“Awesome day out, all the guides are super friendly and look after you. The food at the end of the day was great, would recommend eating breakfast before going as you won’t eat till after you’ve completed the tour around 4/5 hrs but don’t eat too much! 10/10 would recommend.”

2.Moalboal Sardines Run Snorkel & Kawasan Canyoneering

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 73 reviews · 1 day · from $142

Guides such as Jerome, Joel, Benji, and Roy are known for patient safety help and taking photos. Lunch, gear, entry fees, and select hotel transfers are included.

“Guides were excellent, took great care of us & were very entertaining! Guille was there early to pick us up at our accommodation in a very comfortable air- conditioned bus. Canyoneering was the best part, maybe advice to bring shoes with a proper sole (vs swim shoes) - would have made it easier to walk on rocks :)”

4.Moalboal Sardines Run Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 24 reviews · 1 hour · from $25Best value

Meet your English-speaking guide at Panagsama Beach for a one-hour private snorkeling trip to Moalboal’s sardine shoal, only about 30 meters from shore. Masks, fins, and a life jacket are available. Guides such as Jonathan can also provide GoPro footage for an added fee, and turtles may appear.

“Jonathan was great, I rented his go pro for 500php and we swam out to the sardines and saw many turtles. I asked him to film the animals so he dived down to get the best shots but kept checking in on me as I floated at the top. I was solo so I had him to myself, it was awesome! highly recommend. 10am was the perfect time.”
