Oslob Tour

Located at the southern tip of CEBU, this small coastal town has become world famous because of the whaleshark attraction. While this is a controversial tourism activity, in 2014, a report by marine scientists have found  a ”bright spot” in terms of coral reef preservation due to less dependency on fishing as a means of livelihood, allowing marine resources in the area to heal. Working hand-in-hand government units and locals are collaborating to slowly transition the interaction to make it more sustainable.

Fortunately, Oslob is not just  about the whalesharks. It offers many more natural attractions like the most surreal  sandbar, a majestic waterfall, coral reefs, secret caves, heritage sites, and Spanish ruins.
