What you can expect

  • Embark on a full-day adventure that begins with an early morning drive along Cebu’s scenic southern coastline to the town of Oslob, famous for its whale shark encounters. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a short briefing before boarding a small outrigger boat to meet the gentle giants of the sea. If you choose the private option, enjoy a fully guided diving experience for an up-close and immersive encounter beneath the surface. Guests on the shared group tour will instead snorkel and watch the whale sharks glide gracefully in the crystal-clear waters.

    After this unforgettable marine adventure, continue your journey through Oslob’s rich heritage. Visit the Immaculate Conception Church, a centuries-old coral stone structure standing as a proud testament to Spanish colonial architecture. Explore the Baluarte, a coastal watchtower once used to guard against pirate attacks, and stroll through the hauntingly beautiful Cuartel, an unfinished Spanish barracks that remains a striking historical landmark by the sea.

    This tour combines the thrill of swimming alongside whale sharks with the charm of Oslob’s cultural treasures, offering the perfect balance of adventure and history. Whether diving privately or joining a group for snorkelling, you’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime.
