Frequently Asked Questions
Is swimming with whale sharks in Oslob ethical?
It's a contested practice — feeding wild whale sharks alters their natural migratory behaviour, and travellers concerned about this should research operator practices carefully.
What is canyoneering at Kawasan Falls?
Canyoneering involves cliff jumping, swimming, and rappelling down a river canyon that ends at the multi-tiered Kawasan Falls, typically a half-day guided activity.
How far is Oslob from Cebu City?
Oslob is roughly 3-4 hours south of Cebu City by road, making it a long day trip or better suited to an overnight stay.
