Amazing Wildlife and Perfect Guide and Driver Danny + Ninyo - We had such a fun time seeing the whale sharks, sea turtles, and sardines. The whale sharks were a true highlight. Their grace and power were amazing to see in person. The municipality does a very good job ensuring that the whale sharks are not touched or disturbed, in spite of the large crowds that this attracts. I think the sizes of groups could stand to be limited further, perhaps with reservations/permitting, but they do a great job regardless. The truly best parts of our tour were our guide kuya Danny and our driver kuya Ninyo. Danny was very knowledgeable about the areas we went to and was so personable and fun to talk with. We spent 12 hours together and he made us feel so welcome and safe. Ninyo was great as well - he gave us great tips at every stop and we felt very safe on the roads with him at the wheel. It was a lot of driving and we were able to sleep comfortably knowing we were in good hands. Overall, we would absolutely recommend Fun Group Cebu and Danny and Ninyo. We'll absolutely be back on our next visit!

Awesome - Nino and Danny picked us up at our hotel early in the morning and dropped us off in the afternoon. They were very nice, kind people and fun to talk with. The sheer number of people at the whale sharks would have been difficult without Danny and the rest of the staff to ensure we got to where we needed to be. The whale shark snorkeling was great. The sardine run and turtle tour was fantastic. There's a small restaurant for lunch as well. I would recommend this activity, and especially Nino and Danny! I would also recommend taking your own mask and snorkel if possible. I had one snorkel rub a blister along my gums.

Unforgettable Adventure: Oslob Whale Sharks & Moalboal Sardine Run Tour - Swimming with the Oslob whale sharks and experiencing the sardines and turtles Moalboal were two of the most incredible moments of my life. The sheer size and grace of the whale sharks left me in awe, while the vibrant sardine run was like nothing I’d ever seen before. Adding in the sea turtles was the cherry on top. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, this tour is an absolute must!

It's a great tour. - Whale sharks were awesome! It's a very mobile tour, but the rides are wider and better than the others. The moal boal snorkeling has a lot of poisonous jellyfish, so a rush guard is essential.

Safe tour - It was my first Oslob in 10 years. It was an early morning meeting, but the driver, Nino, came on time, drove safely on the way, cared for me a lot, and I was able to participate with peace of mind. The drivers are very important for overseas tours because they require a long journey. Tours with a safe driving driver are recommended. Unlike 10 years ago, whale sharks were very crowded and the waiting time was long and hard, but it was still a special experience and recommended.

Amazing, once in a life time experience - Amazing experience and truly a once in a lifetime encounter. These gentle giants are so amazing, curious and friendly that it really is an up close immersive experience. Our tour guide Mae and drivers were fantastic and made sure we knew what was happening all along. The guides who take you out in the boat and very helpful and will film you using your GoPro which results in some fantastic footage! Yes, it’s a long day and you do have to wait your turn for the whale sharks but it’s 100% worth it. While waiting there are plenty of souvenir shops, cafes and more to browse. Moalboal was also great. The tour guides again really went out of their way to film great GoPro footage of you swimming right through the sardine run as well as swimming next to sea turtles and lunch at ‘The Veranda’ was fantastic. Highly recommended and I’d do it all again!

Whale sharks a cant miss!! - I had a good time. Wish they could have attempted to help the group engage a bit more with one another; however, I understand that isnt a top objective. Overall, I would reccomend the group as they did do a good job delivering on the excursion goals, keep us safe and up to date with all the day's itineraries objectives and/or options.

Do not book ANY tour with whales sharks - The tour itself is ok. BUT the whole experience ( with ALL of the tours ) are so unethical. Locals are feeding the whale sharks!!! There are so many loud tourists, getting way too close. Chaotic. Everything is made for you to get your picture but that's it. Disappointing.
