Everything felt smooth from start to finish. The guide gave clear instructions for the whale shark encounter and made sure we felt safe the whole time. Sumilon Sandbar was breathtaking — we got amazing photos! Highly recommend.

They delivered exactly what their package promised. The side trip to Tumalog Falls was a highlight for us. A few lines were long, but that’s normal during peak days. Overall, a solid choice for families.
