RE: Exploring Southern Leyte: Chasing Whale Sharks and Stories

in #travel7 years ago

Wow I wish I could go there soonest. But there is another place here in the Philippines here in Cebu south at OSLOB you can explore sight seeing where big whales roaming around in the sea of Oslob. People called them BUTANGDING

Sort:  

Yes I am from Cebu and I have tried Oslob the experience in Pintuyan truly is different as the whale sharks are able to roam free. They are not fed uyap. Baited feeding like the practice in Oslob is highly discouraged among the diving community. It is unhealthy for the whale sharks and greatly disrupts their migration patterns. In oslob the whale sharks are fed as if they are zoo animals staying in the area way longer than the usual migration pattern.

We must be responsible tourists as well and respect the animal. Oslob has made the whale sharks a commodity which I feel strongly against.
