This tour was amazing! Our tour guide was very considerate, service-oriented, kind and funny - Well done, Gen! We did everything as described in the itinerary. One thing that I would mention is the transport to Tagbilaran, though. It would have been great if we had an exact description of how the purchase of the ticket to what to do was given (e.g. you need the green fair ticket and a document with the seat number, which is given at a different counter). All in all we very much enjoyed this tour and would recommend it 100%

The company was well organized. The driver, the guides were very good. The whale shark trip was so so. It doesn’t feel natural. The canyoneering on the other hand was excellent. The guide, Jo, waw fantastic. He knew where to go and he is an excellent photographer. Definitely worth the money and I would recommend it.

Super great tour through the river! Lots of action and challenges! The guides were very funny, placed great value on our safety and were always with us. They also took lots of photos of us. They seemed very professional and they were. Overall an extremely great and cool tour, we would do it again anytime.

My guide Ryan was very informative along my tour pointing out history along the way. Had a good time seeing areas around Cenu. Thank you

We enjoyed ourselves immensely! Everything was very well organised and it was a super beautiful experience!
