Amazing day trip to Oslob - We got picked up at 5 am in Cebu City. The driver was very competent, safe and arrived 30 min early. We got handed to our guide, Maxene, she was very friendly and recommended us to go monkey watching, which was also amazing. Overall unforgettable experience, would recommend to anyone!

Amazing Experience!! - Awesome experience! Do it with a guide for sure! The lineups without a guided tour look like they take a long time to get out on the water to swim! My guide (I think Dan was her name) was great! She made the experience so much more efficient, fun and exciting than trying to do this alone.

I am still left speechless - Wow, what can I say, an experience I will never forget to the day I die! It was amazing watching and swimming with these amazing gentle giants. It was if they knew we meant them no harm and there was a mutual connection, and so awe inspiring when they brush against you as they swim past you, and they seem to look into your soul, it was a almost emotional experience for me and my gf, and well worth the cost of the experience. And Oslob is a beautiful place with many other tourist places to see..

Whale shark watching - The whole experience was amazing seeing the giants of the sea just infront of you. Looking forward to be back amd swim with them again soon.

Almost a guaranteed sighting of whale sharks - Is it unethical? That’s not for me to say. I can tell you it employs a LOT of people and none of the whale sharks I saw appeared injured or distressed. If they were in an enclosed space it may be a different matter but they are free to come and go as they please. That said it appeared well organized when we went. We arrived there at about 8 and it wasn’t at all the nightmare I’d read about during the busy season. We were issued the warnings about staying away from them, no suntan lotion etc. got our required life jackets and were on a boat in minutes. You can see them fine from the boat even if you don’t go in the water. Someone I was with can’t swim and she was happy with what she saw. The water was a bit rough so everyone on our boat just hung onto the pontoons while snorkeling. You have 30 mins. That was my only opportunity to see a whale shark and I’m happy I went.

Cool whales with non-cool organization - Certainly whales are beautiful. And there are a lot of them. But if you come swimming on the surface with them and run into a sudden flash mob of a thousand Chinese, you're going to hell in line for three to five hours. Waiting area arrangements are terrible, you'll be allowed to spend a real 15 minutes in the water. Be prepared for this turn or come dive underwater.

Unethical activity, I wouldn't do it again - This activity is very unethical: whale sharks are attracted near the beach in the morning and then are blocked in an area delimited by buoys for the rest of the day where they are fed to come and swim near the tourists. They are then released in the evening and come back every day... I did not appreciate it at all, if you can turn to better organizations…

Horrific experience - The worst activity I have ever done in my life. I regret having participated in this business ... quick description: thousands of people waiting by a beach, 30 boats in the water that make a circuit 20m from the beach where whale sharks are fed. No distance rules are observed with animals.

To flee - It's like Marineland, or worse...! The shark is fed constantly to stay in front of tourists (no more migration for the pleasure of tourists). Dozens and dozens of boats are around them most people do not respect the animal and touch it or get too close! Guides say nothing, profit above all! We must boycott this kind of practice that harms the animal! To have seen what happened your way would save you 2 hours drive!

Worst Whale Watching Experience - Worst experience ever, from the unorganized queue system to the guides and boat paddlers. They only prioritize foreigners and always ask your nationality to determine their treatment. Whale watching in Bohol is much nicer.
