What we run
Every route is private — your group only. Pick the day that fits.
A private early-morning trip from Cebu or Mactan to Oslob for whale shark snorkeling, with flexible side trips and hotel pickup.
Swim with whale sharks in Oslob, then head to Badian for Kawasan canyoneering with local guides and private transfers.
A full South Cebu adventure with Sumilon snorkeling, Oslob whale shark swimming, and Kawasan canyoneering in one private day.
Pair Oslob whale sharks with Moalboal's sardine run and sea turtle snorkeling on a long but rewarding private day tour.
A South Cebu private tour for guests who want sardines, turtles, and waterfalls without the earliest Oslob departure.
Focus the day on Badian's canyoneering route, turquoise streams, natural slides, jumps, and Kawasan Falls.
The difference
OTAs take 20-30% commission and lock you into rigid group itineraries. Booking direct means better price, real flexibility, and a local team you can actually message.

Everything you need to know before booking a private tour.
Because we check real availability before asking for payment. Local guide schedules, sanctuary permits, ferry timetables, and weather windows all need verification. You get a clear, honest quote within 24 hours with no surprises.
Oslob is about 3 hours south of Cebu City. The whale shark activity starts around sunrise, and arriving early usually means fewer boats, calmer water, and a more personal experience before large group tours arrive.
Yes. Private tours use a minimum pricing baseline, so solo travelers and couples are welcome as long as the minimum private charge is accepted. Your vehicle, driver, and guide remain private to your group.
Cash, bank transfer, online transfer, GCash QR, Maya QR, PayMongo, Wise transfer, PayPal, and Alipay by request. We only collect payment after availability is confirmed. A PHP 500 reservation fee secures the booking and is deducted from the final tour payment.
Pickup and drop-off in Cebu City, Mandaue, and Mactan are included for most Cebu tours. Pickups outside those areas may carry a small surcharge, always confirmed in writing before the tour.
Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity unless your written confirmation gives a longer free-cancellation window. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur supplier costs. Weather-forced closures can be rebooked or refunded based on supplier rules.
Yes, Japanese-speaking guides and Korean language support are available on request. Please request 3-5 days in advance when possible so the team can confirm guide availability.
Yes. Your group, your vehicle, your pace. Cebu OK Travel does not add other travelers to your tour without your clear permission.
After the tour is confirmed, the team sends a secure waiver link connected to your booking ID. The signed waiver is archived with your typed signature name, date signed, tour date, and booking details.
No minimum group size. Solo travelers, couples, and families all book private tours. Pricing is structured around a private vehicle baseline — we quote based on your actual group size and route.
Many Cebu tours can work for families, but suitability depends on each guest and current activity operator rules. Tell us every child's age, swimming ability, mobility needs, and relevant health information. We confirm eligibility before recommending canyoneering, snorkeling, boat access, or another activity.
Wear swimwear under light clothes. Bring reef-safe biodegradable sunscreen (chemical sunscreen is banned at whale shark sites and marine sanctuaries), a rash guard or UV shirt, hat, towel, change of clothes, and PHP 500–800 cash for entrance fees, food, and extras. Snorkel gear can be rented on site.
Two to three days in advance is usually enough for most tours. For tours requiring special guides (Japanese, Korean), Kalanggaman Island (tide timing), or multi-day trips, five to seven days ahead is recommended. Peak season (December to April) books up faster — one to two weeks ahead is safer.
Yes. Chinese-speaking support is available via WeChat, and the booking chatbot handles Simplified Chinese. On-tour Chinese-speaking guides are available on request — please ask when submitting your quote request.
The reservation fee is deducted from your final tour balance — it is not an extra charge. If Cebu OK Travel cannot confirm availability for your chosen date, the fee is refunded in full. If you cancel with adequate notice (per your written confirmation), refund terms are clearly stated in your booking confirmation.
Yes. Airport pickup and drop-off to and from Mactan-Cebu International Airport are available as a standalone service or added to any tour day. Rates depend on hotel area and vehicle size — include your flight details when requesting a quote.
Yes — combination tours are the most popular option. Common combinations: Whale Shark + Sumilon Island (most popular south Cebu day), Whale Shark + Tumalog Falls, Whale Shark + Sumilon + Tumalog (full day), Oslob + Moalboal Sardine Run, Kawasan Canyoneering + beach time. Tell us your interests and we suggest the best fit.
We monitor conditions 24 hours before. If the tour cannot safely run, we notify you and offer rescheduling to your next available date at no extra cost. If rescheduling is impossible, refund terms follow supplier policy and are stated in your confirmation.
Yes. Cebu OK Travel specialises in Cebu-based private tours and also coordinates selected trips to Bohol, Palawan, Siquijor, Dumaguete, Kalanggaman Island, and Bantayan Island. Routes outside Cebu depend on transport, local supplier, weather, and date availability, so the team confirms the full plan and price in writing before payment.

ガイドさんが日本語で説明してくれて両親も安心でした。ジンベエザメは本当に感動的で、カワサンの絶景も最高でした。次回も絶対リピートします!
Whale Shark + Kawasan카카오톡으로 예약하니까 정말 편했어요. 드라이버분이 친절하시고 세부 여행이 완벽했습니다. 가족 여행으로 강력 추천합니다!
Bohol CountrysideBest day of our entire Philippines trip. Driver was on time at 2 AM, whale sharks at sunrise were beyond words, and the canyoneering guide kept us safe and laughing the whole time.
Oslob + Sumilon + Kawasan透過 LINE 預約很方便,中文溝通沒有問題。沙丁魚群真的超壯觀!司機很有耐心,行程很彈性。下次要帶家人來。
Moalboal + KawasanCebu OK Travel organized our 4-day Palawan trip flawlessly. Everything was private, punctual and better than advertised. No hidden fees, exactly as quoted.
Palawan Island HoppingNever dived before but felt completely safe the whole time. The instructor was patient and professional. Saw a sea turtle on my first ever dive! Incredible value at PHP 3,200.
Discovery Scuba DivingPinaka-magandang experience namin bilang pamilya. Driver namin si Kuya was very professional, on time, and knowledgeable. Will definitely rebook for our next Cebu trip!
Oslob Whale Shark非常专业的私人团队!司机准时接送,导游中文流利,巧克力山和眼镜猴真的很壮观。全程没有额外收费,非常透明。强烈推荐!
Bohol Day TourAbsolutely incredible adventure. The guides were safety-conscious but still made it thrilling. Jumping off the waterfalls into that turquoise pool is something I will never forget. Worth every peso.
Kawasan Canyoneering完全プライベートのボートで最高でした!スノーケリングは初めてでしたがスタッフのサポートが丁寧で安心。ランチも美味しかったです。またぜひ利用したいです。
Mactan Island Hopping시키호르 섬은 정말 마법 같은 곳이에요. 세부 OK 트래블 덕분에 편안하고 안전하게 여행할 수 있었습니다. 운전기사님도 너무 친절하셨어요. 완전 추천합니다!
Siquijor Island TourLa organización fue impecable desde el primer mensaje. Nuestro guía conocía perfectamente la historia de Cebú y nos llevó a lugares que jamás hubiéramos encontrado solos. ¡Experiencia de 10!
Cebu City Heritage TourBooking via WhatsApp was surprisingly smooth. Got a full itinerary in writing before paying anything. The 3 AM pickup was brutal but swimming with whale sharks at dawn made it 100% worth it.
Oslob Whale SharkPlanned this last minute and they pulled it together perfectly. Private vehicle the whole way, no strangers joining our group. The driver even recommended a hidden local lunch spot. Exceptional service.
Cebu to Dumaguete Day TripKalanggaman is the most beautiful sandbar I have ever seen and the private boat made it even more special. No crowds, no rush. Cebu OK Travel handled everything from ferry to boat to lunch. Flawless.
Kalanggaman Island Day TourDịch vụ rất chuyên nghiệp, liên lạc qua WhatsApp nhanh và rõ ràng. Thuyền riêng cho cả nhóm, hướng dẫn viên nhiệt tình. Tuyệt vời hơn bất kỳ tour nhóm nào tôi từng đi!
Mactan Island Hopping고래상어 수영은 꿈만 같았어요! 가이드가 안전하게 지도해 주고 카와산 협곡에서도 잘 도와줬어요. 한국어 지원도 되고 예약도 쉬웠어요. 정말 완벽한 투어였습니다.
Whale Shark + KawasanDid a two-day combo with Bohol one day and Siquijor the next. Both days were perfectly organized with private vehicles and knowledgeable drivers. No upselling, no pressure. Just brilliant.
Bohol + Siquijor ComboWe booked a 5-day private package for our honeymoon. Every detail was perfectly arranged — accommodation recommendations, flexible timing, and a driver who felt more like a friend. Truly memorable.
Cebu Private Multiday Tour沙丁鱼群真的震撼!整个行程安排非常专业,中文沟通顺畅,接送准时。这次旅行是我在菲律宾最难忘的体验,强力推荐给所有中国游客!
Moalboal Sardine Runカワサン渓谷のキャニオニングは最高のアドベンチャーでした!ガイドが終始安全に気を配ってくれて、透明度抜群のターコイズブルーのプールに飛び込む瞬間は忘れられません。日本語での対応もあり安心でした。
Kawasan Canyoneering보홀 프라이빗 투어 정말 최고였어요! 초콜릿힐스와 안경원숭이, 로복강 크루즈까지 하루에 다 즐길 수 있었어요. 운전기사님이 한국어로 설명도 해주시고 사진도 많이 찍어주셨어요. 완벽한 하루!
Bohol Day TourMit dem Walhai zu schwimmen war ein absolutes Highlight unserer Philippinen-Reise. Die private Tour war die beste Entscheidung — kein Gedränge, kein Stress, alles perfekt organisiert. Der Abholservice um 3 Uhr morgens war überraschend problemlos.
Oslob Whale SharkJournée absolument magique ! Le bateau privé nous a emmenés vers trois îles différentes, des tortues de mer au sanctuaire de Hilutungan, et un déjeuner de fruits de mer frais sur l'eau. Réservation via WhatsApp très simple et réponse rapide.
Mactan Island HoppingTwo experiences I thought would take two separate days — done in one incredible 16-hour trip. The whale sharks at dawn, canyoneering by midday. Exhausting and absolutely worth every minute. No OTA markup, no strangers, just our group.
Whale Shark + Kawasan马克坦岛跳岛游体验超级棒!私人帆船,海龟近距离接触,珊瑚礁浮潜,新鲜海鲜午餐,一天玩了这么多。中文沟通完全没问题,预约非常顺畅。强烈推荐给来宿务的朋友!
Mactan Island Hopping카와산 캐녀닝은 제 인생에서 가장 짜릿한 경험이었어요! 폭포에서 뛰어내리고 협곡을 헤엄쳐 내려가는 모든 순간이 완벽했어요. 가이드분들이 안전하게 잘 이끌어 주셔서 전혀 무섭지 않았어요.
Kawasan Canyoneeringボホール島の日帰りツアーは大満足でした。チョコレートヒルズの壮大な景色、かわいいメガネザル、のんびりしたロボック川クルーズ。日本語でのサポートがあり、家族全員が安心して楽しめました。
Bohol Day TourThe sardine bait ball at Moalboal is genuinely one of the most surreal things I've ever seen underwater. They literally surround you — you're inside the school looking out. Added on a sea turtle encounter and had the whole reef to ourselves. Private tour money well spent.
Moalboal Sardine RunNadar con tiburones ballena fue la experiencia más impresionante de mi vida. El guía privado fue excepcional — explicó todo el código de conducta, nos posicionó perfectamente en el agua y nos dejó suficiente tiempo. Vale absolutamente cada peso.
Oslob Whale SharkBooked this for a group of six and it was seamless from start to finish. The bangka was spacious, the crew were experienced, and seeing sea turtles freely swimming at Hilutungan was a highlight none of us expected. Highly recommend for families visiting Mactan.
Mactan Island HoppingTour de Bohol organisé à la perfection. Le guide connaissait chaque coin de l'île, les tarseaux sont fascinants et les Chocolate Hills au coucher du soleil sont inoubliables. Transfert par ferry inclus, aucun stress logistique. Je recommande sans hésiter.
Bohol Day TourKalanggaman exceeded every photo I'd seen online. The sandbar genuinely stretches into the most impossibly clear water. The 4 AM pickup felt brutal at the time but we had the island nearly to ourselves for the first two hours. Our guide handled everything — ferry booking, timing, even brought extra sunscreen. Best day of our whole Philippines trip.
Kalanggaman Islandジンベエザメとの遭遇は言葉では表せないほど感動的でした。プライベートツアーだったので自分のペースで泳げて、混雑した団体ツアーとは全く違う体験ができました。ガイドさんが日本語でルールを丁寧に説明してくれたので安心でした。また必ず来ます!
Oslob Whale Shark카와산 캐녀닝 정말 강력 추천합니다! 절벽 점프하고 자연 슬라이드 타면서 폭포에 도달하는 그 순간이 너무 짜릿했어요. 가이드분이 처음부터 끝까지 안전하게 리드해줘서 무섭지 않았어요. 세부 왔으면 이건 꼭 해야 해요.
Kawasan Canyoneering麥克坦跳島行程超級值得!在Hilutungan看到了好幾隻大海龜在珊瑚礁間悠游,導遊特別幫我們找到最好的位置拍照。漁村午餐的烤海鮮非常新鮮美味。全程私人包船,不用跟陌生人擠,非常舒適。下次來宿霧一定再預訂!
Mactan Island HoppingDer Bohol-Tagesausflug war absolut perfekt geplant. Die Chocolate Hills bei Sonnenaufgang, die winzigen Tarsiere im Schutzgebiet und die entspannte Flussfahrt auf dem Loboc — alles hatte seinen eigenen Charakter. Unser Guide sprach ausgezeichnetes Englisch und erklärte alles sehr kompetent. Für Familien oder Paare gleichermaßen empfehlenswert.
Bohol Day TourSumilon Island is seriously underrated! The sandbar shifts with the tide so every visit is different — ours had this gorgeous long strip perfect for photos. The water was ridiculously clear and the snorkeling was great for beginners. Cebu OK Travel sorted everything including the boat transfer from Oslob pier. Highly recommend for a relaxing island escape from the city.
