Swim with Oslob whale sharks, visit Tumalog Falls, then snorkel Moalboal sardines and turtles on a full Cebu day trip.

“Was definitely worth the time and money spent. Grueling to start at 2am but realized the importance as soon as we got to Oslob. Our tour was very organized, and our driver Elizer was very good. We are a family of 6 and got the private option. Highly recommend this tour, and get the GoPro option. Those guys know their stuff. We had an amazing experience with the sharks, the turtles and the sardines. The Tumalag Falls was an incredible sight.”

13.Oslob Whale Shark and Moalboal Snorkeling Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 1 day · from $117

Swim with whale sharks in Oslob, then snorkel Moalboal for sardines, turtles, and reefs on a 1-day Cebu marine tour with pickup.

“The trip on the whole felt very disorganised. We had no idea what was happening next or who we were supposed to ask. We also didn’t get snorkels or flippers for the Moalboal activity, just goggles, which was disappointing as it was advertised as a snorkel tour. Saying this, it was great to see the sardines, whale sharks and the turtles, a very rare experience. We also appreciated how early the tour started giving us a lower wait time for the whale sharks. I would highly recommend renting the Go-Pro for 550 pesos, the videos are great!”
