Loboc river cruise

After our kaput plan to go to E.A.T. Danao, our plan B was to visit the places in Bohol we weren’t able to see on Day 1 of our trip.

How to go there

Jeff and I’s plan was to commute going to Loboc river cruise. Kuya Allan (caretaker of the resort were in) already gave us instructions on how to get there. We need to grab a habal-habal (motor) first to get to the jeepney station where we can get a ride going to the Loboc river cruise.

We grabbed a motor outside our resort, and asked the driver to take us to the jeepney station going to Tagbilaran. Instead, our driver offered to take us to any place we want at a rate of P400 that day. We accepted his offer, and ended up riding a habal going to Loboc river cruise.

What to See

When we got to the Loboc river cruise, there were a dozen of us who waited in line to get a ticket for the buffet meal, and river cruise in Loboc. Jeff and I got one of the best seats in the cruise, which is exactly in front of the boat though we had to share it with another family of 8.

Perfect spot for perfect pictures, hehe

We then head on to the buffet table. They have pansit, chicken, squid, barbecue, grilled fish, etc. We both grabbed plateful of meal, plus deserts. All food, except for our softdrinks are part of the payment for the buffet meal.

Hold on, theres plenty for everyone

While on the ride, a singer would serenade you with different types of songs, some including local Bisayan music.

The in-house entertainment

Halfway to the whole trip, the cruise stopped at this hut near the river coast. In there, the famous Loboc children’s choir serenaded us with songs, complete with acting, instruments and choreography.

After an hour of touring, we went back to the port of the river cruise. In there, we browsed the souvenir shops, and got us sweet tshirts from this unnoticed store beside the tiangge.
