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.”
