Just Go To Bohol And See The Whale Shark!
Many people thought Oslob in Cebu is the only place to see the whale shark but it takes so long time to travel there. Instead, many people may decide to go to Bohol Island, which is just two hours away from Cebu by sea.
We stayed in the Bellevue Resort and it’s quiet and beautiful!! Then we booked a local tour to go to Lila for whale shark watching, from our hotel to Lila, it takes just 1 hour and luckily we saw more than 8 whale sharks thanks to the good weather!!
Save your time to see whale shark in Bohol Island instead#beachlife #cebu #whale #philippines 🤩
Whale Watching In Summer
Ever thought of Whale Watching while in the United States? You can if you are in Monterry California where whales can be seen thru out the entire year.
There are packages offered by several Whale Watching company, where we chose Chris Whale Watching due to its really affordable and competitive rates, where they will bring you out to sea for a 4hour ride for approx 60USD per person. And for those who have sea sickness, I do recommend not to go as the waters can get quite choppy especially when the boat stops while waiting for the whales to surface and dive back down. Honestly, we waited for quite abit to see the tail end of these humpback whales.
If you are lucky, you can see a whole lot of them as mentioned by the tour guide himself, but this your is mainly also for educational purposes, knowing about the whales environment and how people are hunting whales which are prohibited.
