Loboc River
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Sevilla

Loboc River

4.7
4.1/5
155 reviews

The green Loboc River flows quietly through Bohol Island, with dense vegetation covering both banks. Deep in the riverside jungles lies the habitat of various mysterious animals. Such pristine tropical scenery inevitably brings the Amazon River to mind, which is perhaps why it has earned the title of the "Amazon of the East." Cruising the river is widely considered the best way to experience the charm of the Loboc River. Drifting along the quiet waters, you can enjoy the tropical rainforest scenery while observing the unique traditional houses on both banks and feeling the authentic local culture. Perhaps as you pass by, beautiful local girls are playing guitars, singing, and dancing on bamboo platforms by the river, while a mischievous child sits in a tall coconut tree on the bank, waving at you. The end of the boat trip is an indigenous village, where you can go ashore to watch performances like archery, jumping through fire hoops, and fire-eating. Most people who come here participate in a Loboc River cruise, which lasts about 1 hour. The boat departs from Loay Bridge in the southwest of Bohol Island and travels upstream to Busay Falls in the center of the island; this sightseeing route is particularly popular with tourists. The boat offers a hearty and authentic Filipino meal, where you can taste local delicacies such as fresh grouper, squid, and shrimp. During the cruise, local singers will play guitars and sing classic English songs on board, which is quite relaxing.

Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary is a serene sanctuary protecting the world’s smallest primates. Clean, lush, and easily accessible, it’s a must-visit for foreign travelers seeking a unique and ethical wildlife experience in Bohol.

Loboc River Cruise is the best river cruise in the philippines. It's a complete package of entertainment, live music and dance and unlimited buffet foods to soothe both local and international tongue. 1000/10 although it got a bit pricey nowadays, I'd still recommend!

This beach is beautiful and has a lot of nice places to eat. It is good for a sunrise and sunset. White sand and the water is clean to swim in.

The dolphin watching was good in the morning. No turtles were seen and the water was very turbid. The coral garden was OK. Lunch was 500 pesos per person, more than 60 RMB, more expensive than the hotel. Changing clothes in the toilet and washing with a scoop was charged another 100 pesos. Considering the three hours round trip, it was not worth it.

The Tarsier conservation area is really worth a visit. Seeing these beautiful creatures up close really is a treat. The guides show you where to go so as not to disturb them. The lobby has a short video playing with information on tarsiers. The guides will also help take pictures of you with the tarsiers. Its definitely worth a visit. Its also 2minutes away from the man-made forest. Tips: Be quiet so you don't disturb the tasiers.
