I was worried at first because I hadn't received any word from them for a few days after booking but apparently their office is closed on the weekends. The trip however turned out to be wonderful and well organized. Roy was very knowledgeable and informative as well as personable. He kept us on track and back to the port right on time. This tour really hits the highlights of Bohol I would definitely recommend them. I would also recommend bringing a wrap of some sort for the ferry ride because it does get quite cool in the cabin despite the heat outside:-)

My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!

Reviewed By ikjm

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!

We had the most amazing day canyoneering from start to finish with Cyan adventures! It’s worth every single penny as the equipment is much better quality than any other tours we saw throughout the day. I was very thankful for the wetsuit and protective gear especially when we saw people with scrapes from the rocks and also it does get quite cold in the water after a while so the wet suit helped. Ren our guide was fantastic a real credit to the company. Nothing was too much trouble, he helped me navigate the rocks and took loads of photos and videos of us throughout the day. It’s quiet at the minute so it ended up just being me and my husband on the tour. Ren could have easily rushed us through but he made sure we took in the scenery and didn’t rush us at any point. In fact he made sure we had breaks including a snack half way through and lunch at the end, which was very tasty! We’d 100% book with Cyan again and recommend everyone else to!

We had a blast, raw adventure with motorbike ride, zipline and short jungle walk to the start of Kawasan waterfalls, serene nature with clear water and fish in the river you can see clearly. Michael and Daniel our private guide was awesome, careful instructions on how to hike the rivers and also spots to and how to jump from the falls, they are kind and careful, great conversation and also helped us take photos all the way.
