It draws tourists from all around the world just to experience the most unforgettable 30 minutes of their lives. It is a unique wildlife interaction experience that will surely be one of your best adventure memories. 

Another interesting destination in Cebu is the million sardines right off the coast of Moalboal. You won’t want to miss the unique experience of swimming with this huge school of fish. Visitors can witness this spectacle all year round because the Moalboal Sardine Run is a year round event that occurs in the Panagsama beach area.

    The combo tour of Oslob Whale shark and Moalboal sardines was a great experience. It provided the opportunity to interact with both marine life and nature. I really enjoyed the boat trip to check out the whale sharks and sardines up close. The trip to Moalboal was also beautiful and the lunch in the beach and massage after the tour was such a wonderful thing. Definitely a must try when you’re in Cebu.
