Real experiences from real travelers
This was the highlight of our Philippines trip! The water color is unreal—literally Gatorade blue. Our guides were fantastic, helping us with every jump and taking great photos. The 10-meter jump was scary but so worth it!
I was worried because I am not a strong swimmer, but the life vest keeps you floating the whole time. The scenery is majestic. The trekking is slippery, so bring good shoes. Highly recommended!
We took the tour from Cebu City. It's a long 3.5-hour drive each way, but the canyon makes it worth it. We added the zipline at the start which saved us a 45-minute walk—definitely pay the extra for that!
The activity is thrilling! Sliding down natural rock slides was so fun. After the tour, the lunch provided was delicious chicken adobo and rice. A perfect day.
Booked the combo with Whale Sharks in Oslob. It was an exhausting day starting at 4 AM, but seeing the sharks and then doing the canyon was incredible. Very well organized transfer.
The canyon is breathtaking. It can get a bit crowded at the jump spots, but everyone is friendly. The guides ensure you jump safely. The water is refreshing and cool.
Me and my mates had a blast. The cliff jumps are legit. If you don't want to jump the high ones, there's always a path to walk around, so no pressure. Great value for money.
The walk through the jungle to get to the start is beautiful. The water is so clear. Our guide was like a personal photographer. Just go, you won't regret it!
Everything you need to know for your journey

Wear lightweight, quick-drying clothes like a rash guard and board shorts or leggings. Bikinis are not recommended due to the force of the water during jumps. Closed-toe aqua shoes or sneakers with good grip are mandatory.
Most operators require participants to be at least 12 years old. Some allow children as young as 7-10 if they are fit and accompanied by a private guide, but 12+ is the standard for safety.
Yes, absolutely! None of the high jumps are mandatory. There is always a walking path or a smaller slide/jump alternative if you are not comfortable with the heights.
The canyoneering activity itself takes about 3 to 5 hours depending on your pace. If you are coming from Cebu City, expect a 12-14 hour day including travel time.
