claudio kawano

Canyoneering and whale shark were excellent choices to make for us!!! We’ve loved!!! Tumalog falls wasn’t interesting. Guides were very good and they give us towels to after trip to use. Everything was very organized.

Amazing personal driver and guide. Great food and very worthwhile tour all up! Had an amazing day

Pijus Peckaitis

Attention to us as an older couple and the organization was absolutely top notch.

Highly recommend this tour! Swimming with the whale sharks was a surreal experience. It was also very convenient that you can rent a go pro at the location and people on the boat offer to take videos for you. Lynde, our guide during the whale shark and tumolog falls was really kind, informative & helped capture our experience with great photos. Our canyoneering guide Joseph was awesome! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and have great photos and videos, especially with my older parents. We were very happy to have Joseph as a guide, it was enjoyable to spend 3-4 hours with him. My older parents who definitely were tired from the long adventurous day can’t stop talking about this tour nor showing photos and videos that were taken. Such a beautiful place and this tour definitely showcases the beauty of nature.

Come to palawan.

Located in the southern tip of Cebu Island, Oslob offers a plethora of attractions, including whale shark interaction, Sumilon Island, and Tumalog Falls.

Tan-awan village, just 10km from Oslob town centre, is a perfect spot to see and swim with these majestic creatures, making for a truly unforgettable experience.

When to go to Olsob:

The best time to visit depends on your preferences.

High season is from December to May, with Christmas, New Year and Easter being the busiest times. The low season and rainy season runs from June to November.

However, whale sharks can be spotted year-round.

For a more peaceful experience, it’s best to visit on weekdays when there are fewer crowds.

Getting to Oslob

From cebu city.

To get to Oslob from Cebu, you can take a bus or hire a private car. Buses depart from Cebu South Bus Terminal and take approximately 3-4 hours to reach Oslob. The fare is around 200-300 PHP (4-6 USD) per person. Alternatively, you can hire a private car or van for a more comfortable and convenient ride.

From Dumaguete

You can take a ferry to Liloan, Santander, which is about 30 minutes away from Oslob by bus or private car. The ferry ride takes approximately 30-45 minutes and the fare is around 70-100 PHP (1.5-2 USD) per person. From Liloan, you can take a bus or hire a private car to reach Oslob.

Controversial Tourism Attraction

The whale shark interaction in Tan-awan village attracts a large number of tourists every day. However, this activity is controversial as the sharks are hand-fed, which can alter their behavior and negatively impact the ecosystem, according to many scientists.

For those seeking a more natural experience, the whale shark interaction programs in Donsol may be preferable.

Despite the controversy, the tourism industry in Oslob provides benefits to the local community and ensures that the sharks remain alive, rather than ending up as dead fins in storage facilities across Asia.

Swimming with Whale Sharks

The experience of interacting with whale sharks typically begins early in the morning, where visitors receive a quick briefing before boarding outrigger boats that take them to the interaction area located around 50 meters from shore. Once there, visitors are allowed to swim with the whale sharks for a limited time of 30 minutes and are required to adhere to strict rules that include no touching, no riding, no flash photography, and keeping a safe distance of at least 2 meters away from the sharks.

Diving with whale sharks is also possible at an additional surcharge. Visitors who are certified divers can explore the underwater world and swim alongside these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, creating an even more unforgettable experience.

Whale sharks are the largest species of fish, known to grow up to 12 meters in length, yet despite their enormous size, they pose no danger to humans. These docile creatures are slow-moving and feed only on tiny micro-organisms. Swimming alongside these gentle giants is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Beyond Whale Sharks: Exploring Cebu's Natural Wonders and Adventure Activities

In addition to the whale shark experience, there are other activities that visitors can enjoy to further enhance their trip.

Sumilon Island

Sumilon Island, for example, is a stunning coralline island surrounded by a fringing coral reef. The marine sanctuary off Sumilon Island is widely regarded as one of the best-preserved in the Philippines, with a 100-meter wide fringing reef and sharp drop-off down to depths of 30 meters. This makes it perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, and hiking.

Kawasan Falls

Kawasan Falls, on the other hand, is a series of three waterfalls, with the largest cascade dropping an impressive 20 meters into a massive swimming hole. Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls is considered one of Cebu’s most extreme adventures.

Tumalog Falls

Another must-visit attraction is Tumalog Falls, located just a 10-minute drive from Oslob. This breathtaking waterfall features an impressive swimming hole surrounded by imposing cliffs, making it an ideal spot for a refreshing dip.

Description

The whale shark watching activity is an extraordinary experience one shouldn’t miss!

The whale sharks or locally known as “butanding” is the world’s largest fish. They are also called “The Gentle Giants”. They feed on tiny plankton, small fish and crustaceans. They are migratory and can be found in the warm waters around the world and often gather in large groups for feeding.

It has become a popular attraction when the whale sharks started to emerge and swim freely in the sea waters of Oslob, a small town located in the southernmost part of Cebu, approximately 4 hours from the city. Visitors can enjoy swimming or snorkeling with the assistance of the town’s local boat men.

P.S. If you’re exploring the south, don’t forget to read about our Day Tour in Moalboal & Kawasan Falls and Travel Guide to Moalboal .

From Cebu City, travel time is 2.5-3 hours.

• From Cebu South Terminal, ride a bus to Bato via Lilo-an (P155 per person, 3 hours). Inform the driver know to drop you off at the whale shark activity site or resort you’re heading to.
• Alternatively, you can also ride a van (P150 per person, 2.5 hours) at the GT Express Terminal along Junquera Street. Get off at Oslob town proper and then ride a tricycle or habal-habal to the whale shark activity site.
• Ride a bus to Bato and get off at the last stop. Transfer to a bus bound for Cebu City and get off at Oslob. Let the driver know you are going to the whale shark activity site or else you will be dropped off at the town center (10 km away), where you will need to take another ride.
• You can also rent a scooter for a minimal fee. This is a good option for budget travelers who are exploring the south for a few days.

Oslob Day Tour itinerary

Here is a sample itinerary for your day tour in Oslob.

7AM – 8AM Whale shark activity 8:30AM – 11AM Sumilon Island Lunch 1PM – 3PM Tumalog Falls 4:30 – 5:30PM Sunset at Osmena Peak 6PM End of tour

If you’re coming from Cebu City, it’s best to leave at 3 or 4AM so you’ll arrive early in the morning.

Here are the activities you can do on a day trip to Oslob.

Whale shark watching

Oslob is mostly known for its whale shark activity. Here, you have to ride a boat to an area where you can see the whale sharks up close. Sightings are guaranteed all year round.

The whale shark activity is located in Barangay Tan-Awan. Once you get here, you can find resorts offering boat tours to the whale shark area. The activity starts with an orientation where you will be reminded (1) to not touch the whale sharks and (2) to avoid wearing sunscreen.

First of all, we were amazed that the whale shark area isn’t very far from the shore. In fact, we could already see the tour boats before boarding.

The experience was great. The whale sharks glide in the water in ones or twos and threes, mouths hanging open. It was difficult to swim though since the currents were strong. Our guides were helpful in taking pictures. I was wearing a lifevest so one guide pushed me down the water while another took photos with our action camera.

What I noticed though is that it was easy to touch or hit the whale sharks unintentionally, due to the strong current and the fact that the whale sharks swim too close to humans.

• The activity starts from 5:30AM to 12 noon only. It’s best to get in the wharf early in the morning before the current gets strong.
• The activity is good for 30 minutes only.
• Bring an action camera. If you don’t have any, you can rent one with CD copy for P550.

After this trip, I’d read about whale shark watching in Oslob and learned that it is harmful to the whale sharks for various reasons . If you still want to have a whale shark encounter, a good alternative is that in Donsol, Sorsogon, where whale sharks are left in the wild.

Here’s further reading on ethical animal encounters around the world.

Sumilon Island is a private island famous for its picturesque sand bar. Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort is located here, but it is also open for day passes.

The island is just several minutes away from the main beach in Tan-Awan. You can arrange a boat trip to Sumilon Island.

We stayed here for a few hours, and it was time well spent. The water was clear and from there were different shades of blue.

• Day pass starts from 7AM to 5PM.
• If you’re on a day tour, you can only stay in the sand bar area.
• There are no stores here. Bring packed lunch or food from the stores or restaurant in Oslob’s beachfront.

Tumalog Falls is a 15-minute ride from the resort area. Ride a habal-habal to get here.

Tumalog Falls is an 80- to 100-meter high waterfall with umbrella-like formations, similar to Ulan-Ulan Falls in Biliran . The water falls gently into a man-made pool, which then flows down to smaller pools. The pool is a beautiful light blue. It’s shallow so it’s safe for kids, but it’s also freezing cold.

All I can say is that Tumalog Falls is lovely. It’s high so it’s difficult to capture whole in the camera. It’s also one of the best waterfalls in the Philippines I’ve seen as of yet. I highly recommend including this stop in your Oslob day trip itinerary.

Interestingly, I googled Tumalog Falls after the trip and noticed that the cement pool walls were a recent addition. I think I would’ve preferred it au naturale, but I understand that the local government also has to make it more “palatable” and “easy” for visitors. Anyway, as long as it’s clean and properly managed, I’m happy.

Sunset viewing in Osmena Peak is a wonderful way to finish your day trip in Oslob.

To get here, ride a bus bound for Cebu and ask the driver to drop you off at at Dalaguete (pronounced Dalaget), which is three towns away. From there, hire a habal-habal or multicab to take you to Osmena Peak.

Osmena Peak is one of the highest points in Cebu. It’s famous for its natural rugged peaks and a favorite stop for those who want to see the sunrise or sunset.

You can choose to hire a guide. The trek is relatively easy and takes only 20 minutes to reach the peak.

Here are some reminders and tips when planning your Oslob day tour:

• If you have more time, you can also visit Oslob Heritage Park , where you can explore a museum and Spanish-era buildings. Entrance is free.
• This is the usual day trip itinerary in Oslob. An alternative to the afternoon schedule includes visiting Tumalog Falls and then heading to the town of Samboan to visit its 3 waterfalls: Aguinid Falls , Dao Falls , and Binalayan Falls . However, you won’t have time to trek to Osmena Peak. (Another nearby waterfall is Kawasan Falls , although this one is best visited on a half-day tour.)
• This day trip can be done DIY. You can also booked packaged tours online.

Here are the current rates ( Updated as of 2020 ):

In a group of 5 people, a safe budget is P1400-1500 per person .

Hi! Thank you. Your blog is very helpful. I have a question. Do you know when’s the first trip of the vans going to Oslob? Thank you!

Hi! Did you guys just do this tour by yourselves or you availed a tour package from a tour agency? Many thanks!

Katherine Cortes

DIY lang but there’s a lot of tour agencies offering this type of tour rin naman.

hi! can you share info regarding boat rental? I’ve been looking through FB, but all are linked to a tour package. we only need a pumpboat for the Sumilon island trip

Hello. You can ask at the resorts in the area once you arrive. Ganun lang rin ginawa namin.

Im so xcite because i read a lot about in cebu theres a lot of fun..this is my list bucket for my vacation dis coming december in the philippines…i never canceled to go there with my family..thanks for sharing the xpirience in cebu

Hi. Just want to know if you can book directly in oslob for the swimming with the whale sharks? And can we join other groups for this activity to cut the cost since the tours i’ve seen in various websites are expensive for 2persons? Thank you.

Hi Em. Pls read our update. We don’t recommend the whale shark activity in Oslob – https://www.taraletsanywhere.com/swimming-with-whale-sharks-philippines/

Alana Delia

Thanks so much for this! I am planning my first trip with my sister and filipino boyfriend to do this travel together in south cebu,looking forward to it! Thanks

I’m planning a day tour for Oslob for my family. Would you know any beach resorts around the area where we can wash up?

2traveldads

What a beautiful place and an incredible experience! I feel like 4 meters is still too close for the creatures’ own comfort though, when considering their size in comparison. Was this area baited/krill-stocked to attract the sharks? I’ve read of that being done, which would be my only concern with visiting.

I think so, yes. It turns out there’s a controversy about whale shark watching, with environmentalists saying it changes the natural behavior of the sea animals. I think whale shark watching in Donsol, Sorsogon, is a good alternative to Oslob.

Adrenaline Romance

Amazing trip! On your next trip, try the other side as suggested by Mustachio. There’s snorkeling and scuba diving in Moalboal, falls hopping in Samboan, and more! Cebu has so many adventures and sites to visit. 🙂

Next time we’ll do that! 🙂 We only had a day to spare because we were on a connecting flight to Siargao then.

Have you been to the southwest municipalities in Cebu? I recommend boating/snorkeling in Moalboal, canyoneering in Alegria (though I haven’t tried this myself), going to the waterfalls in Samboan, Ginatilan, and Badian.

Haven’t yet! This is literally the only time I’ve been in Cebu haha. 🙂 But I’ve been seeing so much photos of Moalboal, Alegria and the waterfalls you’ve mentioned I think it’s time I actually schedule another visit.

I love the beach and the falls, swimming w/ whale sharks seems fun, but according to studies, it disrupted the normal behaviour of this gentle creatures.

Cai Dominguez- Travelosyo

I never been to the southern part of Cebu, I’ve been planning to visit oslob ever since. I love to do diving with Butandings too that’s sooo awesome. Lovely beach plus falls. Ohhh Cebu has a lot to offer. By the way, I explored the northern part of the Province when I went there 🙂

donnamariebb

The beach in Sumilon looks amazing!

Yes it does. 🙂 We plan to go back and stay in the resort.

Private 4D3N Cebu Bohol Tour Package

Booking a tour with a local provider on the other side of the world often feals like a leap of faith…BUT from the moment I made contact with Blu Range owner Hannah (she is simply amazing) I was in good hands. From start to finish, as we finalized the custom details of a 4 day and 3 night itinerary I felt supported and reassured both overseas in Canada and in the Philippines.

Hannah and her fabulous Team took such great care of us. I told her that we felt like family and it’s evident throughout – she wants to ensure you enjoy your stay and that all booked experiences from the first moment you interact with her extended team are living up to your expectation. She ensures that her Team guides you to all the designated locations and are accountable each and every step of the way. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail really shines. On our final day in Cebu – she noticed it was my birthday and as a touching surprise she coordinated the purchase of a small birthday cake at Carbon Market, wrote both of us a personalized note and provided a symbolic souvenir gift as a send-off – what a beautiful touch!!

Heartfelt THANK YOUs to Hannah’s extended team – we are extrememly grateful. Cyrus, your personal story-telling and knowledge about Cebu made the drives very educational and entertaining, and for getting us everywhere we needed to be on time. Oliver, your superb driving skills and extreme patience made sure that despite mother nature’s rainy morning forecast we were able to appreciate Oslob and Moalbal to the fullest. Jorge for maintaining a good pace while giving us as much time as we needed at each site on a full itinerary in Bohol – also your photography skills are on point!! Leye for being so warm and personal with your experiences – the food tour in Cebu city came alive; we ate so well, were stuffed and savoured the uniqueness and richness of the cuisine. One gets a real sense that Hannah’s Team also feels equally respectful of her – it’s highly encouraging!

Don’t hesitate booking your experience Blu Range Tours, you certainly won’t be disappointed – Hannah, we can’t thank YOU enough for making our time in the Visayas EXTRA special and SO very memorable.

TripAdvisor Review of: Ultimate 4D3N Cebu Bohol Tour Package – Semi Private

Awesome one on one tour of the Moalboal sardine run. This is roughly a one hour tour, and I got to see exactly what I wanted to see with a perk, sea turtles! I felt safe with my guide Jonathan, as I am not a strong swimmer. I also upgraded my tour with the go pro and had my experience saved in videos/photos for me and transferred to my phone after the tour. Overall, great experience.

The tour was amazing ✌️ We were a group of 6 and The staff look after us all the time showing us the best places and giving us the advices to enjoy the day Highly recommend

Such a pleasure! Visiting for the first time Hannah was amazing nothing to hard, everything coordinated and made our time effortless and stress free! Thank you, we will be back!

Blu Range Cebu Tours. Great contact with Hannah before our arrival in Cebu and during the vacation. Individual design of our tours. We had a great experience and a fantastic driver, Ryan. All in all, it really deserves 5 stars. Thank you very much!

Blu Range tours did a fantastic job in arranging a day trip to Moalboal from Cebu for my family. The price was very reasonable, and we were able to customize our trip. Our driver for the day (Ryan) was fantastic, and went out of his way to help us enjoy our trip. We started from Cebu where Ryan picked us up from our hotel, and driven to Moalboal to do the first snorkelling my family has ever done to see the sardine run. The experience was amazing, again helped by the divers teaching us. Jonathan especially did an amazing job in helping both of my daughters gain confidence swimming in and under the water. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone. It was a wonderful experience. Ryan drove us back to Cebu afterwards via White Sands beach and then a short waterfall stop. Thanks to all of you who gave us such a special day.

Lieznel was our tour guide, she was amazing at showing us around to different food places and explaining the history of Cebu! Bare in mind, you will be eating a lot (it’s not just sample portions it’s full portions every location) so make sure you have lots of room to eat. Lastly, The food that she showed was a mixture of everything Cebu had to offer and keep in mind it is all pure Filipino Street food so it may not be the same condition as Western Street food. Regardless, the food was delicious and overall a unique cultural experience!

Their package is value for money and they are flexible with the itinerary. Our driver/guide Ryan was awesome and courteous. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to experience the best of Cebu. Send a message to Ms. Hannah and you will get a prompt response. 😊 …

Our guide was very knowledgeable, took videos and pictures for us, carried our stuff throughout the Canyoneering. This was by far the best event I have done in the Philippines.
