The Loboc River Cruise In Bohol
The LOBOC RIVER
The LOBOC RIVER CRUISE in Bohol, Philippines, is a tranquil journey through the island’s lush tropical landscape. It’s also one of the most popular tours in Bohol, after the famous Chocolate Hills.
Traditional floating restaurants (traditional bancas/outrigger boats) provide a platform for both scenic appreciation and cultural immersion, as visitors dine on Filipino cuisine while enjoying live performances of indigenous music and dance.
Loboc river cruise is at Loboc town, about 26 kilometers from Tagbilaran Airport and 41 kilometers from Panglao Island. The city is a central jumpoff point for visiting various Bohol attractions.
To get here from Tagbilaran City, ride a bus or a jeepney bound to Loboc and Carmen, and ask the driver to drop you off at Camayaan Intersection, where river cruise operators can be found. You may also join a guided tour for a hassle-free trip.
The source of the Loboc River is located in the town of Carmen almost in the center of Bohol. From Carmen, the river takes a westerly course for a distance of about 1.5 kilometres (1 mi) then flows due south into the Mindanao or Bohol Sea. Its drainage area of approximately, 520 square kilometres (200 sq mi), is bordered by a horseshoe-shaped chain of mountain peaks rising to an elevation of 800 metres (2,600 ft). Rainfall is distributed almost uniformly throughout the year, thus Loboc River has a steady and high base flow.[2]
