BEST TOUR EVER
My friend and I had been eagerly anticipating this experience for our whole trip, and it completely exceeded our expectations! I was a bit nervous about heights, but the guides were fantastic, encouraging me to face my fears—and I even managed the 10-meter jump by the end! They took such great care of everyone in the group and made the day genuinely enjoyable with their friendly and fun company. I highly recommend this experience for all ages. It’s an absolute must-do to add to your list when visiting the Philippines!

10/10 tour!
This tour was fantastic—full of fun, adventure, and a refreshing escape on a hot day. The guides were incredibly helpful, keeping everything safe while making sure we all had a great time. As a solo female traveler, I felt very well looked after, with one of the guides staying by my side throughout. They captured every special moment on my phone and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious homemade Filipino meal. Our group even had vegetarian members, and there were plenty of options to suit everyone. I highly recommend this tour! If you can, book the earliest time slot to capture the best photos and beat the midday heat.

Top Notch!
This was a 10/10 experience! The tour guides from Philippine Experience were hilarious and incredibly helpful. They were attentive to our safety and made sure we had plenty of fantastic photos and videos to remember the day. I’d highly recommend choosing the early morning, as being one of the first to arrive means the water is an especially stunning blue in the morning!

Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.
How much does Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour?
+
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 Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour?
+
Around 1 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Moalboal and Badian’s Ultimate Adventure Tour 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: Camera rental available for ₱1000 (GoPro Hero7 or newer, SD card not included); Optional Scuba Diving Experience (₱2,000/pax); Kawasan Falls Visit (Optional ₱500/pax); and Complete Canyoneering Package (Optional ₱2,100/pax). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
