Top Philippines Whale Watching

Departures from Cebu City or Mactan are normally between 3 am and 4 am. The journey covers approximately 120 km and takes around 3 hours. Upon arrival in Oslob, we'll begin our whale shark watching activity, where guests will have a chance to snorkel and swim with these gentle giants (around 30–45 minutes). Afterward, guests may enjoy breakfast at their own expense — silog meals for smaller groups, or a boodle fight-style meal for groups of 5 or more — before heading to Badian for canyoneering. We’ll proceed to the Kawasan Falls canyoneering site, where we’ll trek, slide, and cliff-jump through turquoise river pools for approximately 2 to 3 hours. At the starting point, guests may choose to add an optional 850-meter zipline (additional fee), before beginning the descent to the waterfalls. At the end of the trail, a local lunch will be waiting for us at the base camp. Once everyone is ready, we’ll begin our drive back to Cebu City or Mactan, with an expected arrival around 7 pm.

With the help of life jackets and guides, many can safely interact with the whale sharks. Kawasan Canyoneering: Jumping from varying heights, swimming through natural pools, and sliding down natural rock formations makes this a heart-pounding adventure for thrill-seekers. The canyons, turquoise waters, and rich flora surrounding the area make the journey visually spectacular. The canyoneering experience culminates at the stunning Kawasan Falls, a multi-layered waterfall known for its azure waters. It's a great place to relax after the adrenaline-filled adventure.
