Observação de Tubarões-Baleia em Oslob e Excursão de Um Dia à Ilha Sumilon

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 😁

Oslob was amazing, we arrived at 6 30 with our guide Liegh (who was so nice and welcoming)to take our ticket for line up, then was brought to this place for breakfast. The mango sticky rice with hot cocoa was just what was needed for the day. After breakfast and changing we headed back at around 7 15 and it was already almost our turn, so the wait wasn't long at all as we had breakfast. We had 3 whale sharks surrounding us they were so cute!!!!! Afterwards we shopped around to wait for the 10am boat to sumilon. The beach was beautiful, and a breath of fresh air from the city or crowded sights. The infinity pool had a great view. The buffet lunch had Filipino specialties too! Overall it was very worth it as this was a once in a lifetime experience.

Tivemos um tempo maravilhoso com este passeio. Nosso guia foi maravilhoso! Chegamos de manhã cedo para pegar nosso ingresso, e nosso guia conseguiu trocar por um número menor, então desfrutamos de um café da manhã leve com arroz pegajoso e manga. A observação de baleias foi incrível e a ilha era perfeita. Escolha o horário de retorno mais tarde, pois há muito o que fazer. Pagamos US$ 18 adicionais para uma família de 4 pessoas para mergulhar com snorkel no santuário marinho e VALEU MUITO A PENA! Não podemos recomendar o suficiente trazer algum dinheiro extra para isso. O buffet de almoço também estava delicioso. Recomendo 10/10.

Foi uma experiência inesquecível! Tudo correu muito bem, fomos recolhidos no nosso hotel e depois fomos fazer o check-in para a atividade dos tubarões-baleia. Em seguida, tomamos o pequeno-almoço num café com uma vista excelente. Como tivemos de esperar que o nosso número de registo fosse chamado, fomos então ver os macacos, o que foi divertido, mas aconselho a levar repelente de mosquitos. Finalmente, chegou a hora de ver os tubarões-baleia, e posso dizer que foi uma experiência mágica! Pode alugar uma câmara Go Pro para filmar debaixo de água. Depois fomos para o resort Sumilon, onde passámos a tarde. Há duas partidas: 13h e 15h, escolhemos as 15h para aproveitar ao máximo. O meu único arrependimento é não ter podido ficar mais tempo em Sumilon. De resto, nada a dizer, recomendo a experiência sem hesitação.

Experiência geral incrível. O dia foi perfeito. Dee foi uma ótima guia turística. Nosso motorista foi pontual e nos deu amplas oportunidades para ir ao banheiro. Saímos por volta das 4h da manhã e chegamos por volta das 7h30. Nadar com os tubarões-baleia foi grandioso. Nosso tempo de espera foi de cerca de 30 minutos, depois fomos às Cataratas, andar de moto foi fácil, mesmo para meu filho de 10 anos que teve que andar sem mim. A ilha Sulimon era agradável, mas quando chegamos lá, comemos e estávamos exaustos de todas as outras atividades, então não conseguimos aproveitar todas as atividades disponíveis na ilha, como caiaque, banco de areia e piscina infinita. A comida era boa. Certifique-se de beber bastante água e usar um chapéu. Decidimos sair às 13h em vez das 15h para voltar antes das 19h e porque estávamos exaustos. Infelizmente, o trânsito de volta para Mactan foi TERRÍVEL. Levamos quase 6 horas para voltar, talvez devêssemos ter ficado até as 15h. A experiência com as baleias e a ilha forneceram comida e toalhas, o que foi um bônus.

This was a VERY long day but as long as you’ve got patience, it’s worth the trip. We got to swim with Whale Sharks which was amazing to see, note that the sharks are being fed therefore keeping them in the area and I wouldn’t call it wild swimming with Whale Sharks. Would recommend doing it with the island day to make your money / time worth the long drive. The island was beautiful with pools and sea swim / Snorkle area and an a la carte lunch menu. The drive was about 3 hours there, meaning the we saw the sunrise the journey down. Our driver Reynan was friendly and safe. Note that there is a lot of over taking and bumpy roads (but this is common in the Philippines). Here is how our day went: 04:00 Hotel pick up in Cebu 07:00 Arrive in Oslob, get stamped and a number for the Whale Sharks 07:15 Had mango sticky rice for breakfast at the nearby restaurant 08:15 Went back down to the Whale Shark waiting area (note this could take longer depending on the number given when you are stamped) 08:30 Swimming with Whale Sharks 09:00 Back to the car and along to the dock which was about a 5 minute drive 10:00 Boat departs for the Island 10:30 Boat arrives, guide gives you a short walk around and explains what you can do 15:00 Boat departs from the island back to the mainland (can be earlier at 13:00) 15:30 Drive back to Cebu 19:15 Arrive back in Cebu (length will depend on day and traffic) Review on the Whale Shark organisation itself: We felt it was very chaotic. We understand the ticketing system and waiting our turn but after is where it all goes a little off. When your number is called you have to put a life jacket on and go down to the Rocky water (sea shoes recommended as it’s slippy). They help you get on a small boat (that seats 8-10 guests) where you have to step over waist height seats to be rowed out to the whale sharks. We were unfortunate to have a strong winds therefore making the water rough and a group where two got in the water but weren’t strong enough swimmers, two that had fins therefore kicking everyone trying to get a photo and two more that would get close to the whale shark meaning they were in a lot of our pictures. Overall we feel this could have been managed better and the staff could have been more helpful than “stay near the boat”. We think there should be a smaller number of people on the boats to make it a more enjoyable experience.

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.

É imperdível. Esta foi uma experiência realmente reveladora para todos que visitam Cebu. O motorista e o guia turístico foram simpáticos, pontuais e cuidaram muito bem de nós. OS TUBARÕES-BALEIA FORAM INCRÍVEIS. É preciso mesmo experimentar isto!!!!!! Super recomendo a todos.
