Oslob Whale Sharks

Oslob is one of the rare places in the world where Whale Sharks can be seen year round. 

We offer the trip to see the Oslob Whale Sharks from the resort starting at 4AM and returning to the resort by 11AM. The journey down to Oslob takes less than 2 hours from the resort, in a luxury air conditioned vehicle. We provide tea, coffee and sandwiches to ease the early morning start!

Whale Sharks have naturally been visiting Oslob for many years and quickly the opportunity to swim with them got out and the area gained a reputation worldwide. These creatures are extremely docile and 100% safe to swim with, the local government has stepped in to regulate the activity and ensure these animals are protected and monitored.

It is no secret that these Whale Sharks are being fed a diet of shrimp and krill by the locals to ensure their year round presence. The policy has split public opinion, with some reports indicating the feeding activity may have influence the animals’ behavior. But whether or not you agree with the feeding policy of these gentle giants, it is difficult to turn down what is an opportunity to swim with up to 15 Whale Sharks at the same time in shallow coastal waters!
