Whale Shark Watching in Oslob... Is it WORTH IT? 🇵🇭

[@javeregaspi8769]

its a fresh air when a content creator are not sugar coating everything it sees in the philippines. Filipinos and its government are not perfect but the country itself is beautiful.

[@nocheckinbags]

The country is truly beautiful, the people are so kind, but yes not everything is perfect. We simply want to show the reality.

I live in Cebu but have only been to see the whale shark once. Too many people and it may be affordable for tourists but 1,750 is expensive for us locals. I saw some opinions on the internet about the feeding of the whale sharks as a bad thing but in my opinion it's better than watching animals in the zoo, since these whale sharks are free to go whenever they like, and somehow they have a symbiotic relationship with the community. I'm sure the whale shark experience in the wild would be better in some ways but I doubt it would be as less costly, as close up and assured as what we have in Oslob. A part of me hoped that more people would go for those wild whale shark tours so I could enjoy more of our Oslob whale shark experience as a local. 😅

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes definitely mixed opinions on this topic. I understand the local people have to make money and this is there business and livelihood, and I do support it. But when you see a whale shark organically/randomly it is a better feeling. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed it and I am happy to support such things. Way better than going to a zoo where animals are kept in captivity

[@VienJericohManlangitManl-lb8db]

Woww.... Lot of tourist, i hope i'll be there soon i love whale shark

[@alenavlcek9898]

Hi Robert and Natalie, thank you for an other great video, with beautiful views of sunrise , beautiful nature, amazing blue waters and all the sea creatures, but as your Mother I am always so scared when you do this, you know how I feel! Stay safe, healthy and happy, love you both ALWAYS!!! ❤❤❤

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes of course, I understand

[@monayers3913]

We went to Oslob in 2012 to swim with the whale sharks. The number of people were maybe around 60 on the morning we were there. A lot has changed since then.

[@nocheckinbags]

Yes, very commercialized now. I do understand, everyone has to eat. But I'm sure there are big changes

[@bighand1530]

I have yet to go there. 12 years ago.

[@agentbond2004]

Way too early, yet worth the wait! Seems like their getting fewer just two whalesharks compared to way back years ago. Great underwater shots and awesome free diving!👌🇵🇭🇨🇦

[@nocheckinbags]

Haha yes too early 😅 & thank you!! 😊

[@RampartPh]

"how do you like your 1st sunrise?" that's what every vampire asks

[@nocheckinbags]

🤣🤣🤣

[@piacash5216]

How many Vampires Did u met So Far ????😅

[@Arnel_A67]

Absolutely great experience ❤

[@nocheckinbags]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@planning-A1945]

Thumbs up 😁😍 nice experience information vlog ❤

[@bighand1530]

Same

[@nocheckinbags]

Thank you so much 😁

[@charitollanos9985]

Your so lucky to see those lovely creatures,I wish I could experience up close with them one day😊

[@pinoyrock4090]

if they really want to make more money they will charge an exorbitant amount just to see them. the local government let you pay a very small amount of money for the locals so they can have a decent job to feed their family and to take care of the whale shark rather than hunt them and ate them. their trying their best to please all the visitors and nobody is pushing you to came just to criticize the locals.

[@solkalibri1376]

Yes. You tell him that. He is a misinformed soul.

[@yanadventures]

Super agree.....the guy in this vlog is such a typical caucasian man pessimist narcissist that always a lot of COMPLAINING AND COMPARING....

[@yebbiplays]

lol i came across this vid and it pissed me off. do they want special treatment cos theyre foreigners? lol go find whale sharks in an open sea you find yourself 😂

[@GeneCampos]

I think you are very blessed to see them without any accidents. That would be not interesting vacation if you ask me.

[@idakristinedemesa5234]

I saw some vids where they do whale shark snorkeling late morning, and it’s definitely less crowded.

[@elpidioreal9917]

Only the most virgin Pacific Ocean 🌊 water 💦 that enters the Philippines and exits to various Asian countries due to the rotation of the earth 🌎🌍. Love the Philippine beaches. Same is true about air.

[@nocheckinbags]

Philippine beaches are beautiful 😍😍

[@packyho3218]

amazing👍

[@nocheckinbags]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@salsafanatics]

hi, great vid!!!!! May I know where you booked a vehicle from MoalBoal? Assuming he waited after :-) We plan to do the same thing from Moalboal. thank you.

[@nocheckinbags]

We just booked from a random shop on the main street in Moalboal

[@salsafanatics]

@@nocheckinbags Thank you!!

[@gissneric]

It seems like a great experience but I don't think I would wake up that early, travel and wait in the midst of all that chaos or maybe there's an off peak season where there's not many people.

[@yanadventures]

ROBERT IS ONE LAD WHO IS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE WORLD BUT WILL NEVER BE IMPRESSED ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIMSELF OR HIS WORLD WHERE HE'S FAMILIAR WITH.....such a negative guy with sick pessimism and monotonic complaining. He proceeds to comment saying "the reason why people are unimpressed" but ends up on the next clip giigling with fun 🙄😒. Compares experience in Thailand where it is "organic" compared to how he sees oslob whaleshark as "touristy" and crowded....COMMON SENSE: NOT A SINGLE PERSON LIVE IN THE SEA AND USED TO SEEING WHALE SHARK IN THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY. ALL PEOPLE WHO FLOCK IN TOURS ARE JUST LIKE YOU....THEY WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT THEMSELVES AS ANYONE WHO HAS NOT TRAVELLED and seen the world. Need to be more openminded sir. The world does not revolve around you and people aren't the same as you....but everybody strives hard to catch a glimpse of what the world offers....be kind and more gentler.

[@carmelitajacinto6724]

Wow 🤩

[@bighand1530]

Wow is right

[@AndNoted]

My friend and her child cannot swim. Would they still be able to go?

[@nocheckinbags]

You’re given life jackets so it’s up to their discretion if they feel comfortable. You can still see the whale sharks from the boat

[@MasaganaManuel]

lodi ja jaja 🤣🎉🎉🎉

[@ma.luisasingson8535]

Hello, may I have your permission to use your video for our travel agency videos?

[@fkoff7649]

I hope you were able to drop by Osmena Peak, it's the highest peak in Cebu and also beautiful.

[@nocheckinbags]

I'm so sad we missed this - but we'll be coming back for sure so next time!!

[@firstknight193]

Your subscriber here in Saudi Arabia

[@nocheckinbags]

Welcome! :)

[@MarcusSmart21]

hello guys can you upload two. videos every week 👍🇵🇭

[@nocheckinbags]

We wish we could, but with our schedules now it is just not feasible and sustainable for us to post 2 long format videos per week. Here and there we could, but to do it week in and week out consistently we at the moment can't sustain it. We are both so happy you like our content and want more. We are truly doing our best at the moment. Thank you again for your support!

[@erictrippe2778]

Three sightings? Too bad. We were surrounded by them for 30 minutes. It was awesome!

[@nocheckinbags]

Ah that’s even better!

[@fashionfgurl18]

There is a Whale Shark in Bohol which isnt crowded

[@nocheckinbags]

Something we will have to check out next time

[@PabloNaidasjr]

[@solkalibri1376]

[@yebbiplays]

[@yebbiplays]

obviously using the ph too for clout. so desperate
