Oslob

Oslob is the southernmost point of Cebu Island. It is a small coastal town famous for its regular sightings of whale sharks or the largest fish on earth.

As one of the few places in the world where whale sharks can be seen on a regular basis, the once quiet coastal town has been transformed into a bustling tourist destination.

Going to Oslob to see whale sharks is ethically controversial. Whale sharks are naturally migratory wildlife and should not be lured to specific locations through feeding.

This practice not only disrupts their natural behaviors and eating habits, but also makes them vulnerable to injury (e.g., when a boat grazes the body of a whale shark).

In addition to swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, you can also visit Tumalog Waterfall, Sumilon Island, Spanish ruins... and more. There are also Tumalog Falls, Sumilon Island, the Spanish ruins, and many other sightseeing spots.

Tumalog Waterfall

Located in Barangay Luka, near the Oslob Whale Shark Spot, after experiencing the Whale Shark Swim, tourists usually go to the Tumalog Waterfall, where they can not only watch the stunning waterfall, but also stand right underneath the waterfall and have a natural spa.

Sumilon Island

Sumilon Island is a private island owned by Bluewater Sumilon Resort, located in the waters of the Cebu Channel, south of Cebu. It is one of the smallest islands in the Philippines, covering only 24 hectares, and although Sumilon is a private island, it can be visited by boat.

Sumilon Island's sandbar is one of the best attractions on the island, where you can see the very clear water and white sand, which makes you feel like you are in paradise. In addition to the sandbar sightseeing, another way to enjoy Sumilon Island is to go to the Aqua Blue Hotel and use the hotel's facilities to enjoy the in-house restaurants, infinity pools, private beach areas, and freshwater lagoons.

Spanish Ruins

The ruins of over two hundred years of Spanish architecture have been reduced to ruins by the war, there are unfinished Spanish churches, and churches stained by fire.
