About this list
If you want to see whale sharks in Cebu, you have already picked the place. What remains is who to go with, how, and when. Of the 27 operators in the Philippines on Maptlantis that name the whale shark as a target species, 7 (26%) are in Cebu. Formats listed here: swimming, snorkeling, land-based watching and scuba diving. Few operators in Cebu state their whale shark season in months, so this page does not state one. Check each operator's season in the list. 6 of the 7 operators (86%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. No operator can guarantee a wildlife sighting, and approach distance and in-water rules differ by area and operator.
