Overview
Experience the best of Cebu’s marine wonders in a single day! Join us for an exhilarating adventure combining Oslob’s awe-inspiring whale shark watching and Moalboal’s mesmerizing sardine run. Witness the majestic giants of the sea up close as you swim alongside gentle whale sharks in Oslob’s crystal-clear waters. Then, dive into the vibrant underwater world of Moalboal, where thousands of sardines create a mesmerizing spectacle. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to encounter two breathtaking natural wonders in one unforgettable day.
We recommend this day tour instead of having a full Moalboal tour (with Pescador island) to save cost and time due to the damaged coral reefs in Pescador island by typhoon Odette (Rai) last December 2021.

The following seasons are Chinese New Year, Holy Week, All Souls Day, All Saints Day, and Christmas Week to New Year.
