Description

"From your hotel lobby, embark on a 3-hour journey to Oslob, located south of Cebu, for an unforgettable experience of seeing and swimming with whale sharks. The interaction lasts about 30 minutes. Upon arrival in Oslob, we'll change into rash guards or swimwear and prepare for a briefing, take our life jackets and snorkel gear. We then take a small boat to the interaction area, where you'll have the chance to swim and snorkel with these gentle giants. Don't worry it you're not a strong swimmer-life jackets are provided. Next, we'll head to sumilon Island for some beach lounging, snorkeling in the sanctuary to spot Nemo, or simply relaxing with stunning sea valley views. Afterward, we return to the mainland and take a dip in the refreshing Tumalog Falls Well then transter to our vehicle for the drive back to the city. Please be aware that whale shark sightings are not guaranteed; on rare occasions, they may not appear or only one may be visible-therefore, refunds are not provided.

Fantastic experience

Such a well organised tour as it’s pretty hectic once there. If u arrive early enough u can get breakfast it’s such a long drive from Cebu City and back

Wonderful experience

Our tour guides Ace and Marilou were wonderful! They were on time, communicative, thoughtful and awesome people! The whale sharks are majestic. While they take care to ensure safety of the sharks, they do feed them to keep them in the area where you watch from a boat or swim in the sea.

Operator response

Thanks so much. Enjoy your holidays.

Unforgettable shark diving is a must when visiting the Philippines.

It was a completely unique experience that one will never forget. It's a big tourist attraction, which means it took over three hours to get to the sharks, but the result was worth it. All tourists are trained in what they can and can't do, you get vests (you can/don't take them off when swimming), diving goggles, a snorkel and fins. Your guide is with you on the boat (ours had a go camera with it, so we have beautiful photos and videos). You spend around half an hour with the shark, with a quick dive under the water as soon as the plankton-feeding shark approaches. Overall, we had an indescribable feeling about it, and it's exactly the kind of experience you have to experience for yourself.

Thank you!

Whale of a time!

Had the best time of my life scuba diving with the whale sharks. It felt like a real life Avatar! I was pretty nervous beforehand but the instructors were great and I felt like I knew what I was doing when I got in the water. I couldn't believe the size of the whale sharks! I 100% want to do it again one day and have been urging friends and family to give it a go. The driver Joel made sure to get us there on time and our guide Amalia was very helpful. I left my shoes at the waterfall and they went back for me to find them. It was an amazing day and incredible experience.
