Wonderful Adventure - Swimming with whale sharks, schools of sardines, tropical fish and a sea turtle is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was immeasurably enhanced by the wonderful tour guides and van driver. Van Driver: Nino Nino expertly navigated the incredibly chaotic and congested Cebu City traffic. His demeanor was calm, pleasant and absolutely professional. I felt safe and comfortable with him at the helm of our tour van. Tour Guide: Elvira Kind. Happy. Engaging. Beautiful. This woman commands at least three languages and seemlessly transitioned between Japanese and English. Her gentle yet decisive directions kept our group well informed and relaxed. Tour Guide: Mae Only superlatives suffice for this young and lovely woman. Her expert guidance and leadship serve as shining examples of world-class Filipino hospitality. She too is a multi-lingual wonder, and was easily able to communicate with travelers from Japan, Canada, Australia, and the US.

It's been a very enjoyable tour! Mr. May, be kind. - It's so much easier because the driver will pick you up at your hotel on the day of the activity. Our interpreter and guide, May, was very kind and kind and we enjoyed the time without worrying about anything! I was very happy to take many photos with whale sharks and sea turtles!

Cool option for the solo travelers that are ready to pay for convenience - This is a group tour, which means it's perfect for solo travelers like myself who do not want to pay the full price of a private one. The organization was on point. GoPros, water, soap - everything was provided as needed. Our guides were great too. The biggest downside is that you basically pay for that and the transfers. When you arrive at the swimming site - you are at the mercy of local guides. Thus we had to wait more than one hour for our shark swim. Also the sites are public and pretty crowded too. You will have more people than sharks on your videos and photos. Nonetheless, I did see sharks, sardines and even a couple of turtles, making the whole trip worth it.

Do not recommend. - Drivers and guide on the car were amazing, very nice and always kept us informed of the schedule however I felt quite uncomfortable doing some of the activities. Whale sharks are fed to go to the desired location and boats stay on a line for the whale shark to pass by each boat with tourists. They were controlling that tourists wouldn't touch the whale shark so it was more or less ok. However, seeing turtles was a different story, guides were pushing tourists against the turtles to get a video or picture, there were groups of about 20 people per turtle. I felt really uncomfortable and decided to not participate letting the guide know that it was not ethical and turtles were not able to move or go up to breathe. He didn't say anything and did the activity with another guy on the tour. In general, if you can get to Oslob by yourself I recommend to do the sardine run and turtles by yourself renting snorkel equipment. Regarding the whale sharks, I have mix thoughts. I would not do it again but I was happy on how the guides were looking after the whales.
