This day tour departs early in the morning from hotels in Cebu City, Mactan and Lapu-Lapu and takes you to Oslob in southern Cebu to swim with whale sharks. After a short briefing, put on a life jacket and mask and meet the whale sharks up close in clear water. Then visit Tumalog Falls, where water pours down limestone cliffs, for a refreshing break. Round-trip transport, the whale shark swimming registration fee and snorkeling gear are included, and depending on the option you can add sardine snorkeling or Kawasan canyoneering.
After an early-morning pickup from your hotel lobby, travel south along the Cebu coast for about 3–4 hours. Coastal villages and green scenery line the way, and on arrival in Oslob there is time for breakfast (at your own expense).
After a short briefing, enter the clear water with a boat guide and meet whale sharks up close for about 30 minutes. You stay on the surface wearing a life jacket, so non-swimmers can join too. You must follow the local rules, such as not touching the whale sharks and not applying sunscreen in the water.
A short drive takes you to Tumalog Falls, surrounded by jungle. Walk down a short, easy path to the waterfall flowing over limestone cliffs. Spend about 30 minutes cooling off in the water or enjoying the scenery.
After lunch in Oslob (at your own expense), drive about 3 hours back to your hotel. The Oslob & Tumalog option arrives around 1:00–2:00 PM, and options including sardine snorkeling arrive around 4:00–6:00 PM.
※ Whale sharks are wild animals, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Due to high demand, you may wait 2–3 hours in Oslob before swimming with the whale sharks.
※ The Kawasan canyoneering option does not visit Tumalog Falls due to time constraints.
