Oslob Whale Shark & Moalboal Sardine Run Snorkeling Tour from Cebu - with Kawasan Falls

Leave your hotel at dawn
to explore the seas of southern Cebu in one day

Before sunrise you are picked up from your hotel in Cebu City, Mactan or nearby, then travel about 3 hours south along the coast to Oslob in an air-conditioned vehicle. There is time for breakfast in Oslob, at your own expense.

Snorkel with whale sharks in Oslob

After a short safety briefing, put on a life jacket and snorkel gear and enter the sea to see whale sharks up close. The in-water experience lasts about 30 minutes, and the guide stays nearby to help with photos and keep the encounter safe.

Swim in the emerald pools of Kawasan Falls

About 1.5 hours north you arrive at Kawasan Falls in Badian and walk through the tropical forest to the falls. Spend about 2 hours swimming or relaxing in the turquoise pools beneath the multi-tiered falls. Canyoneering with cliff jumps and rock slides is available as an add-on option. Afterwards there is time for lunch in Badian (at your own expense).

Look for the sardine run and sea turtles in Moalboal

Off the coast of Moalboal, enter the water with your guide to see huge schools of sardines up close. Around the coral reefs near the shore you may also meet sea turtles. Snorkeling lasts about 1.5–2 hours, after which you drive about 3 hours back to your hotel, arriving in the early evening.

※ Whale sharks, sardines and sea turtles live in the wild, so sightings are not guaranteed.
