Engage in whale shark watching and swimming tours in Oslob, Cebu, where sightings are virtually guaranteed year-round thanks to a feeding program. A typical visit includes a comprehensive briefing, provision of snorkeling gear, a boat ride, and a 30-minute session to swim and snorkel alongside the whale sharks. While popular, the practice of feeding these animals is considered controversial by some environmental organizations due to potential alterations to their natural migratory behavior.
