Oslob, Cebu is a small coastal town that offer several tourist attractions for the hoards of visitors who pass by. It is most well known for being one of the best spots to swim with the whale sharks.
Without a doubt, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cebu is the Whale Shark Watching or Swimming with the Whale Sharks in Oslob, Southern Cebu. It is a tourist magnet and over a hundred thousand tourists come here every year to swim with the whale sharks.
First, let me tell you how to get in this beautiful paradise of Cebu. If you don’t want to wait in the line for too long and avoid the horrible traffic in the city and the southern parts, make sure to leave Cebu City or Mactan at around 2 or 3 AM. From the South Bus Terminal (near Emall), ride a Ceres bus going to “Bato-Oslob”. All buses bound for Oslob operate 24/7. Bus fare is 155 Php /head (one-way). Just inform the driver to drop you off at the main Whale Shark activity site.
Whale shark watching is only available at 6 am to 12 pm daily. The activity is good for 30 minutes only.
Diving and snorkeling are limited in time and people and the activity is by batch. Each batch has 30 minutes to watch or swim with the whale sharks. Prior to that, there is an informative talk and presentation about the Whale Sharks and STRICT RULES to be observed during the activity. Enjoy and get fascinated to watch friendly creatures of the sea as you enjoy watching and swimming with the friendly whale sharks (tuki) in Oslob Cebu. Hope you get to enjoy this stresscapade vacation. Seeing this cute yet large mammals can surely erase all your stress away. Happy Travelling everyone!!
