Your Adventure Starts Here

From swimming through millions of sardines to conquering waterfalls, exploring hidden beaches to diving world-class sites—Angel and Jhong help you experience the best of Moalboal. Rent. Explore. Repeat.

SARDINE RUN & TURTLE SPOTTING

The Experience Everyone Talks About

Dive into the water just minutes from TopBudz and find yourself surrounded by millions of sardines creating living, swirling formations around you. In the same waters, graceful sea turtles glide effortlessly past coral gardens. This isn't a tour—this is why people come to Moalboal.

What You Need to Know:

📍 Location: 2-3 minutes from TopBudz

⏱️ Duration: 1-2 hours (your pace)

💪 Difficulty: Easy—perfect for all levels

🕐 Best Time: Early morning (6-8am) before crowds

💰 Cost: Minimal entrance fee + snorkel rental if needed

Tip: "Go at sunrise. The water is calm, the light is perfect, and you'll have the sardines almost to yourself. Bring an underwater camera—you'll regret it if you don't."

KAWASAN FALLS CANYONEERING

The Adrenaline Rush You Came For

This isn't just a waterfall visit—it's a full-body adventure. Jump off cliffs (up to 40 feet if you're brave), slide down natural waterslides, swim through canyons, and end at the stunning turquoise pools of Kawasan Falls. This is the adventure that'll dominate your travel stories for years.

What You Need to Know:

📍 Location: 26km from TopBudz (we arrange transport)

⏱️ Duration: Full day (6-8 hours)

💪 Difficulty: Moderate—some fitness required

🕐 Best Time: Midweek to avoid crowds, early start

Tip: "Don't overthink the jumps. The guides know what they're doing. Trust them, take a breath, and go for it. The rush is worth it."

PESCADOR ISLAND DIVING

World-Class Diving on Your Doorstep

Dramatic drop-offs, vibrant coral walls, schools of barracudas, reef sharks, and if you're lucky—thresher sharks. Pescador Island is consistently ranked among the Philippines' top dive sites, and it's just a 15-minute boat ride from Panagsama Beach.

What You Need to Know:

📍 Location: 15-minute boat from Panagsama Beach

⏱️ Duration: Half-day (2-3 dives typically)

OSMEÑA PEAK SUNRISE HIKE

Stand on Top of Cebu

Trek to Cebu's highest point (1,015m) in the pre-dawn darkness and watch the sun rise over jagged limestone peaks that look like they belong on another planet. The hike is relatively easy, but the views? Absolutely mind-blowing.
