    The actual whale shark and sardine run experience was great but wished they brought us to better facilities. The bus was average but strenuous for such a long journey. The bathing facilities were really poor at both sites. Please help tell the operators to improve them for future tourists.

  • Long day but well worth the trip!

    I was picked up at my hotel at 2:30 AM but this experience was worth the early wake up. Farrah was an AMAZING tour director and made sure we were all taken care of. Swimming with the whale sharks is something I will remember forever and the sea turtles in moalboal are definitely can't miss as well! It was a lot of driving but we were in great hands with our driver. They also very kindly provided towels, water, shampoo and soap! 100/10 would certainly recommend!

  • Very fun day. Definitely...

    Very fun day. Definitely long rides to do those activities but it was expected. Our guide Vera was super nice. Whale sharks, Sardines and turtles are fun the watch for sure. It is once a life experience.

  • Do not recommend.

    Drivers and guide on the car were amazing, very nice and always kept us informed of the schedule however I felt quite uncomfortable doing some of the activities. Whale sharks are fed to go to the desired location and boats stay on a line for the whale shark to pass by each boat with tourists. They were controlling that tourists wouldn't touch the whale shark so it was more or less ok. However, seeing turtles was a different story, guides were pushing tourists against the turtles to get a video or picture, there were groups of about 20 people per turtle. I felt really uncomfortable and decided to not participate letting the guide know that it was not ethical and turtles were not able to move or go up to breathe. He didn't say anything and did the activity with another guy on the tour. In general, if you can get to Oslob by yourself I recommend to do the sardine run and turtles by yourself renting snorkel equipment. Regarding the whale sharks, I have mix thoughts. I would not do it again but I was happy on how the guides were looking after the whales.
