[Oslob, Cebu] "A whale shark right in front of you." And it's not just one. The moment you enter the water, your heart trembles.

At Oslob, on the southern tip of Cebu Island, you can have the amazing experience of swimming with wild whale sharks. Whale sharks are said to be the largest fish in the world, and are over 6 to 10 meters long. But they are very gentle and friendly, so you won't be scared even if you enter the sea. You will definitely be taken aback by the sight of them swimming slowly in front of you. ⸻ 📍Location Oslob, Cebu About 3 to 4 hours by car from Cebu city (tours or chartered transportation are common) 🕰️ Whale shark watching times Every day from 6:00 to 12:00 (morning only) *The first morning tour (6:00 to 7:00) is recommended as it has the highest visibility! 💸Estimated cost ・Snorkeling: Approximately 500 to 1000 pesos (tourist price/life jacket and mask included) ・GoPro rental available for taking photos and videos (additional charge) ⸻ 🦈【What's great about this!】 ・There is an almost 100% chance of encountering whale sharks.
