Oslob Whale Shark Tours, Did You Know They Were All the Same?

When whale shark tours first launched, Oslob’s remoteness and low profile
meant there weren’t many options.

But now, there are numerous companies operating various whale shark tours.

So what I'm going to introduce from now on is,

This is a story about what makes the 'Original Oslob Whale Shark Tour' run by
Travel Forest different.

If you are considering a whale shark tour, be sure to check out these
checkpoints below.

Your trip can be more comfortable and satisfying.

Travel Forest Whale Shark Comparison Poiont

① Depart from the airport or hotel at dawn

Travel Forest's whale shark tour is an authentic dawn tour that has been in
operation for a long time.

Departs early in the morning between 02:30 and 03:30.

Pick-up will be done in the following order: Airport → Mactan hotels → Cebu
City hotels. Pick-up times are as follows by region:

Airport and Mactan area hotels: 02:30~03:00

Cebu City Hotels: 03:00~03:30

The exact pickup time will be notified by the local manager via KakaoTalk the
day before the tour.

It is conveniently available for those arriving at the airport early in the
morning, as well as for those staying at hotels in Cebu City or Mactan.

Airport pickup customers can also load their luggage onto the vehicle, so they
can participate in the tour without worry.

② The reason for the fast pickup time

As word of mouth spread about the whale shark tour, many tourists began to
visit.

This tour has become so popular that they are now considering limiting the
number of people allowed to enter per day.

As the number of tourists increased, locals began to sprinkle shrimp paste to
attract whale sharks.

As time passed, an unpleasant odor began to emanate from the sea.

Travel Forest departs early in the morning so that you can meet whale sharks
in a more comfortable environment.

The tour runs during the early morning hours when whale sharks are actively
feeding.

Experience the most vivid whale shark encounter in the clearest and cleanest
sea.

③ The moving vehicles are different.

Some local companies or low-cost travel agencies recruit large numbers of
people at low prices.

There are many cases where you have to ride on a crowded Bongo bus for an
uncomfortable 3 to 4 hours one way or 6 to 8 hours round trip.

Especially since the tour departs early in the morning, the comfort of the
vehicle is very important.

Travel Forest promises more comfortable travel by assigning a dedicated
vehicle according to the number of customers.

2~3 people: Private car 4 people: 7-seater van 5 or more people: 12-seater
vehicle

※ Vehicles may be assigned flexibly depending on the number of people and
local conditions.

When it comes to whale shark tours that require long-distance travel, consider
not just the price but also the ‘quality’ of the travel.

④ Go to a private resort, not the Oslob center.

Most Oslob whale shark tours go straight to the public whale shark center to
save money, but

This is a popular tourist destination, but the downside is that there are long
waiting times and not enough space to rest.

Travel Forest will guide you to a small resort (guesthouse level) near Oslob
Center so that you can prepare for your tour in a more comfortable
environment.

Here, a dedicated Travel Forest helper will handle all registration and
application procedures on your behalf.

You can relax in a comfortable space and wait for your turn.

Start your leisurely whale shark tour in a comfortable waiting area.

⑤ Shower facilities / GoPro rental / Breakfast provided

Travel Forest has prepared basic amenities required for whale shark tours
within a guesthouse (resort) near Oslob.

Please note that the local guesthouse facilities are not at the level of a
luxury resort and that water use is restricted in areas where environmental
protection is important.

Shower facilities: Better than the Oslob center, you can wash off the seawater
with pre-collected water.

GoPro Rental: Available for rental on site, and footage can be downloaded to
your phone or USB.

Simple breakfast: Fresh mango (free) served with simple meal

Drinks available for order: Coffee, juice, etc. Additional orders can be made
on site. Conveniently take care of all your needs before and after the tour in
one place.

We have prepared this so that you can enjoy the excitement of the sea more
comfortably.

⑥ A slightly free small group tour

Travel Forest's whale shark tour is a small-group, private tour.

So, it is a tour that does not have a rigid schedule and allows for some
freedom.

If you and your group agree on something, you can coordinate simple
itineraries, such as taking photos along the way or visiting a local market.

A slightly more leisurely and flexible trip, this is Travel Forest’s Oslob
Whale Shark Tour.
