Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of South Cebu with this premium day tour featuring three of the region’s most iconic attractions. Swim alongside the majestic whale sharks in Oslob, marvel at the breathtaking beauty of Tumalog Falls, and unwind on the powdery white sandbar of Sumilon Island. This all-inclusive experience promises a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and relaxation — ideal for couples, families, and small groups seeking a memorable Cebu getaway.
Start your day with an early morning hotel pick-up between 3:30 AM and 4:30 AM from your accommodation in Cebu City, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu City, Talisay City, or Moalboal. Ride in comfort aboard a private, air-conditioned vehicle with your personal driver-guide as you travel south through scenic coastal roads, witnessing the peaceful beauty of the province at dawn.
Upon arrival in Oslob around 6:00 AM, you'll proceed to the tourism center for registration and a short mandatory orientation. Local guides will provide safety instructions and brief you on proper interaction practices with the whale sharks, ensuring both guest safety and marine conservation.
At around 6:30 AM, board a paddle boat and head out to the whale shark interaction area just off the shore. Once in the water, you’ll have the chance to swim alongside these gentle giants, an awe-inspiring encounter with nature’s most majestic marine creatures. Snorkel gear and life vests are provided, and non-swimmers can opt to stay on the boat and watch from above. For those who want to capture the experience, GoPro rentals are available with an operator who will assist in taking underwater photos and videos (PHP 550).
After the whale shark activity, enjoy a quick breakfast stop at a nearby local eatery or café (own expense), before heading to your next adventure.
By 8:30 AM, you’ll take a short habal-habal (motorbike) ride up a mountain trail to reach Tumalog Falls, a stunning curtain-like waterfall tucked within a lush forest. A brief walk from the drop-off point leads you to this serene natural wonder, where you can enjoy the cool mist, swim in the shallow basin, or simply relax and take in the view. Please note: water flow may be low during the summer; if inaccessible, an alternative stop will be suggested.
At 10:00 AM, you’ll proceed to the nearby port for a 10–15 minute boat ride to the Sumilon Island Sandbar — one of the most picturesque sandbars in the Philippines. Spend time exploring the pristine white sands, swimming in crystal-clear turquoise waters, and taking beautiful photos with panoramic ocean backdrops. The sandbar's shape and size vary depending on the tide, making each visit unique.
After soaking in the beauty of Sumilon, return to the mainland and enjoy a lunch break — either at a local restaurant (buffet or set meal options available upon request) or with your own packed lunch. This part of the tour can be customized based on your preference.
Finally, at around 1:30 PM, begin your comfortable drive back to your hotel. Relax in the van as you reflect on the day’s unforgettable experiences. You’ll arrive at your accommodation by late afternoon (estimated between 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM), concluding your full-day southern Cebu adventure.
