Whale Shark "Butanding" Watching !

Last year I posted pictures of my friends tripping at Oslob Cebu, venturing the most popular “Butanding” Whale Shark Watching. I waited a year to experience it myself with my family. It was a blast and it was the first time I submerged into the waters with fishes bigger than I am. A lot of tourists from different places were there to witness the amazing Butandings. It was a splendid experience for first timers like me !

Getting there is not that hard at all. It is just a matter of a bus ride from South Bus Terminal, take the safest Bus Liner (Ceres Bus) heading to Bato, Oslob and note the barker and they’ll drop you right where you are headed.


For those who just want to do Whale Watching, it will cost you only 100 php. For those who want to go snorkeling, the price is only 300 php. Oxygen tank for divers are also available at 1,500php. Cottages are rented roughly from 300-500php. Bringing of foods and drinks are allowed. 


So I’m going to show you some pics we took during our trip! Enjoy!



the view of the beach! 

baby butanding!

The Whale Shark "Butanding" Experience at Oslob Cebu Philippines




This is a sample pic of my good friends having their great time at Oslob while I was left at the hospital working  >,< I was made to sacrifice a whole day of fun and adventure! It was my fault anyway forgetting to request for an off from work.  So technically I was left behind. 


Threy took a road trip from Naga to Oslob with the aid of Charlene's guy friends. Guided with the signage Whale Shark Watching , "The Ultimate Experience with the Gentle Giants," they arrived at the resort at Tan-awan , Oslob , Cebu. 


I just can't help but to be envy with how the sun rays strikes the blue waters giving it a crystal effect with the BUTANDINGS swimming on it.

As my friend told me they were given brief instructions before they submerge themselves into the waters. None of them knows how to swim so they took the liberty of gripping on each side of the boat. Life vests were provided for each person, so even if you don't know how to survive on the sea, it will keep you floating! 

Oh I'm dying to experience this......
