Oslob Whale Sharks (dawn)

Approx. 9 km up the coast · ~15 minHalf-morning

Swim alongside wild whale sharks in Tan-awan, Oslob — the resort's signature morning, about fifteen minutes up the coast. We send you at first light (the interaction runs roughly 6–11 AM) for calmer water and the shortest queue. Snorkellers are welcome, and intro / discovery scuba can be arranged for non-divers and beginners who'd like to go below the surface.
