Andrie SP I would suggest you go directly to Cebu instead of coming from Alona Beach in Bohol, which is an island fronting Cebu. Oslob is a province in Cebu and you can just take a bus going to the south and tell the driver to drop your group in Oslob where whaleshark (mostly known in Cebu as BUTANDING) watching is located. This system, you group will not be charged higher fee compared to coming from any resorts in Bohol. I am a Cebuano residing now in Manila and I just want you to have an enjoyable experience w/o that extra cost people charge to foreigners.
Roland Pañares It is a bit more costly using the Bohol route especially that it's the most unheard of. Surge of tourists will soon bring these prices down. This route cuts your travel time tremendously, making you max out your day to the fullest. It's a good option if money is not an issue. And if well, obviously, you're coming from Bohol.
Brilliant video! 👌 Cannot wait to do this this year.. When did you go? I read online that whale sharks only start showing at certain months and we are going to Oslob in Oct..
amazing video!!=) great lightning,very huge whalesharks..it's perfect! my partner and i are planning to go to oslob next month and we kinda dont know the place more than what we've seen in internet specially youtube.i would like to ask if theres any helpful tips you can share about whaleshark encounter like which area is better to go,because most of the videos i've seen are not as big whalesharks as in your video,very crowded and water was very blurry.your video is very clear and looks like theres not much people.we would like to have an amazing and unforgettable experience and a good video as a remembrance.hope you could help us!! thank you.
Hi Adrie, yes it was a really great experience to meet these whalesharks and swim with them. We have been on holiday on Bohol at Alona Beach and made this trip starting from there. It tooks us about 2.5 hours by boat to get there. The place is perfect, because there huge whalesharks and you really can be sure to see them. I think it´s one of the best places on the Philippines for stuff like this. Even when you spend your time on Cebu it is easy to get there. Enjoy it!!
it s amazing video sorry brather i mean how to get oslob from alona bech mean how long and how cost and the boat its disponible thank you too much its nice video
Wow, they sure are beautiful creatures, gentle. God blessed the Philippines with beautiful creatures, minerals resources. Biblical Ophir is located in the Philippines, Sheba, Tarshish, havilah they're brothers
you can take a bus from south bus terminal.. if you will stay in a hotel at the city you can rent a van it would be more exciting if you bring a lot of companion because it would be more cheaper and there are also packages not only in oslob but you can also experience canyoneering, kawasan falls, aguinid falls as will... if you need help just try to contact me sir so we could arrange some packages tour for you here in Cebu...thank you...just be aware of the person that would take advantage specially if you are a first timer...
these sharks are free. sometimes they are not around. they just come back maybe to see people to feed them like seals, dolphins, birds, etc. instead of being poach, they're better alive.
Hello! I am a researcher for the National Museum of the Philippines. I came across this video that might be used in the video we are creating. Can you grant us permission to use part of the video for the education of museum's audience mainly children?
Hi Sharon, I would be really happy, to give you the permission to use my footage for that reason. Please let me have a copy of what you create from it.
Hi Sharon, my wife Katja and I are using this mail-account together. The Whaleshark-Movie was made by us both. Will you use the whole Video or only parts of it? I am just curious and look Forward to see what you are going to do with it. And please don`t be afraid, there will be no charges or anything like that. We just would be happy if you mention our names, as we are great fans of the Phillippines ;-)
Thank you so much for the help. We'll just be using some parts of it. As our way of appreciation, we're going to include your name in the plaque of generous contributors in the museum
I am sorry to say that, but it's a horribe and artificial spectacle, that should be ABSOLUTELY forbidden. Fedding whale sharks by humans does nothing good to these fantastic animals, but harm their health. In the last years, whale sharks in Oslob are not reproducing, because their nutrition, based on human feeding, is not appropiate. Also, staying so many hours at surface is causing them terrible sunburns, that after cause them terrible infections. In addition, on this video you can see several whale sharks with it dorsal fin with cuts and damaged, because of their proximity of propelllers.... PLEASE! If you love marine life, do not contribute to this artificial and harmful spectacles, that are damaging whale sharks life. It's a matter of sensitivity with marine life and awareness with this beautiful animals. If not, maybe our children will never have the opportunity of seeing whale sharks any more....
Elena Sinmás I call B.S on your theory simply because A: the Whale sharks are happy, and species breed when happy, and B: You can see the offspring nursing on them in half these videos!
Elena Sinmás I agree with this, and I was very upset when I saw this with my own eyes... I have a video about this on my channel if you are interested.
Vicky Federigan believe what you want, many fish have been spotted with lacerations, sun burnt from being on the surface all the time, there migratory fish not supposed to stay in the same space for months caught in a tourist trap.. ignorance is bliss..
You think this is scary? Try looking at Basking Sharks.Both Whale Sharks and Basking Sharks are completely harmless to humans as they eat only smaller preys like Planktons and Small fishes.Although Baskings look scarier when they open their mouths.The only thing these big fishes harms you is that they can slap you with their tails accidentally if you swim too close to them and you are behind of them.
To be honest watching the whale sharks is good, but the tour and these guys driving the boat is upsetting. Feeding a wildlife animal does not do any good. The second upsetting thing is that they don't allow you to touch it which we understood but they hit the whale sharks with their boat! It's upsetting to see a gorgeous gigantic animal with scars and being endangered by these guys.
Nothing amazing about this...a circus of the very worst kind. If you are considering going please do some research and find out why you should not support this.
they are not in a cage... they are free to go anywhere that is why there are times that nobody showed up and there are times also that more than 10 showed up... the whale just come back there because they are feed by the government...
make your research. they're free no cages they just come back in the morning sometimes they're not around. better than being poach, or eaten by other predators, like people, orcas, etc.
