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.Sevilla · 21.3km from Carmen

Chocolate Hills is one of the Philippines’ most iconic natural wonders, famous for its uniquely shaped hills that turn chocolate brown in the dry season. Well-maintained, it’s a must-visit for foreign travelers seeking breathtaking and unforgettable scenery 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!

It is still far from Panglao Island. It takes more than 60 kilometers to drive a motorcycle one way, and it feels that one kilometer in foreign countries is much farther than one kilometer in a taxi. Chocolate Hill is a hilltop where you can see other hilltops, one after another. It can be regarded as a check-in spot.

The Bohol Chocolate Hills, created by nature over thousands of years, were truly awe-inspiring and unique. Once you reach the observation deck, you must climb the stairs. There are photo spots along the way, so you can take your time and take photos.
