Upon your arrival in Oslob, you will be assisted by your driver for your registration and queuing, making your experience smooth and stress-free. After a short briefing on safety and interaction guidelines, you gear up with a life vest and snorkel and board a small outrigger boat. Just offshore, you will enter calmly, in a clear water where whalesharks gracefully swim beneath your surface. You will float and snorkel alongside these gentle giants, watching their massive silhouettes glide effortlessly through the sea-an awe-inspiring and humbling wildlife encounter.

The session allows you ample time for viewing, taking photos and underwater moments, all while following responsible tourism rules. Afterward, you will freshen up, relax and continue your journey in your private transport, carrying with you one of Cebu's most unforgettable marine experiences.

The canyon echoes with rushing water, sunlight filtering through dense greenery and the excitement of moving with the river's flow, where you can relax and swim in its famous turquoise waters, capturing your photo and enjoy the rewarding finish of an adrenaline-filled.

During your canyoneering experience, you are immersed in the stunning natural scenery of Kawasan Falls and its surrounding canyon system. You will move through narrow limestone gorges carved by rushing water, surrounded by dense tropical forest, hanging vines, and moss-covered rock walls. The river below glows in shades of emerald and turquoise, so clear that smooth stones are visible beneath the surface.
Along the route, you encounter a series of small waterfalls, natural pools, and cascading streams, each more dramatic than the last. Sunlight filters through the jungle canopy, creating shimmering reflections on the water and postcard-perfect views at every turn. As this is finale part, the area feels raw, refreshing, and untouched- an unforgettable display of Cebu's most iconic waterfall landscape.
