Whale Sharks Kawasan Falls and Sardines Run Snorkeling

About This Crawl

A full-day South Cebu tour that packs in three headline experiences: swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, visiting Kawasan Falls, and snorkelling the sardine run and sea turtles in Moalboal. Door-to-door pickup from Cebu City or Mactan, lunch, snorkelling gear, guide, and all entrance fees included.

What to Expect

Early morning pickup (around 3am) from your hotel in Cebu City or Mactan. You drive south to Oslob for the whale shark encounter at sunrise. After 30 minutes in the water with the whale sharks, you head to Kawasan Falls for a swim in the turquoise pools. Lunch is served at the operator's base camp in Badian. The final stop is Moalboal, where you snorkel over the sardine run and spot green sea turtles. You are back at your hotel by evening.

Who It's For

First-time visitors to Cebu who want to hit the three biggest natural attractions in a single day. The 3am start is brutal, but you avoid the crowds at Oslob. Perfect 5.0 rating from 5 reviews.

Tips

• The 3am pickup is non-negotiable. The whale sharks are morning-only.
• Bring a waterproof phone case. You will want photos at all three stops.
• Wear reef shoes for Kawasan Falls. The rocks are slippery.

Verdict

At USD 107 for three world-class experiences in one day, this is outstanding value. The logistics of doing Oslob, Kawasan, and Moalboal independently would cost more and take two days. The operator handles everything.
