Memorable Moments - Our driver Kerwen and tour guides Kevin and especially John and Gerald ensured we had an amazing experience throughout the day. Swimming with the whales sharks was wonderful, and ziplining and cantoneering with the boys was exhilarating. Credit to your team for making great memories for us.

Perfectly organised - Every step of the tour was greatly organised from beginning to end. Contacted me the day before with pickup time, driver's name/phone number and car registration. People where waiting for us at all attractions and the guides at the cannyoneering were fantastic. Very small group and we were really looked after. Highly recommend the operator.

Fun day! - This was one of our favourite days while travelling!
Whale sharks swam right up to you, many times! There’s a long queue to get into the boat and water (about 2 hrs for us), but there are coffee/ breakfast shops and souvenir shops nearby. I don’t think there is a way to bypass the long wait and it was so worth it to swim with the whale sharks!!
Canyoneering was definitely an adventure and adrenaline rush! The terrain getting to the waterfalls and cliffs can be tough (it’s all through water with lots of rocks). Our guides were spectacular and would literally hold my hand through tough areas or guide us where to put our hands and feet when climbing a cliff. They also were very encouraging to face your fear and jump off the high cliffs (some were 10ft!). The one guide filmed and took pictures using our own GoPro the whole time too.
I’d definitely do this one again!

Very good! - Everything was arranged at its best! We will definitely comeback for more! I recommend though to split it for two days, cause after sharks you re a bit tired for canyoneering and there are a lot of ppl in the afternoon.

One for the books! - Booked this tour via Klook and honestly it did not disappoint. Shout out to our driver Joseph and our canyoneering tour guides Alric and Jowel for making this experience so memorable.
For Oslob, be prepared to wait a while. When you reach the whale shark area, there will be lots of venders trying to sell you a phone pouch to protect your phone underwater. Would suggest buying it here as it should be no more than 100php. Whale sharks are beautiful creatures and you get up close and personal with these friendly giants!
With regards to canyoneering, I found this activity quite difficult. However, our tour guides Alric and Jowel made sure I was well supported throughout the whole experience. They are an hilarious bunch, and made the trek super fun. They also gave me plenty of options if I was too scared to jump down any of the cliffs. Alric also takes the best photos! Couldn’t have asked for better tour guides.
One thing I’d suggest if you’re not well versed in hiking is to take the zipline option at the start of the trek which cuts your hiking time by 45 minutes. The zipline costs 600php per person and well worth it for the views.
Thanks again Mcrich Travels!

Don’t miss this awesome tour - This was a very long day for us due to all the driving but both events were amazing! The whale sharks are very sweet and cool to swim with. The canyoneering was very fun and beautiful. My wife and eldest daughter were both rather scared and not wanting to do these events but we were all very happy during and afterwards as the experiences were much better than we had expected.
