Whale Shark Encounter Oslob Cebu

Cebu, Philippines

About Whale Shark Encounter Oslob Cebu

The most popular tourist activity in Cebu - snorkeling with whale sharks (butanding) that have been fed daily by fishermen in Oslob Bay, 4 hours south of Cebu City. Controversial due to the feeding practice but the experience of swimming alongside 6-meter whale sharks remains extraordinary.

Kawasan Falls Moalboal Cebu

A stunning turquoise three-tiered waterfall in the mountains of Moalboal, 90km south of Cebu City, with natural swimming pools and bamboo rafts at the base. The canyon canyoneering adventure through the Matutinao River gorge to the falls is one of the best outdoor activities in the Philippines.

Moalboal Sardines Run

One of the world's most extraordinary underwater phenomena - a permanent resident shoal of tens of millions of sardines that swirls in massive formations just meters from Moalboal's shoreline. You can snorkel directly from the beach at Panagsama to witness the hypnotic spinning ball of millions of fish.
