You must visit this gem! We had a great time snorkelling with the whale shark which were very gentle and friendly. This costs p1000 per pax for foreigners and the underwater camera can be rented at p550, and they can transfer the photos directly to your iPhone! There’s also toilet and change rooms available. You can wash off at an outdoor shower after snorkelling. Do note that there is a time limit of 30 mins for snorkelling and we waited for around an hour from 7am to 8am for our turn!

Easy to get to , cost P1000 per person . If you go early enough you can go straight down to business . It was nice to see such an amazing animals, but at the same time made me feel really sad as they are being exploited by everyone. As you get there you can see that there are at least 6 people in different boats feeding them so they are distracted while you’re there . As you get closer you can tell that there is feeding going on as the place stinks . Did I enjoyed ? Yes . But not as much as I wished .
Worth to visit! Follow simple rules ok! Respect the rules and regulations. It's an open water, swim with the whale sharks... have fun!!
Make sure to book the tour through your hotel or hostel as they go ahead of time to purchase the tickets and line up the morning of to get placed in the boats for you. This saves a whole bunch of waiting time. I stayed in Oslob the night before and woke up at 5am, got to the briefing at 5:20, got in the boats by 6am, done with the swim by 6:30, back in hotel by 7am.
I really had a great experience with the whale shark.
Swimming with the gentle giants. They don't care that you are there.
Must go in the first morning to get tickets. Fantastic experience. Guides explain rules all the time but ones in the water nobody cares about tourists that touch whales. There is not control or respect for those creatures Please be conscious and take care of them!
Very busy but well organised at the same time thanks to George Whale Shark Tours. They were super friendly and extremely organised, made our day.
