Kawasan Falls Canyoneering: The 15 Best Tours in Cebu

22 tours  ·  from $47 a head

The canyon above Kawasan is a guided descent of jumps, slides and swims, not a viewpoint you drive to. These 15 differ on where the van picks you up, how many jumps the route includes and whether lunch and the whale sharks are bundled in.

Cebu City: Whale Shark Swimming & Kawasan Falls Canyoneering

1.Whale Shark Swimming & Kawasan Falls Canyoneering

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 665 reviews · 16 hours · from $124Our pick

Start before dawn for Oslob’s whale sharks, then head to Badian for lunch and a three-hour Kawasan Falls canyoneering course. You’ll swim, scramble, slide, and jump from cliffs up to 30 feet with local guides such as Ray, Ronaldo, Jo, or Marcello. Private trips are often the better value for four or more.

“It’s great to swim with and experience the whale sharks tho the process is kinda stressful with how it’s organized out on the water, and they don’t provide a snorkel so best pay 100 pesos from a guy to have one to make your experience easier. Canyoneering was really fun. I thought I’d be rappelling and things like that but it’s mostly just jumping off rocks and sliding down natural water slides etc.. it was a fun time and the guides will film and take pictures for you the whole time. All in all a fun experience”

“A unique day out with lots of variety. Be prepared for a long day. Our pickup was at 2am with a long drive to Oslob. When we got to Oslob we had to queue from 4:40am for an hour to get a ticket for the whale shark experience. Now this is necessary as it gets very busy and so essentially ensures you get on the boat earlier. We got out to the water about 7/7:30 am, the time goes quicker than you think. If you arrive after 5am I can see you having to wait much longer so although not necessary pleasant it is a blessing in disguise to leave…”

The snorkeling was slightly deceiving as there is nothing much to see in the first spot they take us and you are not provided with fins.”
