ITINERARY FOR THE WEEKEND OF DECEMBER 14 - DECEMBER 15, 2024

Pre-Holiday Thrills: Dive into Oslob’s Natural Wonders Before the Festive Rush

Get ready to dive into Oslob’s natural wonders with thrilling encounters and breathtaking landscapes. With partly cloudy skies and a chance of rain, this pre-holiday weekend is perfect for adventurous souls seeking unforgettable experiences before the festive rush.

Dive into the Depths: Whale Sharks and More

As the sun rises over the azure waters of Oslob, the thrill of adventure beckons. The weekend promises a heart-pounding encounter with the ocean’s gentle giants. On December 15th, the Whale Shark Adventure offers an early morning start, perfect for those who crave the thrill of the unknown. Imagine the adrenaline rush as you slip into the warm waters, the sun casting a golden hue over the sea, and suddenly, you’re face-to-face with the majestic whale sharks. These gentle giants glide gracefully, their sheer size and presence a humbling experience. The high UV index ensures a sun-drenched day, perfect for capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there. After your aquatic encounter, the journey continues to the Tumalog Falls, a hidden gem just a short drive away. Here, the cascading waters offer a refreshing respite, a moment to catch your breath and soak in the natural beauty. As the day progresses, the weather shifts to a partly cloudy sky, providing a perfect backdrop for your next stop: the Sumilon Island sandbar. With its pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters, it’s a beach lover’s paradise. Spend a couple of hours basking in the sun, the gentle breeze a constant companion.

Reviewed at 2024-11-22: Memorable Adventure - This trip is not just about the experience offered, it’s also an opportunity to have a view of the way people live on the island. You can enjoy all the amazing adventures offered, like close encounters with whale sharks at just centimeter distance, spend time on an amazing relaxing sandbar and chill in the waters of a waterfall before jumping in the thrill of a one of a kind memorable canyoneering experience surrounded by the beautiful nature of the island.

Conquer the Canyons: Kawasan Falls Awaits

As the afternoon sun begins its descent, the thrill-seekers among you will find their calling in the canyons of Kawasan Falls. The Canyoneering Adventure is not for the faint-hearted. This is where the real adventure begins, a test of courage and endurance. The journey starts in the mountains of Badian, where you’ll navigate through rugged terrains, leap into crystal-clear pools, and slide down natural rock formations. The adrenaline rush is unparalleled, each jump a leap of faith into the unknown.

The weather, with its gusty winds and high humidity, adds an extra layer of challenge, making the experience all the more exhilarating. As you make your way through the canyon, the overcast skies provide a dramatic backdrop, enhancing the sense of adventure. The journey culminates at the breathtaking Kawasan Falls, where the thundering waters create a symphony of nature’s raw power.

Reviewed at 2024-11-11: A long day but so so worth - This ended up being a private tour. The price was high, about 2x what I could have paid if I’d booked it after arriving in Cebu, but I think it was 100% worth it. I was happy to have the security of a plan, the guides I had were incredible, and I had private transport to and from Moalboal (which was especially wonderful at the end of the day when I was beat).

Snorkel with the Stars: Sardines and Turtles

For those who prefer their adventures beneath the waves, the Snorkeling Adventure offers a unique opportunity to swim with the stars of the sea. Starting at the crack of dawn on December 15th, this tour takes you to the vibrant underwater world of Moalboal. Here, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a dazzling display of sardines, their synchronized movements a mesmerizing sight. The chance to swim alongside sea turtles adds to the magic, their graceful presence a reminder of the ocean’s wonders.

The weather, with its mix of clear skies and potential rain, ensures a dynamic day of exploration. The high UV index means you’ll need to be prepared for strong sunlight, but the promise of rain adds an element of unpredictability, keeping the adventure fresh and exciting. As the day unfolds, the camaraderie among fellow adventurers and the expertise of the guides ensure a safe and unforgettable experience.

Reviewed at 2024-11-18: Best tour ever!!! - One of the best experiences of my life!! I would definitely recommend this tour because of the customer service and the great personality from the whole staff. Also, I don’t know how to swim. They made me feel safe in the water.
