[2025 Oslob ] Travel Guide for Oslob Whale Shark Watching (Updated Oct)

Oslob, a town located in the southern part of Cebu Island, is a place where you can enjoy activities surrounded by abundant nature. Here's a guide to spending an active day in Oslob! ① Whale Shark Swimming Tour (Photo 1) The highlight of Oslob is undoubtedly the whale shark swimming tour! This popular tour starts early, with a driver picking you up at 3 AM to secure your tickets. Tourists from all over the world come to see and swim alongside whale sharks, which are usually only seen in aquariums. These massive creatures are truly awe-inspiring. While you're advised not to get too close, there are so many of them that you might accidentally touch one! 😂 Despite being sharks, they are gentle and pose no threat to humans, so you can enjoy the experience without worry. They spend their time munching on krill provided by local fishermen. Though it's an early start, this is a must-try activity for anyone visiting Cebu Island! 🦈 ② Tumalog Falls (Photo 2) Visiting Tumalog Falls in the morning is highly recommended, especially during the waiting time after securing your whale shark tour tickets. The falls offer a magical atmosphere with bats flying around and a green pool surrounded by cascading water. The waterfall is 40 meters high, and taking photos up close might leave you drenched from the spray! From a distance, you can capture stunning shots with rainbows 🌈. The journey to Tumalog Falls involves a fun ride down a slope on a local's motorbike. ③ Oslob Ruins (Photos 3 & 4) Oslob also features scattered ruins along the coastline. I visited the Cuartel Ruins, a serene spot with a view of the sea where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s a great place for a picnic, and you might even spot some adorable cats lounging around. If you’re a fan of historical sites, there are other ruins to explore as well. ④ Ice Cream at the Supermarket 🍨 After swimming with whale sharks and getting sunburned, treat yourself to some ice cream from a local convenience store or supermarket. Nothing beats ice cream after a day of physical activity! For those who love adventure, Oslob is a destination you shouldn’t miss! ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Oslob, Cebu 📸: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎

Did you know you can swim with whale sharks in the Philippines? While it's well-known that you can swim with whale sharks in Oslob on Cebu Island, I actually managed to swim with them on Bohol Island in the Philippines. It's a relatively recent successful feeding experience, and I'd heard it was less crowded than Oslob and a hidden gem, so I'd made my hotel reservations early on in Bohol... However, as of February 2025, the Bohol Governor has canceled the tour for environmental conservation reasons. 🥲 (There are currently no plans for a reunion.) I was looking forward to it, so I didn't give up, so I did some research and found a tour boat departing from Momo Beach on Bohol Island. I booked immediately!!! We rented a motorbike on Bohol Island, so we met up directly at Momo Beach and booked a tour to take the ferry to Oslob. While whale shark tours departing from Cebu City require a land bus to Oslob, we left the hotel at 3 AM and boarded a bumpy bus for a four-hour ride that left us completely sleepless. Instead, we decided to take the ferry to Oslob, which took about two and a half hours, which seemed more comfortable than the bus. We were able to enjoy the ocean, which I love, and even get to see dolphins up close. This time, we first arrived at Cebu Mactan Airport from Japan, then took a two-hour ferry from Cebu to Bohol. We stayed two nights at a hotel near Alona Beach on Panglao Island, then returned to Cebu by ferry. I spent two nights on Mactan Island, where the airport is located, and then flew back to Japan. Next time, I'd like to fly directly to Bohol Airport. It seems there's a flight from Japan, but it goes via Manila. 😄 If you're planning on visiting Cebu to swim with whale sharks, I recommend switching to Bohol and staying a few nights. Bohol was an absolutely beautiful island. ✨ Whale shark tours departing from Momo Beach and returning to Oslob are available on trip.com. Search "Bohol Island, Oslob" and you'll find several tours. ✨ To get to Momo Beach, which I booked this time, you can choose a tour that takes you there yourself, or, for an additional fee, a tour that arranges transportation from your hotel to Momo Beach. 🔍Please find a tour that's right for you. 😄 I hope this helps you plan your trip. ☺️ #CebuIsland #BoholIsland #Oslob #WhaleShark #WhaleSharkTour #PanglaoIsland #AlonaBeach #MomoBeach

This small coastal town in the southern part of Cebu Island is renowned for its whale shark watching, drawing adventure seekers and marine enthusiasts from around the world.

The anticipation built as the local guides briefed us on safety protocols and the importance of respecting these magnificent creatures by maintaining a safe distance and not using flash photography. The commitment to conservation and ethical tourism practices was evident, adding a meaningful layer to the adventure. As we donned our snorkeling gear, the first outlines of the whale sharks began to appear in the clear blue water below. The moment I entered the water, the sheer size and serene grace of the whale sharks struck me. Despite their daunting size, these filter-feeding giants were incredibly gentle as they glided effortlessly through the water, occasionally breaking the surface with their massive mouths to feed on plankton. Swimming alongside the whale sharks was a surreal and humbling experience. Being in such close proximity to these enormous yet docile fish was awe-inspiring. The visibility was excellent, allowing us to see the beautiful patterns on their skin and their calm, unbothered movements as they navigated the waters with tourists observing from a respectful distance. The local guides were knowledgeable and passionate about their roles in protecting and educating people about whale sharks. Their guidance made the experience not only exciting but also informative, providing insights into the life cycle and migration patterns of these creatures.

This is a tour to swim with whale sharks. It's not too expensive, and the atmosphere and security are relatively good, so I highly recommend it. There was a woman who participated alone. It takes at least 3 hours by car from downtown Cebu, so you'll have to spend a whole day there, but I think it's worth it. The time you spend swimming with the whale sharks is also quite long, and although it's just how long it feels, I think it was more than 20 minutes. The whale sharks come pretty close, so you need to be careful not to come into contact with them. Personally, I think it's a place that anyone going to Cebu should definitely visit. #cebu #cebuisland #oslob #whaleshark #whaleshark

The first time I came to Oslob to swim with whale sharks was a very special memory. The whale sharks were very close to me. The unit gave a safety briefing before I went into the water. The swimming time was about half an hour, and the water temperature was not too cold. Overall, it's a trip worth trying. #oslob

It is more convenient to go to Oslob by joining a tour group. You can swim with whale sharks, go to the beach, see waterfalls, visit ancient monuments, and a lunch is included. The hotel will pick you up at 3am, but the car is not big, and then we will go to Oslob, the whole journey will take about 2-3 hours Arriving in Oslob, the first attraction is of course to swim with whale sharks, but there are too many people there on weekends, so we have to eat while waiting. It was a great experience to have my first contact with a whale shark. Because I couldn’t apply sunscreen (to protect the marine environment), I bought a sunscreen jacket locally at a good price. At the 2nd stop, we went to see the waterfall. We had to take a short motorcycle ride to get there. The water of the waterfall was clear and transparent. The 3rd stop is Sumilon Sand Bar. You need to take a boat to the island 🏝️, but due to high tide, the Sand Bar was covered and everyone could only play in the water. The 4th stop is the ruins park-Cuartel Ruins Spanish relics include the old Spanish barracks in Oslo, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, and the Spanish fort in Oslo. 🎬 Bonus: If you have time, you might as well try this massage shop, they also have Gel nail service Address: Oslob, Cebu, Philippines #Philippines #Cebu #Good Places for Families #Overseas Travel

Another popular attraction in the southernmost part of Cebu - in the town of Oslob is Whale Shark watching. Whale Sharks are known to be the biggest species in the world and you can see them close in Oslob! You can also have a close encounter by snorkeling with them. The experience is indeed very memorable and enjoyable. A lot of people flock the area so it is best to go there early so you get to go first in line! Both locals and foreigners visit this place. Oslob is a nice place and the locals are very friendly.

Getting There - From Sibulam port by Ferry to Oslob, south of Cebu Attractions - Whale shark watching, Tumalog waterfall Hotels - Aloha beach hotel Food & Restaurants - La terrace Shopping - souvenir shopping Oslob, Philippines 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

Hello, this is Kkotmyo ෆ I went to Cebu for 3 nights and 5 days, and the schedule was to return home early on the day of the final exam. My friends were in different classes so they had free time, but I was the only one..! Everyone can do this much :)..!! - "Day 1" 📍Boarding the activity vehicle (airport pick-up) We were scheduled to arrive at 3:25 in the morning, but we changed the pick-up time to 4:00 but we had to leave our luggage, so we wanted to go early, and luckily, the change was made ꈍ◡ꈍ 📍#Arrival in Oslob and #Whale Shark Tour After arriving, I changed my clothes in the changing room, and after walking a little, I could see the ocean right away. Because there were so many people, I think we waited a little bit to get in by number. Um, about 20 minutes? But since we were taking pictures and having fun, the time flew by? 📍#Move to Tumalon Falls and Tour You can't see it in the picture, but I saw a rainbow, took pictures, and played But I didn't go into the water haha The water was cloudier than I thought.. There were a lot of bugs.. After looking around for about 5 minutes 📍Exploring the ruins and taking a break on the trail I don't know what it was, But I saw the Ferris wheel and it was a great place to take pictures! I took a lot of great shots, but I deleted them because they were ugly~ 📍Arrived at #Moevenpick Hotel Private beach inside the hotel Just press the shutter to take a great shot This is the accommodation, beach, bar, and delicious food 📍#Lantau Restaurant Meal I can't say it was very delicious.. But it was still a great view~ It was a little disappointing because it rained #Cebu travel #Hot place #For couples

It's a tour that takes up an entire day But I'm satisfied after doing it, and it's a tour that I want to do again if I have the chance❤️ #HotPlace

#2023travelwish Don't chase the whales! That's the number one rule in our orientation in the Oslob Whaleshark watching tours. The orientation is the guide in order to protect the whales and to have our experience in a smooth flow. As nearly as close proximity to them, this experience is one of a kind. It's been the highlight of my Oslob trip. But this experience requires every visitors to be responsible one. Don't touch the whales or chase them. When was the last time you encountered such ones in a lifetime experience? I am glad to have one recently. Hoping in 2023 I will be able to travel in South Korea and Japan. That would be a one's in kind experience too for sure.

One of the tourist attractions in Cebu is the Whale shark watching or swim with the whale, the famous yet the controversial. The activity is good for 30mins only. There are marine biologists in the area monitoring the water activity. All tourist must undergo whale shark orientation. And there are some strict rules to avoid hurting the gentle giants like touch, ride, chase, flash photography & do not wear sunscreen. The whale sharks are wild animals and can come and go as they please. Cebu can fill your day with full of fun and adventures🐋🐳🐠 #beaches #cebutour

As you can see from the actual photos, these are such wonderful and precious scenes ㅠㅠ We toured through a Korean company and used a GoPro for the camera! The whale shark opening its mouth was scary at first, but it was cute and very gentle the more I looked at it ㅎㅎ My foot slightly touched the whale shark's skin and it felt very hard and rough #hotplace #whaleshark #oslobtour

🎈 Oslob Whale Shark Watching Tour If you book a tour, you will be picked up at your Cebu hotel at dawn and you will sleep in the car on the way. The tour will start upon arrival 〰️❗️ It was so amazing to see whale sharks up close and underwater, but I was scared so I couldn't take many pictures ㅜㅜ (It might be scary if you have children) I highly recommend a private tour, and the travel time and waiting time are long, so it might be difficult if you have many children‼️ #SummerIsSummer #Philippines #Cebu #WhaleShark

#Whale shark Watching Oslob Cebu City what a wonderful island! Babalik o Babalik ? #happynewyear

Oslob Whale Shark Watching - The Phillippines: This is such an amazing place for those who do not do the scuba diving. This is s chance that you can meet the whale sharks and get so closed to them. They ate so cute and really really LARGE indeed!! Highly recommened!!! 🐋🐋🐋

First of all the place is very far from Cebu City, perhaps if you are staying at Oslob would be better. Had to wake up at 3am to travel here. Once here everything is so hectic and so sudden. Brief introductions by the 'officials' (no one listens to, everyone is busy talking to each other and taking selfies). Once that you are crammed into small boats for a 5 minutes ride from the beach. Once offshore you are then told to jump to the water to experience the whale shark. #givethanks #givethanks
