SUPERCAT TO BOHOL MORE TO BE ADDED
LUBOC RIVER CRUISE AND TARSIERS
Loboc River Boat Ride in Bohol, Philippines
What a fantastic way to experience Filipino cuisine, Visayan traditional music and the beautiful tropical riverbank paradise. The Loboc River in Bohol, Philippines made us experience all these and much more.
Loboc River is located a few
kilometers away from the city of Tagbilaran in Bohol, Philippines. It is 2-hour flight from Manila.
The Loboc River Cruise features floating restaurants. You can feast on Filipino food while the floating pontoons take you on a relaxing trip down the river. The “eat all you can” buffet offer 10 courses of popular Filipino dishes that you can enjoy while being serenaded by two musicians belting Tagalog and Visayan songs.
While you are eating your lunch and savoring the tropical breeze of Bohol, you will be serenaded by native singers. They sing traditional Filipino and Visayan songs with their guitars and colorful polo shirts and native hats. Aside from the view, these singers are one of the best things I loved about the boat ride. They are friendly and they make you feel at ease.
The whole River cruise takes about 45 minutes to one hour. There are public floating boats and private floating boats. The ride for the public boats are priced at less than $4 and the ride for the private floating boats cost about $15 and additional $5 for each person.
BUSAY FALLS Busay Falls is located inland of the Loboc River past Sevilla
town. This beautiful falls provides an exciting scenery for the bathers. Bathers jam this bathing resort during weekends. Two little islets in the middle of the river make the place an ideal site for picnickers. The rushing waters are the favorite bathing pool of the children.
You will feel the Filipino spirit while you are in the Loboc River Cruise. The friendly, talented and hospital people, the wonderful tropical paradise, the sumptuous Filipino food and the lush vegetation of the Loboc riverbanks– everything you ever dream of in a Philippine vacation are all here.
TARSIERS
On our way back, we passed by a large cage holding some tarsiers: these small primates are a symbol and trademark for Bohol. Before, there used to be a number of small ugly cages, where these animals where kept where kept in appalling conditions. No way should people treat those interesting but shy nocturnal creatures in such a bad way! Now, these cages have been replaced by one larger one and a DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) permit has been obtained.
Tarsiers is considered the smallest monkey in the world. Tarsiers are known as natural habitants in the town of Loboc located inland Bohol. It is believe that these smallest-monkey creatures can only be found in Bohol.
