What to Expect

Travel to Oslob where you'll get up close to the friendly whale sharks on your trip to Cebu. This slow-moving filter-feeding carpet shark is one of the largest known fish species - and a true sight to behold. On the trip, get to snorkel and swim with the whale sharks.

To begin your adventure, wake up bright and where you will be picked up in your hotel lobby between 2:00-3:00 AM. Take a scenic drive along the Southern Cebu coastline. Once you arrive in Oslob, get your snorkeling gear and hop in the water for your whale shark encounter.

After a briefing regarding what to look for and basic safety rules, enjoy your time in the beautiful ocean filled with amazing sea creatures. Take your time to get used to the water and snorkeling gears and have a truly unique experience of making friends with Oslob's famous whale sharks.

After your Whale Shark experience, explore Tumalog Falls - a hidden gem featuring multiple tiers of cascades and natural pools. Dive into the cool, crystal-clear waters, relax under the refreshing falls, or trek around to discover the different levels of this enchanting waterfall.

Finally, head to Moalboal for an underwater spectacle with the famous sardine run, where millions of sardines move in mesmerizing formations, and snorkel with the vibrant marine life, including sea turtles, in the pristine waters. This tour promises a perfect blend of thrill, nature, and relaxation.

Cebu’s Three Best Hidden Gems!

You haven't truly seen the Philippines until you’ve witnessed the scale of the whale sharks, the 'curtain' flow of Tumalog, and the shimmering magic of the Moalboal sardine run

Epic Underwater Action and Waterfall Bliss!

My heart was racing while swimming with the whale sharks and diving into the massive sardine clouds, but the serene atmosphere of Tumalog Falls was the perfect way to balance out the excitement. Kudos to mcrich team....

Once-in-a-Lifetime

Floating alongside the majestic Oslob whale sharks, feeling the cool mist of Tumalog Falls, and being surrounded by millions of sardines in Moalboal was a truly spiritual connection with the ocean. I highly recommen Mcrich for the amazing experience!

Wonderful experience!

I had a wonderful tour with Mcrich Travel. I had another company let me down at the last minute so I had to quickly organise something the night before. I contacted on WhatsApp and was responded to immediately with the tour options. The tour itself is well organised and ran smoothly. What I was extremely appreciative of though is that I was stupid enough to leave my GoPro in the car when leaving. Mcrich organised for this to be delivered to my hotel the following day (new year’s eve I might add) at no cost even though I was happy to pay. Thank you to Larry for this. This really showed extremely high level customer service. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!
