Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our Oslob: The Ruins Tour, a perfect blend of historical exploration and natural beauty in the heart of Cebu, Philippines. This carefully crafted tour takes you beyond the well-known whale shark encounters, offering a deeper dive into Oslob’s rich heritage and stunning landscapes. When you book this tour with us, you’re not just signing up for a trip—you’re stepping into a story that spans centuries, with exclusive perks and personalized touches that make it truly special.

What’s Included in the Oslob: The Ruins Tour?
Our Oslob: The Ruins Tour is designed to immerse you in the town’s historical treasures while showcasing its natural charm. Here’s what you’ll experience when you book with us:

1. Visit to the Cuartel Ruins
Step back in time as you explore the Cuartel Ruins, an unfinished Spanish-era barracks built in 1860 from coral stone. This hauntingly beautiful structure offers a glimpse into Oslob’s colonial past, standing strong despite typhoons and earthquakes. Marvel at its rustic architecture and imagine the lives of the Spanish soldiers who once planned to call it home.

2. Exploration of the Baluarte Ruins
Discover the Baluarte Ruins, a Spanish watchtower dating back to 1788. Perched near the coast, this historic site was built to protect the town from pirates and raiders. Its weathered stones and scenic seaside location make it a photographer’s dream and a window into Oslob’s defensive history.

3. Whale Shark Watching (Optional Add-On)
While the focus is on the ruins, you can enhance your tour with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to swim with Oslob’s gentle giants—the whale sharks. We provide snorkeling gear, safety equipment, and expert guides to ensure a safe and awe-inspiring experience in the crystal-clear waters.

4. Side Trip to Boljoon Church
Journey to the nearby 400-year-old Boljoon Church, the oldest stone church in the Philippines. Crafted from coral stones, this architectural gem is steeped in history and resilience, having survived centuries of challenges. It’s a peaceful stop that adds depth to your cultural adventure.

5. Wild Monkey Viewing
Get a taste of Oslob’s natural wonders with a visit to Sitio Bulak, a hillside woodland teeming with over a hundred playful monkeys. It’s a delightful break that connects you with the local ecosystem.

6. Hassle-Free Experience
From roundtrip transfers from your hotel in Cebu City, Mandaue, or Lapu-Lapu to entrance fees and local guide assistance, we’ve got every detail covered. Relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about logistics.
