Exclusive Oslob Whale Sharks Tour from Dumaguete/Dauin
Tour Highlights:

    • Private, Comfortable Transportation: Round-trip, air-conditioned transport from Dumaguete City or Dauin.
    • Guided Whale Shark Encounter: Swim alongside Oslob’s famous whale sharks, with expert guides ensuring a safe and respectful experience.

Experience the breathtaking magic of Oslob’s whale sharks with Aqua Ventura’s exclusive tour, starting from Dumaguete City or Dauin. This private adventure allows you to encounter these incredible marine giants in their natural habitat, while enjoying the convenience and comfort of a fully guided tour. From the moment you’re picked up at your accommodation, Aqua Ventura ensures an experience tailored for relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

Your journey begins with a scenic, early-morning pick-up from your accommodation in Dumaguete City or Dauin. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as we drive to Sibulan port, where we’ll take a short ferry ride to Cebu’s Liloan port. From there, enjoy a drive along the picturesque coastline to the coastal village of Oslob, renowned for its incredible encounters with whale sharks. As the first light of morning illuminates the horizon, you’ll feel the excitement building, knowing that an extraordinary experience awaits you.

Upon arrival in Oslob, our team will provide a quick orientation and briefing on safety guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful interaction with the whale sharks. These “gentle giants” are the largest fish in the world, reaching lengths of up to 40 feet. Despite their immense size, whale sharks are known for their calm and docile nature, making them an ideal companion for a thrilling yet safe snorkeling experience.

Once you’re geared up, you’ll head into the water for the highlight of the day: swimming alongside these magnificent creatures. Imagine floating beside a whale shark, taking in its graceful movements and unique, spotted patterns up close. The awe-inspiring sight of these gentle giants gliding through the water is nothing short of magical. During this encounter, you’ll have plenty of time to observe, photograph, and appreciate these incredible animals, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Our guides will be there to assist you, ensuring both your safety and an enjoyable experience in the water.

After your time with the whale sharks, you’ll have the opportunity to relax, refresh, and take in the natural beauty of Oslob’s coastline. You may choose to explore the nearby Tumalog Falls, a picturesque cascade tucked into the forest, with clear pools perfect for a relaxing dip. This optional side trip offers a refreshing contrast to the open sea and is a favorite among visitors who want to extend their Oslob experience.

If you’re interested in exploring Oslob’s historical sites, you’ll also have the chance to visit the heritage-rich area around the Oslob Cuartel, an unfinished Spanish-era structure that offers a glimpse into Cebu’s storied past. You may also visit the ancient church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, a Spanish colonial church that’s perfect for capturing memorable photos and learning more about Oslob’s culture.

Following your adventure in Oslob, we’ll start the journey back to Dumaguete City or Dauin. Relax in the comfort of our private transport as we retrace the scenic route back to Sibulan port. The ferry ride back to Negros Oriental provides a final moment to savor the memories you’ve made on this unique journey.
