Amazing experience!

I cannot begin to describe how professional these guys are. We had to move our booking because of the Activities not being open in the Holy week vacation days. They moved it up by a day and were very responsive with emails and whatsapps. These guys picked us up at the right location and ON TIME. They are so good. I paid WAY in advance and I was worried about getting scammed, but These guys are SUPER LEGIT and fantastic with their jobs. Id pay extra to go with them again. They even turned our shared tour into a private tour due the changes in dates. Please USE THEM TO BE YOUR GUIDES. I loved our driver JOJO and our Canyoneering tour guide Jason. Amazing people

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing time on this tour and enjoyed every moment. The Oslob Whale Shark Watching experience and the canyoneering adventure were both very well organized. Our driver, Rudel, picked us up from the hotel at 2:00 AM sharp and was punctual, friendly, and efficient throughout the trip.

Swimming with the whale sharks was truly unforgettable, and the canyoneering was just as incredible. Zac was an outstanding guide during the canyoneering—he helped us navigate the trek safely and took loads of photos for us along the way. He was friendly, supportive, and excellent at what he does.

We highly recommend this tour to future travelers looking for an exciting and memorable experience 🤗

We booked a full day trip with Mcrich which included swimming with the whale sharks and canyoneering at Kawasan Falls. From start to end, it was a very pleasant experience with McRich. How? First, Mcrich is very responsive via WhatsApp even though the trip was booked via tripadvisor.com. Mcrich advised me to book it via tripadvisor in case the trip is cancelled, I can get a refund. Second, they provide a 1:1 guide for the canyoneering trip. The three guides were Brian, Jeesan and Jude; they took care of us from start to the end. Brian in particular made sure my son who is 9 yo, is safe through out the trip while my boy attempted every jump and the rock sliding. Even though, the 10m jump was closed, we had fun with the remaining jumps and enjoyed their company; there was a lot of fun and laughter throughout the journey. We highly recommend Mcrich if you are looking for safety and fun at the same time! PS: take the zipline and if you choose the higher zipline, you will ride a motor bike to the hilltop for the zipline. You have the option of sitting position or superman position! It costs 600 pesos per pax for the zipline. The other way is to hike your way to the top of the waterfall. Once at the top, you will make your descend and do the jumps when descending. The swing rope costs 10 pesos each swing and my kid did 3!

Exhilarating experience.

Both whale shark and kawasan are one of its kind tours in Phillipines and must do. You will maybe never swim so close to a huge fish and never travel downstream through. Turquoise blue waterfall with jumps, slides, views, climbs. Amazing it was and one of best I have done in my life and a big thanks to Mac for making it special.

Best Tour Ever – Amazing Service from Marlon & the Team!

This was hands down the best tour experience! The whale sharks and Kawasan canyoneering were unforgettable, but what really stood out was the amazing team behind it. 

A special shout out to Marlon, our driver and guide. After dropping us off around 7 pm, I realized I had left my credit card in his car. The tour management quickly contacted Marlon, and he went out of his way to drive back two hours later to return it to me at my hotel. That kind of honesty and dedication is truly rare. 

Also huge thanks to the tour management—their email response time is incredible, always quick and helpful, even after hours. Everything was smooth, professional, and reliable from start to finish. 

I felt safe, cared for, and genuinely looked after the whole trip. Highly recommend this tour company, and if you can, ask for Marlon—he’s simply the best!

Effortlessly Enjoyable!

Wow, what a trip! This one was an absolute vibe.
The itinerary was totally on point—we hit every spot right on time. And a huge shoutout to our driver, Kuya, who was super chill and gave us plenty of space to soak up the moments at both the whale shark watching and canyoneering.
Let's talk about the ride—no basic joiners van here! The vehicle was cozy, with reclining seats and an A/C that was on full blast, which was a total lifesaver.
But the real highlight? Canyoneering! It was an epic, adrenaline-fueled adventure, and our tour guides were the GOATs. They had our backs every step of the way, making sure we didn't wipe out on the rocks, and their energy made the whole thing even more fun.
Bonus points for the other joiners—they were super friendly and approachable, even though they were from all over the world.
Seriously, I've been on a bunch of tours lately, but this was hands down the smoothest one yet. Thank you so much for an unforgettable time!

Amazing experience!

Saturday was an awesome experience and it was due to how well organized the tour was right from booking the tour.

We received an email about 10 minutes before pick up time informing us that the driver was going to be late due to car issues but just a few minutes later driver arrived and he was happy and friendly.

Slept most of the way there as it was so early but the driver Ruel got us all there safely.

When we arrived we had tour guide group us together and walked us down to the check in point for the whale sharks and told us our number and said he will collect us when ready, about an hour wait and we were ready to board our boat and experience the most amazing thing ever, we swam with the whale sharks for about 45 minutes and it was the best. 

We did hire go pro (550 pesos) and sadly videos were very blurry, that was the only sad part…. 

We got changed and off to our next adventure the Kasawan fall’s canyoneering and this tour was very well planned, we had lunch and was off we go! We had great friendly, informative and very helpful tour guides. The Kasawana area was breath taking beautiful!! 

Our driver stoped for us on the way home to use the bathroom and get some snacks from 7/11

We made it home safely about 8pm

Long day but very well worth it!! Only sad thing was the blurry videos from the go pro but would definitely recommend this company for the tour.

One of the best experiences of my life!

Swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob was absolutely fantastic—waking up early was definitely worth it. Seeing these gentle giants up close was unforgettable. Our driver was kind and helpful, making the trip smooth and comfortable.

The canyoneering adventure in Badian was equally amazing! Our guide was very professional, patient, and kind, assisting me all the way from start to finish. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire experience.

What made it even more meaningful was knowing that they are also taking steps to protect and preserve nature. I’ll definitely be sharing this adventure with my friends—it’s something I’ll always remember!

Amazing experience!

Had a wonderful day with both these tours. Getting to go to Oslop early was good , a swim with the Whale sharks around 6am  was quite a niche experience. 

As for the Kawasan Canyoneering experience , it was the highlight of my trip. Especially with my guide , Merson, whom I highly recommend . Experiencing the nature and beauty of Kawasan was something I will treasure.

Worth the amount paid .

There was a mistake with our booking, but after calling their office, the problem was solved, with a focus to guarantee our satisfaction from the trip. So, overall, mistakes were made, but crisis management was exceptional.

This adventure tour was the most exhilarating experience

Kate Grinter, March 2024

Embarking on the whale shark diving and canyoneering adventure tour was the most exhilarating experience, leaving me in awe of nature’s majesty. The guidance provided was exceptional, ensuring safety while maximizing enjoyment. Swimming alongside gentle giants, the whale sharks, was a humbling encounter I’ll never forget. The canyoneering aspect offered a thrilling challenge, with breathtaking views and adrenaline-pumping descents. We had one guide per person, which is unheard of for most tours, and our own personal photographer who took incredible shots. I would highly recommend taking the zip line instead of the hike to the falls, for an extra 600 pesos it was a truly…

Great adventure experience!

C’est une première pour mon chéri et moi les Philippines et nous sommes heureux d’avoir fait cette expérience unique. Se baigner avec des requins baleines juste en face de soi et suivre sur du canyioning à Kawasanfalls. Juste top!!! Nous tenons à remercier Remz et Jason qui ont fait que cette journée soit unique et d’une telle gentillesse, merci à vous Messieurs ! Nous reviendrons.

The trip were so perfect

신영재, March 2024

Thanks to Daniel, the beginning and the end of the trip were so perfect. It was so comfortable because there was no inconvenience in moving around, and I felt that you were taking care of driving. Even though I asked a lot of questions, they answered us sincerely without being bothered and made us feel good with a pleasant smile. Thanks to you, I had such a good perception of the Philippines and I wanted to meet him again when I went to Cebu next time. And thank you so much to Mac. My family may have felt stuffy because they were slow and not good at swimming compared to others, but they were so kind to us. Especially, my mom was worried because she couldn’t swim.

Highly recommended!

Our tour went super smooth thanks to Jerlan for taking care of everything. Jerlan Dacles is a good, punctual and cheerful driver. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour guide for our canyoneering

Revolution Physiques, April 2024

Jong was an amazing tour guide for our canyoneering. He was a fantastic photographer and videographer to ensure all of our journey was documented. He would not hesitate to recommend Jong to anyone visiting the canyon.

We’ve got a great time

陳慶樺, April 2024
