Our tour guide was great to deal with during the tour and in the lead up. Quick responses to questions and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. It was a shame we couldn’t hike the volcano but we were still able to see the surrounding town and the ash was still being cleaned up. The falls was well worth it also with beautiful scenery. The only thing which annoyed us was at the falls everyone asks for tips so bring cash, we tipped the boat drivers and they asked for more. There are also people that come up to your boats in the water trying to sell you drinks etc and are very pushy.

Our trip started with a cancellation and then a no show which added to the journey time. Once out of Cebu City the roads are terrible so it was a very uncomfortable 2 hours. We arrived to chaos and frankly given how crowded you are on the boat as well in the water, it is simply not worth it. Too many people in the water vying for their video or picture. The Whale Sharks were delightful but only for a half hour. The waterfall was the same, crowded and uninspiring. The trip back took 5 hours as traffic was awful. I don't recommend this at all. I know people have to make money and they are all very nice but it simply isn't worth it.

This is a 3.5 = Pretty good. the guides were kind and resourceful. For the price this was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, the snorkling and island were beautiful. The guides did not actually know much about the islands or the environment, but were good people who need jobs. The boat was leaking diesel and they had to repair the engine several times. I didn't blame them, but the tour operator definitely needs more sustainable boats, it just does not make sense to send gas leaking, oily boats out into such beauty. Tourists - take a bit more time and find the highest rated green and in terms of guide training!
