Oslob Whale Shark Special Day Trip

Ready for the ultimate underwater adventure? Join us for an unforgettable day trip exploring the breathtaking waters of Sumilon Island, the Philippines’ very first marine sanctuary established in 1974! This excursion features three guided boat dives showcasing the absolute best of the region's healthy coral reefs, vibrant marine life, and crystal-clear visibility. Keep your eyes peeled, because you have a fantastic chance of cruising alongside whitetip and blacktip reef sharks and other exciting pelagic species. Want to make the day even more magical? Kick off your morning with an optional first dive in Oslob to swim with the legendary whale sharks!

We handle all the logistics so you can focus entirely on the fun. Your booking fully covers round-trip transfers, marine park fees, and a delicious fuel-up package featuring snacks, a packed lunch, coffee, tea, and soft drinks.

From Moalboal, we transfer by van to the Oslob pier, which takes about 90 minutes depending on traffic. At the pier, we board a traditional Filipino outrigger boat, or banka, for a 20-minute ride to Sumilon Island.

Upon arrival, divers will prepare for two boat dives at different sites around the island.

We usually schedule a longer surface interval between the two dives, which allows time to rest, enjoy the view, and have something to eat. Included in the trip are light snacks, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and a packed lunch.

After the second dive and a bit of time to relax and rinse off gear, we make our way back to Oslob and then return to Moalboal by van.

The entire day usually wraps up between 3:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon.
