Experience the best of both worlds on this private tour as you encounter incredible marine life and take in the tranquility of mountain lakes, all while traveling in comfort and style.
Your adventure starts with a pick-up from your accommodation in Dumaguete City or Dauin in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back and relax as we take you to the nearby Sibulan port, where you’ll board a ferry for a quick crossing to Cebu’s Liloan port. From there, enjoy a scenic drive along the coast as we make our way to Oslob, the famed home of the “butanding,” or whale sharks.
The first part of your journey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience: swimming with whale sharks in Oslob. These “gentle giants” can reach up to 40 feet in length and are known for their calm, friendly nature. Accompanied by our expert guides, you’ll have the chance to swim alongside these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, getting an up-close view of their beauty and size. Floating beside these peaceful animals, you’ll truly appreciate the magic and wonder of marine life. It’s an unforgettable encounter that will leave you with stories to share and memories to treasure.
After your encounter with the whale sharks, the tour transitions from the ocean to the mountains as we head back to Negros Oriental to explore the enchanting Twin Lakes of Sibulan. Nestled within the lush mountains of the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park, these twin lakes, Lake Balinsasayao and Lake Danao, are known for their serene beauty and crystal-clear waters. The lakes are surrounded by dense forests, providing a peaceful retreat that’s perfect for unwinding after an exciting morning in Oslob.
Upon arrival at the Twin Lakes Natural Park, you’ll take a short hike through scenic trails lined with native flora and fauna. You might even spot some rare bird species along the way, as this area is home to a variety of birdlife and endemic wildlife. As you reach the shores of Lake Balinsasayao, the sight of the tranquil lake, framed by towering mountains and dense forest, will take your breath away. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, hop on a kayak or paddleboard to explore the lake up close, or simply relax along the shoreline and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Following some time at Lake Balinsasayao, you’ll continue to Lake Danao, the second of the Twin Lakes. These twin lakes are connected by a narrow ridge and each offers its own unique beauty and quiet charm. Spend some time exploring the lakeside trails or just enjoy the views. This pristine environment is perfect for nature lovers looking to connect with the untouched beauty of Negros Oriental.
As the day winds down, we’ll make our way back to Dumaguete City or Dauin, with our team ensuring a smooth, comfortable return to your accommodation.
