Overview

One of the highlights of Cebu is arguably snorkeling with whale sharks in Oslob. Furthermore, a lot has changed since the site was launched a few years ago. People used to touch whale sharks, to hug them, even to ride them, taking selfies with them. Unquestionably one of the most well-liked and contentious tourist attractions in the world is whale shark viewing in Oslob. Travelers swarm the coastlines of Oslob, drawn by this amazing experience, to meet these gentle giants.

Another tourist attraction on the other side, usually takes 1 hour and 30 mins from Oslob Whale Shark watching is the Badian Canyoneering. Badian Canyoneering is an outdoor recreational activity that primarily involves hiking, walking, rappelling, jumping, swimming, and rock climbing through canyons in Cebu. Before heading home you will pass by a stunning three-tiered waterfall, known for its turquoise-blue water, lush green surroundings, and cool ambiance.

    Oslob + Badian My Oslob Whale Shark and Badian Canyoneering tour was suuuuperrr great! The tour was well organized and the tour guides were great. I really liked seeing the whale sharks up close and the scenery was beautiful. The canyoneerring activities were also a lot of fun. I’ll definitely be coming back because it was easy to book the tour through Island Diaries Travel and Tours and the tour guides were so kind. It’s a trip I won’t forget

    Canyoneering in Badian

    The most memorable tour so far, canyoneering in Badian was so fun for me and my friends. I had fun with all the adrenaline activities we did. Although we got some bruises from that activity, I am so happy with the experience our guidesafter that 4 hours of rush directly helped my friends, checked if we were okay, and bandaged us with their kits. So far, this was the most 10/10 experience can’t wait to do it again with my boyfriend!
