How We Research

Anyone can write that the sardine run is amazing. This page is here so you can check how we put our pages together, and decide for yourself how much weight to give what we say about tours, snorkelling spots and trip logistics in Moalboal.

Where the tour numbers come from

Every price, duration, rating, review count, list of inclusions and cancellation rule you see in our comparisons is read straight from the tour's listing on GetYourGuide. Right now we track 30 tours, covering everything from a simple snorkel at Panagsama Beach to full-day combos with Kawasan Falls canyoneering or the whale sharks in Oslob.

• Tour listings last checked: 3 November 2026
• Prices in the Philippines can move without warning, so the figure shown at checkout on GetYourGuide is always the one that counts.

How we use traveller reviews

Reviews tell you what a brochure never will. We read recent ones for each tour and look for patterns: what travellers say went well, what caught them off guard, and what they wish someone had told them before they booked. When we quote a review, it comes from a real traveller, it is sometimes shortened for length, and it links to the tour it refers to so you can read the full context yourself.

The practical details

Opening hours, distances, the best season for the sardine run, and how to actually get from Cebu City to Moalboal: this kind of information comes from official sources, maps and recent reports from visitors. We re-check it whenever we update a page, because ferry times and road conditions in Cebu do not stay frozen.

Do affiliate links change our advice?

No. We earn a commission when you book through our links to GetYourGuide, but that money does not decide which tours appear on the site or how they are ranked. The full picture is in our Affiliate Disclosure.
