9.BEST OF CEBU:Oslob Whaleshark Encounter w Sandbar & Tumalog Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 19 reviews · from $109

“Seemed like a tour we could’ve done on our own because we had our own car to drive around. If you’re coming from Cebu and not renting a car this tour would be perfect. But the driver basically just took us to each location (Oslob whale sharks, Tumalog Falls, Sumilon Sandbar with boat transport) and admission was included in the price of this tour. Nice experience since we could just relax in the car ride but definitely could’ve saved some money if we went to each place in our own car.”
