Cebu Island in the Philippines is full of incredible adventures, and two of the best are canyoneering at Kawasan Falls and swimming with one million sardines! Cebu is an awesome place to add to your Philippines itinerary, and to enjoy these two activities we based ourselves in Moalboal. Moalboal is a small town in the South of Cebu with great beaches, fun nightlife, and a very laid back vibe. Panagsama Beach, where the sardines are, is accessible right from town, and the famous Kawasan falls and the canyoneering leading up to it are just a 1 hour drive from Moalboal. We booked both our scuba trip and canyoneering with Jojo South Cebu Adventures. If you want to book the same trip, you can check them out here: https://jojo-south-cebu-adventures.business.site/
The sardine run in Moalboal is an incredible phenomenon. To feed on the plankton in the water, more than a million sardines come together as one big group and swim through the ocean as if they are one huge creature. It is a sight unlike anything we have ever experienced, and it happens right off the shore! We chose to scuba dive to see this phenomenon, but if you are not a diver you can also snorkel. the sardines are only a few meters from the surface, so you can see them with just your snorkel gear if you want! However, if you are looking for the best diving in the Philippines, we highly recommend doing this with scuba gear so you can see the sardines from all angles and enjoy swimming around and through them without worry of catching your breath.
After scuba diving with sardines we geared up for an adrenaline filled afternoon of canyoneering and cliff jumping our way to Kawasan Falls. Canyoneering in Cebu came highly recommended to us by so many travelers and friends, and we are so glad we did it! It was so much fun making our way through the winding canyon and seeing the incredible Philippines landscape as we went, but the highlight of the tour was definitely the cliff jumping. The tour has 7 different cliff jumps, and the final one was nearly 10m (30 feet) which was terrifying and exhilarating! At the end of our hours of sliding down natural-made waterslides and jumping off of cliffs, we came to Kawasan Falls; a beautiful waterfall to celebrate surviving the cliff jumps.

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
