It finally came true! I got to swim with the Whale Sharks and it all happened very fast, nevertheless the feeling was overwhelming! From my TV screen to reality, here’s my Whale Shark or Butanding watching adventure in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines!

On my third day in Oslob, I decided to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, did a quick prep up before my service arrive at six. Kuya Rey was a big help touring me around Oslob, and his service for a day riding the habal-habal is just right for my budget.

Tumalog falls isn’t easy to go to for before reaching the place you would need to do a long hilly trek. The trek is as exciting as reaching the falls. Good thing the road going there was already cemented. Kuya Rey (our Habal-habal driver) did a great help in bringing us there. The habal-habal ride from the Whale Shark station took us 10-15 minutes only. Then trek for 20-30 minutes depending on your pace, of course.

I’ve been longing to travel solo and it did come true just recently, my destination – Oslob, Cebu! After hearing a lot of stories and viewing so many photos about Oslob, I finally decided that I want to visit the place. The first thing that actually caught my attention to this wonderful place in the south of Cebu is the whale watching activity. Those gentle giants that I’ve only got to see on photos and videos are now coming into reality.
