The opportunity to swim alongside these gentle creatures is a privilege, a chance to connect with the natural world in a way that few experiences can offer.
The reviews speak for themselves:
“The Hits - Whalesharks and Sardine Run - Abam, Robbie (Oslob) and Ray (Moalboal) were the perfect guides in our tour. Abam was very polite and a very safe driver. His car was very comfortable for 2 to 5. Robbie took us on the whaleshark tour and to Tumalog Fall. Our wait didn’t take too long, probably a little over 3h during which we went to the Fall. Came back, and we’re off to see the whalesharks in 30mins. Amazing experience. At Moalboal, we were asked if we’d like to do the intro dive as we have no PADI licence. It was the best decision made in my life. Don’t just snorkel. Take the diving package with GoPro. Vids were stunning.” (Reviewed at: 2025-02-01)
