Cruising along the unassuming river of Loboc in Bohol is one of the things that you should not miss while in this island in the central part of the Visayas. The river is very calm that truly reflects the Boholanos. -simply yet full of essence. Youwill not see any famous or modern landmark while you set sail through this river; instead, you will see natural landscape of cocomut tress, children diving, women washing their clothes along the banks of Loboc River.
Nicknamed as "Bonsai Falls" by local boatmen, the journey ends here..
To make this itinerary more appealing even to local tourists who can’t find the uniqueness of traversing in a river, the local tourism authority added many activities. One of these are the floating restaurants.
