    Masaya ang tour sa Oslob whale shark, Sumilon sandbar, at Osmeña peak sobraaa!! Nakakatuwa at nakakapagod ang akyat sa tuktok ng Osmeña peak pero worth it ang view kapag dating roon! Ang maganda pa ay maganda rin ang panahon. After namin mag-island hopping mula sa Oslob at mag swimming kasama ang whale sharks, naglakad kami sa white sand beach ng Sumilon na sobrang linaw
