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 airbnb host arranged a driver to take us to Oslob to swim with whale sharks and then to Kawasan falls and the canyoneering adventure. I can't say enough about this company. Safety conscious, our guide Lando was assigned to just the two of us and went above an beyond to help me (a senior citizen in decent but not perfect shape) to complete the entire course, including jumping off cliffs and sliding down waterfalls. I noticed guides from other companies not observing all safety practices but Southbund's motto was safety first including top notch equipment. Note, you will traverse 8 km of rocky terrain with uneven slippery rocks, much of the time in the river. We also did the 950 m long zipline option, which was the first time we ziplined. Great fun, very, very high up above the valley. The food was great too. Probably the best experience of the six weeks we spent in the Philippines. Highly recommended.

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!

Our trip was a shared one , we knew this and pick up was on time, Guide gave short introduction at each stop then group had a set time before we moved on. Lunch was initially to be very early 11.30 am but we alll agreed to make the river cruise and lunch last stop after chocolate hills. Viewpoint needs 200 plus steps so not for the lesss mobile. Pity that quad bikes below disturb peace of site. Excellent buffet lunch and river trip with music and bankside cultural show. Good value and varied if you can spare a day off the beach.

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:-)

We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!
