Whale shark watching operations in the southern Cebu town of Oslob remain open, but tourism activities continue to depend on actual wildlife sightings, local tourism officials said Monday, May 25, 2026. The clarification came after a four-day stretch beginning Friday, May 22, during which whale sharks failed to appear in the interaction area during early morning operations, prompting temporary pauses in tourist activity.
