Upon arrival in Cebu, relax as our team takes you on a scenic drive to Oslob, the town famed for its whale shark encounters.

Your first stop is Oslob, home to the world-renowned "butanding," or whale sharks. Here, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to swim alongside these gentle giants in their natural environment. The whale sharks are friendly and awe-inspiring, reaching lengths of up to 40 feet. Accompanied by our expert guides, you’ll feel safe and comfortable as you observe these amazing creatures up close. This unique encounter is a bucket-list experience that few are fortunate enough to enjoy, and it will leave you with lasting memories and countless stories to share.

After an unforgettable time with the whale sharks, your adventure continues with a journey to Badian, home of Cebu’s famous canyoneering sites. Known for its stunning, turquoise-blue waters and scenic canyon landscapes, Badian is a paradise for thrill-seekers. Upon arrival, you’ll be equipped with safety gear, including life vests, helmets, and protective footwear. After a thorough safety briefing and guidance from experienced canyoneering experts, get ready to plunge into an exciting series of jumps, slides, swims, and climbs through the Badian canyons.

The Badian canyoneering experience is packed with exhilarating moments, from leaping off cliff ledges into cool, crystal-clear pools to gliding down natural rock slides formed by centuries of flowing water. You’ll weave through lush landscapes, explore hidden waterfalls, and make your way through stunning canyon passages carved by nature. Along the way, take a moment to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, from the tropical flora to the rushing waters that make this area so unique.

The highlight of the Badian canyoneering trail is the famous Kawasan Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall known for its striking blue waters. Here, you can take a refreshing swim, snap some photos, and even take one final exhilarating jump into the natural pools. Kawasan Falls is an ideal spot to relax, rejuvenate, and take in the breathtaking scenery after an adrenaline-fueled adventure through the canyons.

After completing the canyoneering course and unwinding at Kawasan Falls, it’s time to begin your journey back to Dumaguete.
