The Perfect Blend of Adventure & Tranquility

Experience two of the Philippines’ most breathtaking natural wonders in a single day with Visayas Island Hoppers’ exclusive Oslob Whale Sharks & Sibulan Twin Lakes Tour. This unique journey takes you from Dumaguete City or Dauin to the shores of Oslob, Cebu, where you’ll swim alongside majestic whale sharks before retreating to the serene mountain lakes of Sibulan, Negros Oriental.

Morning: Swim with Oslob’s Gentle Giants

Your adventure begins with an early morning hotel pick-up and a comfortable ride to Sibulan Port. From there, a quick ferry crossing brings you to Liloan Port in Cebu, followed by a scenic coastal drive to Oslob, the world-famous home of the whale sharks, or “butanding.”

Once in Oslob, you’ll receive a safety briefing and snorkeling instructions before heading into the water for a once-in-a-lifetime experience—swimming alongside these gentle giants. Despite their massive size (some reaching up to 40 feet in length), whale sharks are calm, filter-feeding creatures that pose no threat to humans. Accompanied by experienced guides, you’ll have the rare opportunity to observe them up close in their natural habitat, an experience that’s both humbling and exhilarating.

Afternoon: Exploring the Twin Lakes of Sibulan

After your unforgettable encounter with the whale sharks, it’s time to trade ocean waves for mountain tranquility. We return to Negros Oriental and head toward the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park, a stunning protected area featuring Lake Balinsasayao and Lake Danao, two pristine crater lakes surrounded by dense rainforest.

Upon arrival, enjoy a short, scenic hike through lush trails, where you may spot rare bird species and local wildlife. Once at the lake, take in the breathtaking view of the tranquil waters set against a backdrop of towering mountains and untouched forests.

• Kayak or Paddleboard: Glide across the serene waters and take in the scenery.
• Hike the Trails: Explore forested paths for panoramic views of the lakes.
• Relax by the Water: Enjoy the peace and quiet of this unspoiled paradise.

These twin lakes, formed from ancient volcanic activity, provide a stark contrast to the morning’s excitement in Oslob—offering a perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
