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.

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...

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,,

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
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...

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

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....

+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...

+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..

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.

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
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.

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.

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!!
