A lovely morning island hopping. We saw many beautiful fish and corals, had a nice lunch and relaxed on a small beach. Overall very good value for your money
Some of the reefs were damaged by the super typhoon but it was overall a great experience and the lunch was fantastic. The boat captain was delightful
Very relaxing, beautiful Islands, great fun playing volleyball with Captain and his crew, and by the way captains crew took excellent pictures of us.
This trip was by far my favorite. I visited kawasan for canyoneering, bohol, and various parts all over cebu along with Oslob to see the whale sharks. This excursion by far was the best. The driver and boat captain and crew were fantastic. The water and snorkeling was amazing. We visited one of the islands (I forgot the name) and it was the most humbling experience I've had. Seeing the way the people live and how friendly they all were. I had kids running up to me to give me high fives and people asking to take pictures with me. I'm from San Francisco, California in the US. When you see their way of living compared to the first world life I see daily, again, it was incredibly humbling. Now for the snorkling. I've snorkeled all over including; hawaii, all over mexico, thailand and various other places. The colors of the fish were breathtaking especially the rainbow fish. The water was crystal clear and warm. The boat crew kept throwing bread into the ocean which attached hundreds of fish to totally surround me. This is the only excursion I've ever written a review for and it will always be one of my most memorable experiences. The food was decent as well and was prepared and brought on board in meal prep containers and available to eat whenever I wanted. I did this trip solo so everything was catered to me and what I wanted to do. I had my own private boat and my own personal driver. Just wanted to thank you guys for one of the best experiences I've had.
My group and I were very satisfied with the Mactan Island Hopping tour. The driver and tour guide, Mr. Joseph is a wonderful man that made us feel safe. The boatmen are all funny and very helpful to my foreign friends. We enjoyed eating the food that consisted of chicken, pork, fish (for our vegetarian friend) and BBQ. Hope to have more vegetables next time. Met some local people in one of the islands. Overall, it was a fun-filled and enjoyable private tour that my friends and I will never forget. Will recommend Cebu Tours to my friends when they go to Cebu.
セブに着いた夜に
このツアーを予約しました。
夜遅かったので早朝のお迎えが心配でしたが、メッセージの返信も速くて
当日もキレイなTOYOTAの車でお迎えがホテルまで来てくれて、一安心⁈しました。
私たち2人に船が一艘ついたのには、驚き！
少し船は古い木造でしたが、若いクルー2人が日本語が話せないですがとても親切でした。
海もキレイで大満足のツアーです。
お昼もローカルなタッパーでのお弁当でしたが、私達は問題なく美味しく食べました。
強いて言うなら…ビールを頼んだらとてもぬるくて、高かった事と
最初の停泊して海を楽しんだ時に
貝などの海産物を日本語が話せる漁師が押し売りしてきます。これも物に対して高いです。
写真に載せた島にバーがあるのですが
そこまでは浅い海や海岸を少し歩くので、シーシューズはあった方がいいですね。
またタオルも人数分必須。
