What you can expect
Your unforgettable adventure begins with hotel pickup from Mactan Island, Cebu City, Mandaue City, Talisay City, Moalboal, Oslob, or other designated locations within Cebu Island. Please be ready in your hotel lobby 30 minutes before your scheduled pickup. Travel to Oslob takes approximately three hours, depending on traffic and road conditions, with a scenic coastal drive through South Cebu.
Pickup times may occasionally be adjusted during peak season or due to weather, sea, or operational conditions. Any pickup/start-time adjustment will be limited to less than 30 minutes from the originally confirmed time. If we move your pickup or tour start time by 30 minutes or more, you may cancel and receive a guaranteed full refund.
Upon arrival in Oslob, your local guide will assist you in securing a priority number for the whale shark swimming activity. The queue is first come, first served and managed by the Oslob LGU, so waiting times may vary and are outside the tour operator's control.
Once your number is called, receive a safety briefing before entering the water for an unforgettable whale shark experience. Observe these gentle giants while following all wildlife interaction and safety guidelines provided by local authorities and guides. Whale sharks are wild animals, so sightings and interactions may vary depending on natural and sea conditions.
After Oslob, travel approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to Badian. Meet your local guide at the base camp and continue to the iconic Kawasan Falls. Enjoy a short walk surrounded by lush tropical scenery before reaching its famous turquoise waters. Swim, relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and capture memorable photos.
Upon returning to base camp, enjoy a delicious local-style lunch. Guests with dietary restrictions should inform us in advance so suitable arrangements can be made when possible.
Next, travel approximately 30 minutes to Moalboal for the world-famous Sardine Run and sea turtle watching. Enter the clear waters and witness enormous schools of sardines moving together beneath the surface. You may also encounter wild sea turtles swimming naturally along the reef. Marine wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Your local guide will assist you throughout the activity and help capture photos and videos when conditions permit.
After a full day of adventure, begin the journey back to your hotel. Travel time to Cebu City is approximately three hours but may vary depending on traffic and road conditions.
Experience three of South Cebu's highlights in one memorable day: Oslob's whale sharks, the turquoise beauty of Kawasan Falls, and Moalboal's spectacular marine life.
