Best Experience!
Our driver picked us up right on time and was very kind and professional throughout the trip. The Kawasan Canyoneering experience was amazing—the tour guides were highly professional, friendly, and very accommodating, making us feel safe and well taken care of. We also recommend adding the zipline once you arrive on site it’s definitely worth it and adds more excitement to the adventure! The food served was also good and satisfying after the activity. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended! 😊

Great private tour experience
Highly recommend this company. Just traveled with Renz for three days (booked driver and tours) of travel between Cebu, Moalboal, and Oslob. Having the personal guide and driver made the journey more enjoyable and less stressful. We had time to learn about the Philippine culture as well. He is always on time and we like to make our own schedule instead of having to follow a tour group schedule. Booked directly through their website.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that traveling with Renz and having a personal driver and guide made your Cebu, Moalboal, and Oslob adventure stress-free and enjoyable. It’s great that you had time to explore and learn about Philippine culture at your own pace. We really appreciate you booking directly with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more memorable trips in the future! 🇵🇭

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.
How much does Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping cost?
+
Prices start at $148 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cebu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cebu is not rushed.
Is Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cebu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cebu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cebu and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cebu: Kawasan Canyoneering & Moalboal Island Hopping start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cebu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cebu?
+
On Outty we rank every Cebu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale Watching in Sumilon Island with Ocean View Resort Tour, Whale Shark & Tumalog Falls & Sumilon Sandbar & Pescador Island with Sardines, From Cebu: Oslob Whale Shark Swimming & Moalboal Sardine Run Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cebu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cebu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Fins (You may rent on the site activity for about Php500/pax); and Underwater Camera (rental fee about Php 600-800). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
