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:-)

OSLOB WHALE SHARK ENCOUNTER SHARED TOUR BOOKING NO: 774491411 I had bought this tour from Cebu Trip Tours, which according to their website was with the possibility of cancellation and on February 13, 2020 I requested the cancellation. They replied that in 20-30 working day they would make the refund, but to date, it has not been made. I have been sending several emails, at first with a response apologizing and begging me to be patient that the refund would be made. More than 6 months have passed, they still do not refund the tour and now they do not even respond to my emails.

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!

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.

We had such a great time in Bohol! First class service all of the way! Leila met us at hotel and took us to the train station. Once we arrived in Bohol we were greeted by Bing and we were off. Bing was very knowledgeable and a local to the island. Our driver Fidel was quiet but cracked a few smiles throughout the day. The Chocolate Hills were amazing and the Tarsiers were so cute. Our mini river cruise with lunch was delicious and it was neat to meet the Ati tribe. We really enjoyed our special one day tour and would highly recommend this company.

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.
