Hostels in Oslob

If you want to see the whale sharks there’s no better option. It’s literally located at the entrance of the line to await permits in the morning. The lady who owns the place also sets up the morning queue. You will be guaranteed the first boat out in the morning. She will accompany you the whole process till you’re on the boat. Once you get the permit in the wee hours of the morning you can simply walk the few step n be back at the hostel to rest for a bit. Did not realize how long the line is till we walked out the gate in the morning. She can save you hours of standing in line and guarantee a spot.

We had the best stay here! This small quiet hostel is in the perfect location if you have come to Oslob to see the whale sharks. It's right opposite the entrance to the walk in tickets but also if you want to explore it's an easy 15 mins motorcycle or TukTuk ride into Oslob town. We found Oslob so charming and authentic, all the people are so welcoming and friendly. Ken who is the main host at Way Shack is brilliant. He made our 2 nights stay in Oslob so relaxing and helped us with everything. He has good English so easy to communicate with and is very professional and personable. The room is basic but clean and comfortable with a large space for luggage.
