Snorkeling with Whale Sharks for a lifetime memory! The encounter rate is 99%! Snorkeling with whale sharks in the wild is rare in the world, a precious activity that you must experience in Cebu.

Snorkel masks and life jackets are included, so anyone can enjoy!

4Sumilon Island
One of the clearest islands in the Philippines. The contrast between the bright blue sea and white sandy beaches attracts many troutists. The sea of Sumilon is like a heavenly beauty, with colorful fish and shining coral reefs. The mysterious white sandbar, which appears only at low tide, depending on the weather, time of year and time of day, is one of the highlights of Sumilon Island. Although Sumilon is a desert island, its abundance of trees makes this place a resort island. The island is just 15 minutes away from Oslob by a traditional small boat called bunker boat.
