What you can expect

Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Cebu City, Mandaue City, or Lapu-Lapu City (Mactan). Sit back and enjoy a scenic drive along Cebu’s southern coastline to Oslob.

Upon arrival, attend a short safety briefing before entering the water for an unforgettable encounter with the world’s largest fish—the whale shark. Observe these gentle giants responsibly while following the instructions of your local guides.

After the whale shark experience, you may choose to visit Tumalog Falls (optional), a beautiful curtain-like waterfall surrounded by lush tropical scenery. Access depends on current site conditions and local government operations.

Continue to Kawasan Falls, one of Cebu’s most famous natural attractions. Swim in its crystal-clear turquoise waters, admire the cascading waterfalls, or simply relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Enjoy a delicious local Filipino lunch before travelling to Moalboal, home of the spectacular Sardine Run. Snorkel among huge schools of shimmering sardines and keep an eye out for wild green sea turtles. As these are wild marine animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

After an incredible day exploring South Cebu, relax during the return journey with evening drop-off at your hotel.
