Description

Things to Do

  • Swim with the Whale Sharks in Oslob, the gentle giants of the sea
  • Sail to Sumilon Island for its crystal clear waters and pristine white sandbar
  • Experience the heart-pumping Canyoneering Adventure to Kawasan Falls in Badian
  • Hike, swim, water-slide, swing, and jump off cliffs and waterfalls ranging from 1 meter to 11 meters high
  • Swim into the turquoise clear water of Kawasan Falls in Badian, a multi-layered waterfalls emanating from Kabukalan Spring

What to Expect

Our driver will pick you up from your hotel early in the morning then take you to Oslob. Upon arrival at the briefing area, you are required to register and listen to the briefing. Once your “queue number” is called, you’ll be given your life vest and goggles. Then, ride a boat to the interaction area and swim with the whale sharks for 30 minutes. After that, you’ll be given time to eat breakfast at your preferred restaurant in the area. Then, we’ll take you to Sumilon Island by an outrigger boat. The sandbar changes shapes and shift locations around the island, depending on the season, and it appears during low tide. Next, you’ll travel to Badian for at least one and a half hours for your next activity.

Upon arrival at the canyoneering station, you’ll be provided with safety gears and tour guide before heading to the starting point. You may ride the optional 1 kilometer zipline to shorten the hike from the entrance to the jump off point for 10 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Hike, swim, slide, swing, and jump-off cliffs and waterfalls ranging from 1 meter to 11 meters high. Don’t worry, the required jump is only 1 meter high and the rest are optional. The tour culminates at Kawasan Falls, a multi-layered waterfalls emanating from Kabukalan Spring, famous for its turquoise clear waters.

At the end of the tour, you’ll be provided with a sumptuous meal before heading back to your hotel.
