Loboc Bohol River Cruise

by Happy Slip

This is a lesson on how to enjoy the Loboc River Cruise. The Loboc River is now one of the major destinations of tourists, local and foreigners alike. Located in the Municipality of Loboc, a mere 24 kilometers away from Tagbilaran City, the winding river plays host to cruisers on board small bancas or floating restaurants.



Loboc now offers both day and night cruises. During the day, visitors are treated to a vista of lush tropical vegetation such as nipa palms, coconut trees, banana groves, and bushes. Night cruises offer the same vista yet more mesmerizing with the display of magical lights along the Loboc River and their shimmering reflection on the waters at 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. daily. The cool and romantic atmosphere at night is an added bonus!

The Loboc River Cruise along the river starts from the Loboc Tourism Complex. Small motorized bancas can be availed of for a minimal fee yet for those who want to eat while cruising, floating restaurants are available offering Filipino cuisine buffet that costs P280 per head or more and local delicacies.
