5 Tips for an Amazing WhaleShark Experience in Oslob
1. Wake up early: I had to get up really early-around 3 AM-to make the journey from Cebu to Oslob. It's absolutely worth it! Not only are the whale sharks more active during the early hours (it's basically their breakfast time!), but getting there early means fewer people and more peaceful encounters.
2. Arrive before the crowds: If you're planning to go from Cebu to Oslob, definitely aim to beat the crowds. By the time I arrived, a few people were already there, but it gets much busier later in the day. The earlier you get there, the more relaxed and magical the experience will be.
3. Well-organized system: I was surprised by how organized everything was in Oslob. From the moment we registered to the safety briefing and then getting on the boat, it was all smooth and professional. The locals and guides know what they're doing, and it made the whole experience that much better, especially knowing the whale sharks were being cared for too.
4. Once-in-a-lifetime experience: Swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob was absolutely surreal. These gentle giants are enormous, and being able to swim beside them was awe-inspiring. It's something I'd recommend to anyone visiting Cebu-truly a bucket list moment.
5. Some final tips: Bring a waterproof camera or, if you don't have one, there are local shops in Oslob where you can rent cameras and snorkeling gear. It's also a good idea to rent some accessories like fins or masks if you didn't bring your own. And don't forget to listen to the guides-they're super helpful in making sure everything runs smoothly and respectfully.

Cebu, Philippines|Beautiful Relics Park
#cebu #cuartelruins #oslob
Thought Cebu Oslob would only go to see whale sharks and beaches, I didn't expect that there is this nearly two-hundred-year-old beautiful ruins park - Cuartel Ruins
Spanish ruins, with the old Spanish barracks in Oslo, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, and the Spanish moat in Oslo 🥰, each wall is very interesting, plus the blue sky and white clouds, looks very shocking

Angelita Mary Grace Trocio Paradise Found: My First Magical Summer in the Philippines
#holidayitinerary
This summer, I had the most wonderful vacation in the Philippines—it was my first time there, and it was unforgettable. We started in El Nido, a truly stunning place with magical islands and crystal-clear waters. Every day, we woke up early to make the most of our time. We did two amazing island-hopping tours, Tour A and Tour C, which are among the most popular. The views were breathtaking. After El Nido, we traveled to Cebu, where we swam with colorful fish, sardines, and even whale sharks. It was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll always treasure.

Swim with the whale sharks in Cebu
Unforgettable experience at Oslob, Cebu!
Highly recommended but please don’t swim near or touch the whale sharks.
We took the bus from Cebu City to Oslob (2 hours trip) - cheaper than an actual private vehicle. Chose the bus with aircon so we were comfier.
Spend the nights at Moalboal, nightlife isn’t that wild so it’s nice, lots of food and good vibes around.
Booked a private tour to pick us up from Moalboal to Oslob. Did the following:

Kawasan Falls Canyoneering (3 hours!!! Very nice and clear water, once in a lifetime experience but personally wouldn’t go back again as it was really tiring😰) #kawasanfalls #canyoneering

Oslob-Cebu Whale Shark Swimming
This is one of the best experiences in our life. Swimming with a Whale Shark is an unforgettable experience. If you have the chance, don't miss it. It's a giant and so noble animal. It's difficult to explain with words how amazing is to swim next to a HUGE animal but it's really beautiful. The organisation is excellent and don't forget to plan with time. There are a lot of people in the queue, so be patient and enjoy

Our meet and greet with the gentle sea giants!🐋🐳
Whale Shark Watching is one of the top-notch activities to do when visiting Oslob. It is a tiny seaside town located on the southernmost edge of the Cebu mainland. These gigantic sea mammals are natural creatures that come and go as they want and anyone who wants to see them will float on a boat or swim with some few rules and restrictions. The activity will be done by batches. Thirty minutes are allotted to each group to view or interact with the whale sharks. Before that, there will be a presentation and discussion on whale sharks that will be educational. In this point also the stringent guidelines will be imposed and should be strictly observed during the entire exercise.
Getting there: From the South Bus Terminal, take a Ceres bus to "Bato-Oslob" (near E-mall). Every bus that is going to Oslob leaves every day, seven days a week. Just tell the driver that you would like to be dropped off at the primary location for Whale Shark activities. Fees vary according to seasons. Best time to visit is in Summer and preferably during mornings for better experience.

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception
The church was originally built in 1830 but was later reconstructed in 1848. It is one of the oldest and most significant religious structures in the region. The church is primarily made of coral stones, which were mined from the nearby ocean and quarries. The church is famous for its Baroque architecture, with intricately designed details that are highly typical of the Spanish colonial era. Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church is an old Roman Catholic church located in Oslob, a southern town in the province of Cebu. It is also called Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Conception, Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepcion, and Oslob Church.
