When we visited Maribago Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort, since we were already in Oslob, we decided to watch the Whale Sharks. Or, as we call it in our dialect, "Butanding".
Several resorts in Oslob offer whale watching as one of their perks. However, take note that whale watching is controlled by Oslob government and the resorts themselves are not allowed to ferry you to the spot where the whale sharks are. What they do is they drop you off to the public whale share area and you will need to register and pay there. I would recommend, if you're not staying in any of those resorts, that you just go directly to the public whale watching.
How much? No dipping in water: Php300 Dip/swim: Php500
Take note, though, that although if you pay to swim in the water with the whale sharks, you need to allow 4 meters of space between you and the whale shark. This means, you are not allowed to touch them.
Don'ts
- Don't put on sun block
- Don't use your camera's flash
- Do not touch the whale sharks
