The way the whale shark swimming is coordinated is crazy. We got there at about 5AM, and didn’t get into the swimming until about 8AM. It was still a cool experience, though! We weren't able to get pictures because we didn’t have a camera bag, so highly recommend taking one. They have sellers there, but I’m not sure how trustworthy those bags are. The guide was extremely nice. The canyoneering was a wild experience. The guide was really nice as well, and had some crazy skills in taking videos for you! We unfortunately only made it half way through the tour because my partner dislocated his shoulder, and we didn’t get to see the end. We did a private tour, and our driver was incredible. He took us to the hospital 4 hours away from where the canyoneering takes place.

Amazing day! If you're staying in Mactan or Cebu City you need to do these 2 activities together as the drive there in back was about 7 hours in total. Doing them separately will result in a LOT more time in a van. We stayed in Mactan, and our pick up time was 2am. The whale shark part was truly magical. However, the wait time after arriving there for our slot was about 2 hours. We wish that had been more clearly communicated, so we could grab breakfast and shop for souvenirs. Instead we just sat by the van on very little sleep trying not to get annoyed. But the wait was definetly worth it. The canyoneering was so much fun. The route is gorgeous. Our guide, Merson, was an absolute joy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
For both activities there are plenty of opportunities to buy food, drinks, and souvenirs, so bring plenty of cash. I can not describe how great the whole day was, and would recommend this to everyone. 9/10!
