Sir Mark of McRich is easy to talk to. Kuya Marlon was our driver. He. arrived 30 minutes earlier. Smooth driving, not too slow, not too fast. Unfortunately, we didnt see the whaleshark nor embark on a boat. Sir Mark advised that they will process partial refund. We will wait for that. then we went to Tumalog falls, had our lunch then went to Moalboal. all our guides were professional and funny. we had so much fun. this tour is worth it even though we were sad that our Russian guests didnt encounter any whalesharks(((

I had a amazing day at Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort, stunning view, clean, delicious food and great staff. So lucky on my Oslob solo tour, i got a buffet on weekday pass. Thank you Klook for the affordable price and the chance to visit the resort. it’s a must visit. I was glad I visited Oslob

They arrived on time, they were organized and tourist guide Dina kept us company the whole time. Dina was knowledgable and easy going, we had a great day! Would definitely book again. Our driver Kuya Jess was great too! We loved seeing the whalesharks, they were abundant that day. Sumilon was beautiful. And Tumalog falls was majestic!

very early morning activity but lucky to have had a driver who drove smoothly and safe the whole 3 hour journey to Oslob. had such a fun experience doing the canyoneering. The instructors were fun, helpful, and just good vibes in general. Kawasan Falls was so beautiful. Would really recommend anyone visiting Cebu to try out this activity. As for the whale shark, it was okay. Great first time experience, but it was abit too crowded but great experience overall.

It was great experience from booking to pickup to the whale watching itself, our driver Kuya Joramie was very friendly and accomodating. he drove with utmost safety and care. ate Malyn who helped us during the whale watching was very kind to look after our stuff, ensure we get the queue and have an amazing experience. Kuya Joramie was very kind to do a stop over in Carcar for us to buy some lechon Cebu! awesome and flawless experience all in all.

Great tour package for our family after deciding that canyoneering was not for us. Day started with an early pickup and even though we had a delay with a flat tire, Harold was able to get us to Oslob safely and after getting our batch number, went on to get light breakfast (sticky rice, ripe mango and hot chocolate. Kudos to Princess for keeping tabs on our schedule and was able to enjoy our swim with the whale sharks and cool down at Tumalog falls before catching the boat ride to Sumilon. We had fun snorkeling there and the lunch buffet was excellent! Great value for the money and highly recommended.

Kuya Daniel, our driver, was incredibly kind, friendly, and always greeted us with a smile. He was easy to talk to, fun to joke with, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. As first-timers, we really enjoyed swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob. We appreciated that Kuya Daniel suggested doing the activity before breakfast since we arrived early. One small suggestion: it would have been helpful if the guide (don’t know the name) had recommended bringing or renting snorkeling gear. Goggles were provided, but snorkeling gear would have made it much easier to fully enjoy seeing the whale sharks underwater. The canyoneering tour was the highlight! Kuya Joel and Ate Dy were amazing — friendly, attentive, and always prioritized our safety. Ate Dy captured so many great photos and videos, while Kuya Joel encouraged me to conquer my fear and even jumped with me twice! Highly recommend this wonderful team!

General info
What to know before visiting Oslob
What to do in Oslob year-round
Oslob is best known for Outdoor & sports activities, followed by Water activities and Massages, with demand shifting through the year according to Klook booking data. The town’s calendar peaks in April when outdoor and marine experiences draw the most visitors, while October is the quietest month for bookings. If you’re choosing between busy seaside snorkeling and more peaceful on-land activities, consider timing your trip around those demand swings. Pick between peak-season atmosphere or quieter months is the main decision visitors face when planning an Oslob trip, according to Klook booking data.
When to visit and how prices move
Demand on Klook is highest in April and February, and lowest in October, with Aprils showing a large uptick in bookings while October is much quieter. Prices over the last 12 months drifted up and down: the priciest month was June (typical price USD 77), while December was the cheapest (typical price USD 37) — roughly 52% lower than the priciest month on Klook. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for December or the very quiet stretch around October; for the liveliest atmosphere aim for April or February when demand peaks on Klook.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | USD 73 |
| February | Peak demand | USD 47 |
| March | About average | USD 75 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 73 |
| May | Busier than usual | USD 65 |

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers from the United States book experiences about 9 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly 34 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can be reasonably flexible and often secure activities a week or so before travel, but during peak months such as April and February it pays to book earlier. For last-minute plans many experiences remain available up to 2 days before. Book on Klook to lock in preferred time slots for water activities and outdoor adventures, and monitor dates around peak months to avoid missing popular departure times.
