Oslob Whale Shark Watching

Just after daybreak, small boats gather off southern Cebu. Fishers scatter tiny shrimp, and whale sharks come to feed near the surface. Encounters in Oslob are more predictable because of this provisioning, which is also the source of a serious conservation debate. Understand the cost behind the convenience before deciding whether to visit; Donsol and Ningaloo offer alternatives where whale sharks are not fed.
