Oslob Island (Removed From Bucklist)
Why We Choose Not to Swim With the Whale Shark in Cebu
WHAT WE ORIGINALLY WROTE BEFORE OUR RESEARCH – Oslob is a beautiful island off the coast of Cebu, but its main tourist attraction lies beneath the water’s surface. Oslob offers something really unique and special….swimming with whale sharks! This giant animal is technically a shark, but don’t worry, they are known as the “gentle giants” of the sea. Swimming with these majestic animals will give you a whole new respect for the ocean.

Mayon Volcano is well known partly because of its perfect cone shape. It’s also one of the Philippines most active volcanos and erupts frequently. True adventurers can take their chances and scale the ascent, otherwise it’s a beauty to behold at a distance.
