WHALESHARK WATCHING
The Ultimate Experience With The GENTLE GIANTS
Tan-awan, Oslob, Cebu

Sweethearts Cha-Ris with the friendly butanding

Oslob boatmen regularly feed the young gentle giants. This is the reason why they keep on coming back to the area and why they're not afraid of people. 

Alvin Choy - Synchronized swimming with the whaleshark

We were this close! It was a completely different experience from our Donsol WhaleShark Watching adventure trip.

They swim too close to us, literally swimming side by side. We have to be always aware to keep our distance. It was indeed an overwhelming experience :D

After the whaleshark encounter, we enjoyed the short trek to Tumalog Falls

Tumalog Falls

LUNCHTIME at George and Jimmy's Resort. They say that they're famous for their lechon manok. We tried it but it was lacking in flavor. We liked their liempo more :)

From Tan-awan, we had to take a 20 minute boat ride to reach Sumilon Island

...approaching Sumilon Island...

Powdery fine sand :)

We loved the pristine beach of Sumilon Island.
When in Oslob, you should NOT miss this.

"It's MORE FUN in the Philippines!"

Before leaving Cebu, we had to try the specialty Zubuchon. We did but we weren't impressed so we went to The Original AA BBQ instead and my goodness, we highly recommend it!!! (TIP: order the spicy longganisa and their juice in a pitcher!!!) *Burp*

Until then, Cebu :)
