OSLOB WHALESHARK ENCOUNTER TOUR

The whalesharks in Oslob make for one of the most popular tour attractions in Cebu.  The gentle giant can be viewed in two ways: people have the choice of swimming with the whalesharks and will be provided with snorkel and mask for the experience, while others who are scared of dipping in the water may witness the whalesharks from their boat. As the interaction is limited for 30-minutes only, below are various itineraries you can consider when planning for your tour to Oslob. It is highly suggested that you pair your Oslob Whaleshark Tour with other spots like Sumilon (whether the sandbar or the resort), Tumalog Falls, Aguinid Falls or Kawasan Falls. Consult with a reliable travel agency in Cebu like Green Earth Tours and Travel. Our travel agency is accredited by the Department of Tourism, and we have an office in the heart of Cebu you can easily visit from your hotels.
