When is the best time to go to Oslob?
Oslob, one of the top tourist spots in Visayas, is ideal to visit all year round. It is highly recommended to go on an Oslob day tour during the dry and summer seasons, particularly from March to June, because there are fewer chances of rainfall.
You can also visit during Cebu whale shark season. The whale shark season in Cebu, including the town of Oslob, runs throughout the year, but the best time to see these gentle giants is usually from November to May. During this period, the sea is typically calmer, and the visibility is better, which makes it easier to spot and swim with the whale sharks. However, it's worth noting that whale sharks are wild animals, and their presence cannot be guaranteed. For more information on this activity, check out our where to swim with whale sharks guide.
