What To Expect
Whale shark watching has become one of the most sought-after activities to do when in Cebu. It operates in Oslob, a small town located in the southernmost part of Cebu, approximately 3 to 4 hours from the city. It has become popular due to the whale sharks or locally known as “butanding that are emerging and are freely swimming in the sea water. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling or swimming with the gentle giants with the assistance of the town’s local boat men. To complete the fun, a visit to the Sumilon Island is a must. The island is best known for its clean and crystal-clear water and its breath-taking sandbar perfect for swimming, snorkeling and taking a lot of beautiful photos. Recommended departure time from the city will be 3AM since whalesharks only shows up in the morning. Pickup Time - 3AM ETA Back to City - 3PM

5.00We applied for the tour after arriving in Cebu, but we were unable to pay for it, but they were kind to us. Thanks to this, I was able to meet the whale shark that I had long wanted safely. I had a 9-year-old daughter this time, so I took a snorkel and a mask from home. I think it's better to use something you're used to, especially for young kids. On my way back, I dropped off at the mall and went back to the hotel for a leisurely shopping trip, but perhaps I had just given up on what to do when I realized I had forgotten my swimsuit. Ed, my guide, informed the front desk that I had left something behind. He handled all troubles from start to finish. We owe it to Ed and everyone else at your company to make this family trip a success, thank you so much. We will definitely use it again next time!
Whale Sharks and Sardines schooling.

4.00Good trip. They were punctual. It was a bit crowded ie the Whale watching but well organized. We also saw the Sardines schools. Driver Carlo great driver if you don’t mind Indy 500 type driving. I liked it wife a little nervous. Luzel our pretty local guide did good job and made us feel welcome. Overall good experience.
