Kick off the New Year with a wellness retreat in Oslob, where the mix of rain and sunshine sets the stage for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Dive into the vibrant marine life and explore the rich cultural heritage of this coastal paradise.

Embrace the Serenity of Oslob’s Natural Wonders

As the New Year unfolds, Oslob in Central Visayas offers a perfect escape for those seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure. The weather on January 4th and 5th presents a mix of rain and partial cloudiness, creating a unique backdrop for exploring this coastal paradise. Start your journey with the Cebu Triple Adventure on January 4th, where the day begins with a thrilling encounter with the gentle giants of the sea. The Oslob Whale Shark Encounter is a morning affair, allowing you to swim alongside these majestic creatures in the warm, crystal-clear waters. The experience is both humbling and exhilarating, as you witness the sheer size and grace of these gentle giants.

After your marine adventure, head to the serene Tumalog Falls. This picturesque waterfall, with its curtain-like cascades, offers a tranquil setting for relaxation. The lush greenery surrounding the falls provides a perfect backdrop for stunning photos and a refreshing dip in the cool, natural pool. As the day progresses, the weather transitions to partly cloudy conditions, making it ideal for exploring the nearby Oslob Ruins. These Spanish-era structures offer a glimpse into the region’s rich history and are a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Dive into Adventure and Relaxation

On January 5th, the weather continues to offer a mix of conditions, with early morning rain giving way to partly cloudy skies. This is the perfect day to embark on the Whale Shark Encounter once again, as the experience is available from 4:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The thrill of swimming with these gentle giants is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed. As one reviewer noted on February 22, 2023:

“Good tour - Tour was good. Guide helpful and took care of all registration etc. Whale sharks were amazing to see. Huge fish!”

After your morning adventure, consider a visit to Sumilon Island, an optional add-on to your whale shark tour. This island paradise offers pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for a leisurely afternoon of sunbathing and snorkeling. The island’s natural beauty and tranquility make it an ideal spot for unwinding and embracing the New Year with a sense of peace and relaxation.
