From Dumaguete, you can easily acess to Oslob for the most popular whale shark watching. Just took a ferry about 30mins, then bus to the whale village -Oslob. I choose to stay this nice hotel just next to the whale shark watching spot. The hotel will offer you to buy tickets and even queue for the hotel guests, so we don't need to wait there with lots of people. Just when our No. is near, they will gather us and take us to wait by the sea. Tumalog waterfall is also a must see, beautiful waterfall, can swim, but better wear the river tracing shoes, also for the whale shark watching.#oslob #whaleshark #cebu #cebu

Checking Off a Bucket List Item - Swimming with Whale Sharks in Oslob, Cebu. 🐋
Tick swimming with whale sharks off the bucket list! In Oslob, Cebu, I had the incredible opportunity to witness these gentle giants up close and personal. The majestic beauty of the whale sharks left me in awe, reminding me of the importance of marine conservation. Oslob, with its breathtaking underwater world and vibrant marine life, is a destination that will touch your heart and soul. So, gear up and dive into the waters of Oslob for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with these incredible creatures. 🐋💙

Swim w/ the WHALESHARKS of Cebu, Philippines!
If you're traveling on a budget, plan a DIY trip to Oslob to swim with the whale sharks. For locals it's Php 500, and about $20 USD for tourists for the 30-minute experience. There are buses that will bring you straight to Oslob from Cebu City terminal for about 300 pesos.
You will not be allowed to touch these gentle giants but they will swim so close to you that their fins would sometimes touch you like they did to me! It's one of the best experiences of my life!
Pack your bags. Go to #cebuphilippines #oslob

Whale Shark Party
Swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu. Such a fun and unforgettable experience 🤩 Make sure to book a tour guide (there’s so many to choose from)! They’ll pick you up from your hotel, and take care of the rest, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the adventure. We got free breakfast, went to a waterfall, and learned so much. The highlight of our trip for sure! #cebu #philippines #whaleshark

Fun Times with Whale Sharks of Oslob, Cebu
I and my girlfriend, Coleen, had the chance to swim in the clean waters of Oslob, Cebu and witness the gigantic whale sharks enjoying their time near the coastline. According to the locals, tourists aren’t back yet in numbers as large as pre-pandemic, but local and foreign travelers alike have begun trickling back in. The fewer number of people allowed us the chance to spend “quality time” with the whale sharks, locally called “butanding,” which willingly or unwillingly joined us for souvenir underwater photos! The local fisherfolk and boatmen are more than happy to help tourists capture the rare moments through the GoPro cameras available for rent!

The gentle giant! THEY ARE SO BIG AND VERY CALM!!! Very friendly, he ate his food near our boat. 😂

Vacation in Oslob Cebu
Happy holiday in oslob does not follow the guidelines on how to properly
take care of whale sharks. I researched about it and
found out they have many violations that can be
considered in animal cruelty. Many organizations offer to
help them do it the right way but they still haven't done
anything. If you love nature and animals, you wont go
here. There are better places like Donsol.
Whale Sharks in Oslob Philippines was an unforgettable
day. The Whale Shark is the world's largest fish and I was
able to swim next to several of these beautiful beasts in
Oslob, Philippines. Oslob is 2-3 hours south from Cebu
City.
