all dead anyway probably from previous tours.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 260 reviews · 8 hours · from $32

Review of Coron’s 8-hour boat tour to Barracuda Lake, Twin Lagoon, Skeleton Wreck, Reef Garden, and Smith Beach for $32.

“Very enjoyable day out, some amazing sights. Nads and the whole team are brilliant and went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. Lunch was delicious too. Worth baring in mind that you have to pay for snorkel and kayak if you want it. You should definitely do this - as you’ll miss out on the best parts of the trip if you don’t. Boat is clean and well maintained and we felt very safe.”
