Your journey begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Cebu City, Mandaue City, Talisay City, Lapu-Lapu City (Mactan), or Moalboal, depending on your selected tour option. Sit back and enjoy a scenic drive along Cebu's southern coastline.
Upon arrival in Oslob, our local coordinator will assist you with the official whale shark registration process before you receive a short safety briefing. Board a traditional outrigger boat and experience a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the gentle whale sharks. You may choose to observe them from the boat or enter the water for an unforgettable snorkeling experience under the supervision of accredited local guides.
After the whale shark activity, you may visit Tumalog Falls (optional), a stunning curtain-like waterfall surrounded by lush tropical greenery. Please note that access is subject to weather conditions and local government regulations.
Continue to the breathtaking Sumilon Island Sandbar, famous for its powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and spectacular coastal scenery. Enjoy free time to swim, relax, sunbathe, or capture memorable photos in this tropical paradise.
Before returning, make a short stop at a popular monkey viewing area where wild monkeys are often seen in their natural forest habitat. While sightings are common, they cannot be guaranteed as the monkeys roam freely.
