Loboc River Cruise in Bohol

Another must-visit and experience activity in Bohol is the Loboc River Cruise. It's a very popular destination because more than its floating restaurants and their food, one will be treated with the magnificent and breathtaking view of the Loboc River and its surroundings. The very clean river is complemented with green landscapes and tall coconut trees against a backdrop of a forest.

Loboc is around 24kms away from Tagbilaran and it's one of the iterenaries of most, if not all, Bohol Tour Packages. On your way here from the city, you'll pass by several other places of interests like the Sandugo Shrine and the Loboc Church which is the home of the award-winning Loboc Children's Choir.

There are two choices fo the river cruise. One is via a banca(canoe) where boatmen will take you to the cascading mini waterfall of Busay. Another, which is more popular, is boarding the floating restaurant new the Loay bridge where they are stationed. Food here was fine and plenty and features local delicacies. While cruising and eating your sumptous buffet, a band will serenade you. Guests are also invited to sing if they like to.

The river cruise ends at the Busay Falls. It's about one and a half meter high and it marks the point where the floating restaurant cannot go any further. You'll stop at this point for a while to allow the guest to appreciate the landscape.

If you are lucky, the boat may stop at a tribal community along the banks of the river (not all boats stop here). You will be welcomed by the music of the Ati Tribe of Bohol. Here, tourists can mingle with the members of the tribe and they may even teach you how to play archery. The Ati Tribe were very friendly and playful and it's definitely a very good addition to the attractions. Visiting them is free but a small amount of donation is very welcome to help them and their community.

As of this writing, the Loboc Floating Restaurant Cruise costs PHP280 per head plus a municipal tax of PHP30. The amount already includes a buffet lunch and of course, the boat rental. The entire trip takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
