Overview
The most popular and best selling tour in southern Cebu combined in one day tour – the Oslob whale shark watching and canyoneering adventure. Start your morning with a unique swimming experience with the whale sharks in Oslob, then end your day with an exhilarating adventure with Kabutongan falls canyoneering. Our guided canyoneering trips are filled with fun and excitement as you enter a world of adventure.
Unlike Badian and Alegria canyoneering, Kabutongan falls canyoneering is relatively less known than Badian and Alegria and new for canyoneering, with less jumping locations than Alegria’s. This is suitable for those who want to enjoy the natural scenery, just to relax and those not so brave to conquer heights as it is more on trekking and swimming, short waterfalls and a cave.
