Swimming with Giant Whales in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines

WHERE  IN THE WORLD SHOULD YOU BE NEXT SUMMER? 


And why should you start booking now?

Whale shark watching in Tan-awan, Oslob, Cebu has become one of world's best nature encounters. It's true of its name since Tan-awan  roots from the word "Tan-aw" meaning to watch or to look. 



At the present, there are resorts and touring websites you can avail services from to make sure you get the best excursion. Wee hours is the operative word of some sorts for this adventure so you'd likely not want to just go eyeball-ing these acquiescent sea giants on your first date. You'd also want to take the privilege to go swimming with them. Though the local government implements rules to protect and conserve them and there are few etiquette which you have to practice once there. 

Tukis or Butanding, as the natives call it, are more visible in the shores when the temperature is up and the water is clear. You better book your flights before tourists flock during Philippine summer on the second quarter of next year (April- June). 

Take a look at Matt-Tinik and Matt-Takaw Adventures to get a picture of how you'd likely want to arrange your itinerary. 

Gentle giants has probably been banned in cyber space for reason of overuse but you can swear by the remote chances of you becoming the human version of Marlin and Dory. As the phrase suggest, they are, gentle giants.
