Pickup starts around 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, depending on your hotel location to reach Oslob before crowds, beginning your day with a scenic 120 km drive south to Oslob. The journey takes about 3 hours, including a short stop for coffee and restroom break. Upon arrival in Oslob, you'll receive a quick safety orientation before boarding a paddle boat for your once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the gentle giants of the sea, the whale sharks. This awe-inspiring experience lasts around 30 to 45 minutes, giving you time to swim alongside these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. You may enjoy breakfast at your own expense after the whale shark activity in Oslob. This stop is optional, but highly recommended to help you refuel before continuing the adventure to Inambakan Falls. Several local eateries are available near the whale shark briefing area, offering a variety of light meals, rice dishes, and refreshments.
After the marine adventure, the tour continues inland to Inambakan Falls in Ginatilan, about an hour’s drive away. Here, you’ll spend 1.5 to 2 hours immersed in nature. The Inambakan Falls visit is focused on photo opportunities and relaxing swims in the turquoise basin at the foot of the main cascade. This is not an adventure trek or full waterfall exploration guests will remain at the base level of the falls to enjoy its scenic beauty, take photos, and swim in the refreshing waters. Trekking to the upper tiers or cliff-jumping is not included in this tour. Note: Trekking to the upper tiers of Inambakan Falls is optional and at your own expense. If you wish to explore beyond the main falls, you may hire a local guide on-site for a minimal fee. This allows you to visit the hidden upper levels, which feature smaller cascades and natural pools. Please note that this optional activity involves uneven terrain and is best suited for guests comfortable with light hiking.
After enjoying the falls, you may stop for lunch on the way back to your hotel (optional and at your expense). This tour combines guided encounters with both marine and natural wonders, making it a perfect day of thrill and relaxation in South Cebu.
