Of the things we did during our Cebu trip, this is the destination I'm extremely passionate to talk about. Swimming with the Whale Sharks has been on my imaginary bucket list for a while. My first option was Donsol, since I first heard about it through my instructor in college; who happens to have a family-owned resort in Sorsogon. In 2009, we were already planning a trip to Donsol; but unfortunately, my instructor died a few years after due to an accident. And my plans to visit the place sort of went with him since he was the one spearheading our visit. 

Fast-forward to 2013, my boss at work tried Whale Shark watching in Oslob; and that reminded me of this item on my bucket list. Honestly, I don't want to call it a bucket list because it's NOT that. But for the sake of this blog, let's refer to it in that manner. When the boyfriend and I got together, this was one of the places we wanted to visit first. While doing my research, I found out that a lot of people are against this activity in Oslob due to several reasons; which we'll talk about further. Despite the articles online, of course a part of me still wanted to try it out and see for myself if these allegations are true. Let's find out more about these gentle giants, or as the locals call them, Tuki. 

HOW TO GET THERE

For complete instructions on how to get to Oslob from Cebu City, I've detailed the instructions on this post. Once you get there, you will see which resorts offer the activity. Most of them have the same rates and packages. Just like my previous note, 'most' resorts offer this activity so make sure you don't settle for the first one you see.
