Swimming with the gentle giants in Oslob was an unforgettable experience! Seeing the whale sharks up close felt surreal and humbling. It’s something I used to only see in documentaries, and being there in real life made me appreciate nature even more. Make sure to follow the rules and respect the animals! A once-in-a-lifetime adventure that’s worth the early morning wake-up!

We have been there for the past 2 years. Beautiful Island. We saw good corals and turtles under the ocean. The boat ride is also stunning. I just feel that the amount of people visiting is becoming more every year.

This is a popular beach for tourists, but I found that it wasn't the most ideal beach for swimming as there were lots of boats around. The strip is very lively though, especially at night and has lots of great options for bars and restaurants. Good spot to visit for sunset and live music. Reasons to Recommend:sunset and nightlife
