• Unforgettable whale sharks but tour experience fell short

  The whale sharks were absolutely magical - worth it for that alone. Our driver and guide were kind, but the car smelled unpleasant and the tour details weren’t clear. The boat wasn’t private as expected, and the guide crossed some personal boundaries by asking for selfies and sharing stories that felt like asking for money. Still, swimming with the whale sharks was unforgettable and knowing the boats are government-run for protection was reassuring.

• You well be close to whale sharks, and get to swim next to them.

  Our experience was awesome, we had great tour guide Gene. Gene took care of all of our belongings, made sure we got to the whale sharks briefing and boat loading zone. She was very entertaining helpful and enthusiastic. The tour company was trek tours, which we booked through viator. We saw plenty of whale sharks, they are friendly, one even snuck right under our boat without us even noticing him until he was right next to us. After the tour our guide recommended a brief tour of tumalog waterfall, which was at no cost to us. The waterfall was beautiful, romantic and they have the fish that eat the dead skin off of your feet. All in all, I would highly highly recommend this experience.

  

• Total experience.

  A stunning experience, go bottle diving or snorkeling, see yourself a few meters from those skies is hard to imagine

  To flee absolutely!! Our tour started very badly, this “activity”, even if it supports some local people, looks more like a large amusement park. From hundreds of people are launched near whale sharks that are fed abundantly. No distance with these majestic creatures, who kick each other by tourists ready to do anything to have the best possible picture....I am ashamed to have participated in this circus....but I must take and make you this deplorable feedback.... There are other islands where whitewater encounters are organized, of course the encounter is not guaranteed, but it is respectful.

• Unethical excursion to escape

  The whales are therefore concentrated in one place surrounded by one of the nets, which make the area an enclosure, far from their natural space, chain boats with dozens of tourists on them leave every 5min, so that in one morning more than a thousand tourists could swim with these locked whales. A regulation is in place but very little respected (distance to 5m, do not touch...) people panic and touch the animals. To take their best picture people try to get as close as possible. This system is not tolerable, and other cities offer to see them in their natural state by protecting and respecting them. To flee!!!!!!

  If you require a tour guide and driver for Whale Watching, look for Rex +63 956 037 7590 He can pick you up from Cebu City to Oslob and look for a boat guide for whale watching. Be prepared to get ready at 4:30am because the trip from Cebu to Oslob is almost 4 hours. Enjoy!

  We cancelled our stay in Cebu knowing the conditions to see and swim alongside the whale sharks, thank you to all the negative comments and shame to all those who give 4 or 5 stars for this deplorable spectacle, shame to you, so you do not respect these animals...... Flee these vile activities

• Amazing day trip to Oslob

  We got picked up at 5 am in Cebu City. The driver was very competent, safe and arrived 30 min early. We got handed to our guide, Maxene, she was very friendly and recommended us to go monkey watching, which was also amazing. Overall unforgettable experience, would recommend to anyone!

  Awesome experience! Do it with a guide for sure! The lineups without a guided tour look like they take a long time to get out on the water to swim! My guide (I think Dan was her name) was great! She made the experience so much more efficient, fun and exciting than trying to do this alone.
