Cebu: Oslob Whale Sharks, Tumalog Falls and Moalboal Sardine Run

Swim beside whale sharks — the largest fish in the ocean — in Oslob, cool off beneath the cascading curtain of Tumalog Falls, then snorkel into the world-famous Moalboal sardine run, where millions of silver fish swirl in a living tornado just metres from shore, often alongside wild sea turtles. This fully guided, full-day adventure starts with early hotel pickup in Cebu and a scenic drive down the island's south coast. In Oslob you'll board a traditional paddle boat to snorkel with the gentle giants; a short ride away, Tumalog Falls drops in a misty veil over a turquoise pool. After lunch you'll head to Moalboal for the sardine run and turtle snorkeling — one of the Philippines' most jaw-dropping underwater spectacles. Everything is taken care of: hotel transfers, breakfast, lunch, snorkeling gear, and all entrance and government fees — including the Oslob whale-shark fee — are included, so there are no surprise costs on the day.
