Experiencing the Oslob whale sharks is truly unforgettable—swimming so close to these gentle giants feels both majestic and humbling. However, be prepared for long waiting times, which can stretch beyond two hours, especially during peak season. We visited in November during the rainy season and still saw a large number of tourists from all over the world. It’s very important to listen carefully to the orientation provided by the staff and to follow all safety guidelines to ensure both your safety and the whale sharks’ wellbeing. The entrance fee is ₱500, and if you want underwater footage, you can rent a GoPro for around ₱550. The bangkeros are very helpful and will assist in taking photos and videos while you're in the water. Getting to the site is also convenient—visitors can hire a jeep, ride a bus, or take a tricycle depending on their starting point and preference. Overall, it’s a memorable experience that combines adventure, nature, and a bit of patience.

Great experience. reached at 6am and had to queue for 1.5h they had orderly procedures and even educated us on the safety distance with these gentle giants. Was very strict against sunblocks and mosquito repellents Scuba masks were foc (sufficient for me) and it was a great experience. Would have preferred if they made all of us wash down before heading into the waters.

Very organized once in a lifetime experience. I really really recommend it. Maybe it’s not completely ethical to feed the sharks. But meeting such a magnificent creature makes people care about environment more About the prices, 1000 pesos for watching and 550 for underwater camera rent. Ask a guy from the boat, to makes pictures of you and tell him you will tip well if he makes an extra effort
