To be honest watching the whale sharks is good, but the tour and these guys driving the boat is upsetting. Feeding a wildlife animal does not do any good. The second upsetting thing is that they don't allow you to touch it which we understood but they hit the whale sharks with their boat! It's upsetting to see a gorgeous gigantic animal with scars and being endangered by these guys.

Stephen Osborne - 8 years ago

Sorry Kierztin but you argument is moronic....Anybody thinking this is cool or great in any way....Google girl surfing whale shark....look at the images and then decide if you think this is responsible tourism

guerfali abdallah - 8 years ago

it s amazing video sorry brather i mean how to get oslob from alona bech mean how long and how cost and the boat its disponible thank you too much its nice video

guerfali abdallah - 8 years ago

hi brather mario i want to know how to get oslob from cebu

KierztinHD456 - 8 years ago

you can take a bus from south bus terminal.. if you will stay in a hotel at the city you can rent a van it would be more exciting if you bring a lot of companion because it would be more cheaper and there are also packages not only in oslob but you can also experience canyoneering, kawasan falls, aguinid falls as will... if you need help just try to contact me sir so we could arrange some packages tour for you here in Cebu...thank you...just be aware of the person that would take advantage specially if you are a first timer...

James Russel - 8 years ago

this is wrong, to close to the fish. this is exactly what the people of Oslob has been asking not to do.

yogi yogi - 8 years ago

that is sick/. should be illegal. protect animals. fish should not be fed for profit or your entertainment.

olifous abelo - 7 years ago

It is only feed from 6 am to 12 noon just for tourist attraction,, after that they go back to the deep on thier own,,and come back the next day,,

Stephen Osborne - 9 years ago

Nothing amazing about this...a circus of the very worst kind.
If you are considering going please do some research and find out why you should not support this.

KierztinHD456 - 8 years ago

they are not in a cage... they are free to go anywhere that is why there are times that nobody showed up and there are times also that more than 10 showed up... the whale just come back there because they are feed by the government...

Kaizen 86 - 8 years ago

u r right, those whale sharks are inside the cage, those villagers installed a large border to keep those poor creatures near the island.

Angelica Hannam - 9 years ago

what snorking/dive centre did you go with? looks amazing

Elena Sinmás - 9 years ago

I am sorry to say that, but it's a horribe and artificial spectacle, that should be ABSOLUTELY forbidden. Fedding whale sharks by humans does nothing good to these fantastic animals, but harm their health. In the last years, whale sharks in Oslob are not reproducing, because their nutrition, based on human feeding, is not appropiate. Also, staying so many hours at surface is causing them terrible sunburns, that after cause them terrible infections. In addition, on this video you can see several whale sharks with it dorsal fin with cuts and damaged, because of their proximity of propelllers....

PLEASE! If you love marine life, do not contribute to this artificial and harmful spectacles, that are damaging whale sharks life. It's a matter of sensitivity with marine life and awareness with this beautiful animals.

If not, maybe our children will never have the opportunity of seeing whale sharks any more....

bono hiuson - 6 years ago

So what is more evil, feed them or have them butchered when they go to North Asia?? C'mon..

ecf08 - 8 years ago

+norie “serval” m OK..sorry it was meant to the original poster who claimed propellers (he's lying definitely). As for the rest, it stands.

serval FPV - 8 years ago

+ecf08 I'm sorry but where did I mention propellers? Learn to read before accusing people of lying...

ecf08 - 8 years ago

+norie “serval” m Right ignorance is bliss(your ignorance in your case since you only see black and white). no need to believe in what you want .You can see for yourself. I went there and I can tell you that there are no boats there that used propellers(obviously your lying). The feeds they used are the ones caught there as well(these are fisherman and have no means for farmed feeds). While its true they are migratory, did it ever occur to you that big industrial fishery almost wipe their feeding grounds clean? Not to mention they might be caught as by catch on big thralling nets of this fisheries? Its no wonder maybe these animals are just smarter than you think and they learn to chose the easier route for food? You bark on these poor people yet big industrial fisheries has never followed science recommended on limits on fishing(due to money of course). Maybe the whale sharks you saw with lacerations are caused by big industrial boats (fishing and cargo) since they are known to cause problems for whales? Also did it occur to you that these poor fisherman finally found a way to make a living than catching them? or do you prefer to go to seaworld? How about the effects of animal agriculture on marine life? Are you vegetarian? You talk with little to back on I think...

serval FPV - 8 years ago

+Vicky Federigan believe what you want, many fish have been spotted with lacerations, sun burnt from being on the surface all the time, there migratory fish not supposed to stay in the same space for months caught in a tourist trap.. ignorance is bliss..

Cheryl Anne - 8 years ago

+Marinacation ...i'd be more upset seeing them poached and slaughtered. or being hit by properllers of big oil tankers.

Marinacation - 9 years ago

+Elena Sinmás I agree with this, and I was very upset when I saw this with my own eyes... I have a video about this on my channel if you are interested.

serval FPV - 9 years ago

+Stevennickel her statement is mostly true..

SilverBird - 9 years ago

+Elena Sinmás I call B.S on your theory simply because A: the Whale sharks are happy, and species breed when happy, and B: You can see the offspring nursing on them in half these videos!

prettymeanscowl - 9 years ago

olifous abelo - 7 years ago

ronald black - 9 years ago

Im well aware..just reiterating ... Once a person has reached enlightenment in one thing, he will have an enlightened mind and understand many things.

serval FPV - 9 years ago

if you read my original post i even says myself i was being a hypocrite.. so learn to read before replying ! duh

ronald black - 9 years ago

Ya then why were you there then ?....what a hypocrite. Glad you were so uninspired . Go to Sea World there you will see animals which don't have the option of retiring unto the entire worlds oceans.

serval FPV - 9 years ago

i have been and yes nobody is allowed to touch them or they get fined, but that doesn't mean ppl don't touch them !! and do you think the whale sharks don't brush against the boats ? do some research the " circus " is doing more harm than good !

ronald black - 9 years ago

Yes I have and if you had you might know that no one is allowed to touch much less ride on them.

serval FPV - 9 years ago

have you been to Oslob Ronald ? i`m sure you think its cool for people to ride piggy back on there backs..

ronald black - 9 years ago

NO different than feeding the birds .

serval FPV - 9 years ago

+ronald black Greg is right i`ve been and it felt like a circus ! totally exploiting these animals, yes there free to go but there getting free food, there supposed to spend most of there lives out in the deep open waters, not hand reared in the shallows ! i know i`m being a hypocrite but i didn't know it was that bad until i got there..

ronald black - 9 years ago

+Greg Bloom Alot of good comes from this place ..they are free to come and go as they please...you
ever feed a bird ?

Greg Bloom - 9 years ago

Uh,because they hand feed them. No shit, sherlock. This experience isn't authentic at all - no different than swimming with them in an aquarium. If that's your thing, go for it. Shouldn't feed wild animals IMO.

went there last month. after the shark watching we went to a nearby resort. luckily, 2 whale sharks passed by our resort and we got the chance to swim with them for free! Oslob, Cebu is great.

Roland Pañares - 10 years ago

Andrie SP I would suggest you go directly to Cebu instead of coming from Alona Beach in Bohol, which is an island fronting Cebu. Oslob is a province in Cebu and you can just take a bus going to the south and tell the driver to drop your group in Oslob where whaleshark (mostly known in Cebu as BUTANDING) watching is located. This system, you group will not be charged higher fee compared to coming from any resorts in Bohol. I am a Cebuano residing now in Manila and I just want you to have an enjoyable experience w/o that extra cost people charge to foreigners.

Theresa Aiza Bajao - 9 years ago

+Roland Pañares It is a bit more costly using the Bohol route especially that it's the most unheard of. Surge of tourists will soon bring these prices down. This route cuts your travel time tremendously, making you max out your day to the fullest. It's a good option if money is not an issue. And if well, obviously, you're coming from Bohol.

Adrie SP - 10 years ago

amazing video!!=) great lightning,very huge whalesharks..it's perfect!
my partner and i are planning to go to oslob next month and we kinda dont know the place more than what we've seen in internet specially youtube.i would like to ask if theres any helpful tips you can share about whaleshark encounter like which area is better to go,because most of the videos i've seen are not as big whalesharks as in your video,very crowded and water was very blurry.your video is very clear and looks like theres not much people.we would like to have an amazing and unforgettable experience and a good video as a remembrance.hope you could help us!! thank you.

Mario Neumann - 10 years ago

Hi Adrie, yes it was a really great experience to meet these whalesharks and swim with them. We have been on holiday on Bohol at Alona Beach and made this trip starting from there. It tooks us about 2.5 hours by boat to get there. The place is perfect, because there huge whalesharks and you really can be sure to see them. I think it´s one of the best places on the Philippines for stuff like this. Even when you spend your time on Cebu it is easy to get there. Enjoy it!!

DupiDiver - 11 years ago

Ist ein sehr schönes Video...tolle Aufnahmen...bestimmt GoPro oder ähnliche...;-)
Geniale Aufnahmen!!!
