Your adventure begins with an early pickup from Dumaguete or Dauin, followed by a quick ferry ride to Cebu. Relax and take in the sunrise as we travel down the scenic coastal roads toward Oslob, where the excitement begins.

Arriving in Oslob, you will receive a short briefing on responsible whale shark interactions before heading into the water for an unforgettable experience. Swim alongside these gentle giants, observing their massive yet graceful movements up close. This is a rare opportunity to see one of the ocean’s most incredible creatures in its natural habitat.

Note: Whale shark encounters are highly regulated to protect the animals. Touching or feeding them is strictly prohibited.

After your whale shark encounter, enjoy a hearty breakfast at a seaside café before heading to Badian for the next adventure. The drive offers incredible views of Cebu’s lush countryside and coastal cliffs.

Once we arrive in Badian, it is time to gear up for one of Cebu’s most thrilling activities—canyoneering. After a safety briefing and suiting up with helmets, life vests, and aqua shoes, you will begin your journey through canyons, waterfalls, and natural rock slides.

The adventure includes:

• Cliff jumps ranging from six to 30 feet (optional but highly recommended)
• Swimming through hidden lagoons and emerald pools
• Sliding down smooth rock formations carved by nature over thousands of years
• Ending with a refreshing dip at the famous Kawasan Falls, where you can swim in its stunning turquoise waters

After an adrenaline-filled morning, relax and recharge with a delicious local lunch. Enjoy fresh seafood, grilled meats, and tropical fruits while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

Next, we head to Moalboal, a snorkeler’s paradise. A short boat ride brings you to Panagsama Beach, where you will witness the legendary Sardine Run—a mesmerizing sight as millions of sardines move together in shimmering, synchronized formations. This is one of the few places in the world where this phenomenon happens year-round.

Moalboal is also home to sea turtles, which are often spotted gliding gracefully through the reefs. Snorkel among vibrant coral gardens, colorful fish, and other marine life as you explore the underwater beauty of Cebu.

As the sun sets, we make our way back to the ferry terminal for the return trip to Negros Island. Sit back and relax after an incredible day of adventure, arriving back at your hotel in Dumaguete or Dauin in the evening.
