This was excellent! Picked up from our accommodation, taken for Canyoneering (much more involved than I thought, but there was almost 1:1 guide to participant as we went the first day back after the typhoon). All the guides we lovely, helpful and patient, and we had a lovely home cooked Filipino dinner afterwards (catered for different dietary options).

10/10 activity! Memories of a lifetime made and could not possibly rate the guides any higher! The place is stunning, water perfectly clear and the landscape beautiful. The 2 guides we had went well above and beyond to make our experience as special as possible. This is a must do on the island of Cebu!

Mari was great. very informative and fun to hang out with. she knows all the cute bars especially with the decent bathrooms which I appreciated it. loved the rooftop view we had and she got the best pictures of us.

The tour was absolutely amazing. Great guide and way of exploring the city, using local transport and seeing the real Manila. Book without hesitation, even as solo traveller!

Was a great ride and customer service was awesome!
