A breath-taking experience with the truly majestic whale sharks. When you arrive in Oslob you attend a short briefing before you’re rowed out to swim with the sharks. They are gentle giants and feed on shrimp, small fish, and plankton.
If you’d like to see these incredible animals you can book a tour at our reception for 2500 per person. The tour includes transport there and back, entrance fees, and snorkelling gear. Discounts can be arranged for large groups.
The pick up time for this tour is 4AM. That’s because the Whale Shark centre is only open in the early morning time. Most of the time you will be back in Moalboal by 9-10am. If you like, you can make the day into a full day trip by adding a visit to the wild monkey viewing area in Oslob and a trip to Tumalog falls for a small extra charge.
Also please note the feeding of these animals has raised some controversy. There is currently no concrete evidence for, or against the feeding being detrimental to these animal’s health. We suggest you do some of your own research before you make your decision.
