2. Oslob Whale Sharks. On the other side of the island is where you can experience swimming with the Oslob Whale Sharks, locally known as the “Tuki”.

Few kilometers away from the whale shark attraction is the Tumalog Falls. It is also situated in the municipality of Oslob. Locals call this body of water, the “Toslob Falls” or “Mag-ambak Falls”.
