Tumalog Falls Oslob Cebu .. one of the best falls I've ever seen.. ;D

             After the whale shark interaction we are now headed to the famous Tumalog falls. From the resort where we stayed, we rented a multicab (from the resort) to bring us to the falls. It cost us 140 pesos for each person and that includes the entrance fee already. It took us about 15 minutes to reach the top and  we have to ride another motorcycle going down to the falls, the price is 50 pesos for each person, that's going down and going up already.

            Seeing the falls was amazing, very beautiful indeed. I wasn't planning to take a dip but i just can't resist the beauty of this falls. Thanks to my motorcycle driver who also became my photographer.  He was kind enough to offer his help but i forgot to ask his name, too bad for me. 

            Indeed, Tumalog falls is the best falls I've ever seen so far. Didn't even regret coming here and I would definitely love to go back and enjoy this place again. After an hour of taking pictures and enjoying the view, we've decided to go back to the resort since we have to catch a bus ride going to Liloan port.

... my first whale shark interaction ! ... ;) Oslob Cebu

                 After we visited Oslob town proper,  we headed to Aarons Beach resort located at Brgy. Tan-awan, Oslob where we will be spending the night. From Oslob town proper, you can either ride a bus or tricycle but bus is cheaper, i guess it will only cost you around 30-50 pesos but for tricycle it will cost 300 pesos for the entire trip. Upon arriving at the resort , we were welcome by the very friendly owner and assisted us to our room. The room is very comfortable, its air-conditioned, the restroom is clean and the bed, linen and pillows smells good and that's what i like most.  The room costs 1500.00 pesos and for me its worth it. The resort is located in front of the beach and they served food for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even snacks and the price is very affordable especially if you are group of 3-4 people. The resort has their own souvenir shop and diving area (for those who want to dive) and most especially they offer the whale shark  interaction.

              The next day, we woke up early, since the first whale shark interaction starts at 6:00 am. We went to the registration area, paid the fee of 500.00 pesos for each person and we rented underwater camera to capture our underwater moments for 550.00 pesos, and that includes a CD of all our pictures. After we registered our names, we were accompanied by 2 fisherman to our boat and gave us our life jacket and snorkeling gear. The boat could accommodate 2-4 person, I guess. Then we transferred from the resort to the nearby resort ( about 5 minute boat ride) for a short briefing of the do's and don'ts with the whale shark. After the briefing we went directly to the whale shark area.

             The interaction lasted for 30 minutes and that's one of the best 30 minutes of my life. Seeing whale shark for the first time, and having the chance to have my picture taken with the giants of the sea is amazing. A totally different experienced for me and my mom and we would love to do it all over again. 

     Whale shark interaction in Oslob is a must see in Southern Cebu. You shouldn't miss this one. ;D

Oslob Cebu old Church and Cuartel ruins.. :)

               We wanted to visit Oslob ,Cebu mainly because of 3 reasons. First, because of there old Church and Cuartel ruins, second, because of their famous Tumalog Falls (see my next blog for more info) and lastly, the famous whale shark interaction (see may next blog for my next info).   We took an airplane bound for Cebu City and took a 4 hour bus drive to southern part of Cebu which is Oslob (fare is less than 200 pesos). We went down at the Oslob town market and took a tricycle for 5-10 minute ride to there beautiful old Church and Cuartel ruins.  The church and the ruins are facing the sea which made it more beautiful. The fare for the tricycle is 10 pesos per head but if you want to occupy the entire tricycle you have to pay 40 pesos going there.  Touring this place will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour and you can  take a lot pictures with that short period of time. So, if you're planning to visit Oslob, don't forget to include this place...  ;)
