We had a great time (whale sharks were great!, waterfalls beautiful, small island also really great) but please note that the Whale Shark attraction is a bit of mess: you are dropped at Oslob around 6AM and have to wait in the queue for 30min to register for tickets, then you go to Restaurant for 1h for breakfast and get back to Oslob to wait for your ticket number. We had ticket number L180 and the current one was number L30 so around 5h waiting. Later our guide arrange lower number so we waited around 3h at the end. We didn't have any money as you leave everything in the car so couldn't buy even a bottle of water and our Guide had to buy us water. You get back to car and your things after Whales and Small Island cruise so we were without money for most of the day which was a pain. Please take some money with you in waterproof bag.

Swimming with whale sharks was breathtaking ! The whole tour was well organized, I loved it. We were only a small group of 4. Princess was amazing, best guide ever! Despite the long drive it was 1000% worth it!
