Oslob Whaleshark Watching & Sumilon Island Day Tour

I think this was the best experience of my life (other than having my children of course) our driver Jearson was so nice we chatted a lot about England and the Philippines, on our 6 hour round trip with him. Our tour guide Amalia was also lovely and very helpful. swimming with the whale sharks I will NEVER forget, it was just amazing. The falls was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited as was the island of Sumilon. Very tranquil and the snorkelling on the island was just beautiful with gorgeous fish to be seen. The light breakfast and buffet lunch was incredible, and the early start (3am) was worth every moment. one tip (you aren’t allowed to wear suncream with the whale sharks because of the chemicals it contains, so take a cover up) my photos of the whale sharks were taken on an underwater camera and if you ask the boat men and pay them a tip they will video and take photos of you with them 😁

Whale shark watching is once in lifetime experience and out tour guide Dee and driver AI AI were very good. Dee made sure we are moving fast everywhere and kept answering our queries while giving best advice. Overall very good experience

it was loooooong day. we took the Saturday ride and as expected, we were welcomed by traffic jam. you really need to prepare for this trip because it would take at least 4 hours, per way, to complete this journey. more than the whaleshark, it is my interaction with the boatmen that made this trip special. their hard work and dedication is a over the top.

It was an unforgettable experience! Everything went very smoothly, we were picked up from our hotel and then went to check in at the whale shark activity. We then had breakfast in a café with a great view. As we had to wait for our registration number to pass, we then went to see the monkeys, which was cool, but I'd advise you to take mosquito repellent. Finally it was time to see the whale sharks, and I can tell you it was a magical experience! You can rent a Go Pro camera to film underwater. We then went to the Sumilon resort where we spent the afternoon. There are two departures: 1pm and 3pm, we chose 3pm to make the most of it. My only regret is not having been able to stay longer at Sumilon. Otherwise, nothing to say, I recommend the experience without hesitation.

We had such a wonderful time with this tour. Our guide was wonderful! We arrived early AM to get our ticket, and our guide was able to trade for a lower number, we then enjoyed a light breakfast of sticky rice and mango. The whale watching was incredible and the island was perfect. Choose the later return time as there is so much to do. We paid $18 additional for a family of 4 to snorkle in the Marine sanctuary and it was SO WORTH IT! Cannot recommend enough bringing some extra cash for that. The lunch buffet was delish also. 10/10 recommend.

The driver arrived on time. The drive is 3hrs away and after getting our ticket for Whaleshar watching.. we went to Tumalog falls and it was amazing! Worth every penny! Wonderful experience and must try!

must join. this was a really eye opening experience for everyone who is visiting cebu. driver and tourguide were friendly and on time and took care of us very well. THE WHALESHARKS WERE AMAZING. need to really try this!!!!!! super recommend to everyone.

Is it tired the whole tour? yes... Is it stressful? yes Is the price a little bit high? yes Is it worth it? YES YES YES YES AND OOO F@KINGDOM YEA... we had to wake up early because the pick up was on 04.00...the driver came and from cebu city we had to do about 3 hours distance...when you ve been there ,you have to w8 also about 2 hours but when you jump inside the water,believe me,you forget everything...we had Johnrey as driver and Janine as guider...both very helpful but Janine was very lovely and beautiful person... you return in Cebu city about 18.00-19.00 totally "dead"... Aaa I forgot the island...you have the choice to return 13.00 or 15.00 but you must be crazy to return 13 00...you can totally relax under the sun in one clean and Virgin island...

Overall amazing experience. The day was perfect. Dee was a great tour guide. Our driver was timely and gave us ample opportunities to go to the toilet. We left at 4ishAM got there about 7:30ishAM. Whale shark swimming was grand. Our wait time was about 30 mins then we went to the Falls, riding the motorcycle was easy even for my 10 yr old who had to ride without me. Sulimon island was nice but by the time we got there, we ate and was wiped out from all the other activities so we didn’t get to enjoy all the activities that were available on the island like the kayaking, sandbar and infinity pool. The food was good.Make sure to drink plenty of water and wear a hat. We decided to leave at 1pm versus 3pm to get back before 7pm and because we were exhausted. Unfortunately the traffic back to mactan was TERRIBLE. Took us almost 6 hours to get back, maybe should’ve stayed till 3. The whale experience and island provided food and towels which were a plus.

While you are on Sumilon Island, ensure to avail their snorkeling activity at the Marine Sanctuary. We paid 400 pesos per pax (duration of the activity: 1 hour)
