Exploring BOHOL Part 3:Dinner at Loboc River

Visiting Bohol will never be perfect without being with the beautiful and talented Municipality of Loboc. 

Loboc is  home for Musical Talents and a home of the famous Loboc River Cruise.

Join me as I'am going to share My Wonderful Loboc Experience :)

Take Note!

         We have been to Loboc on our first day. Since we don't have the luxury of time to waste. We maximized our first day. What supposed to be a lunch cruise (as normal tourist does) we decided to have the dinner cruise which will start and end late in the evening since we arrived in Tagbilaran Airport 2:00pm that's why we only have the afternoon till night for our first day. 

Useful Info :)

1.  Price: 600/Head (Buffet Dinner Included + Cruise)
2.  Schedule 

•   6:30-7:30pm Buffet Dinner
•   7:30-9:00pm Loboc River Cruise

 3.  From Tagbilaran

• Ride a Tricycle/Van
• Ride a Jeep / Bus (Terminal near Island City Mall) Not advisable.

Note: There is a Stationary buffet Boat and a separate boat for the cruise, so you can enjoy the buffet till 7:30pm but you can bring food and drinks with you during the cruise.

Tip: If you are planning to do a Night Cruise make sure to have a private/hired van or Tricycle because the cruise might end very late and it is very uncomfortable for a tourists to commute in a foreign place. (in my opinion lang! hihihi)

Our Loboc Itinerary:

• 1. •       

We arrived in Loboc at 5:30pm this was because we planned to have the last batch of Day Cruise but unfortunately we did'nt make it so we have no choice but to wait for the Night Cruise as we travelled almost an hour just to be here :)

While we are waiting, our good driver kuya Ramil took us to some places within Loboc River,  just to kill the time ! not literally :)

1. Unfinished Bridge across Loboc River

        I enjoyed it so much! While we were here me and Josh had a wonderful time/ bonding while taking more pictures of ours :) Here are the pictures taken with our special buddy, our tripod.

View of the Loboc River and an old house :)

Bonding Moments :) Ayiiie!

My Fave Shots :)

 Sweet :)

Thanks to the boyfriend for the pictures :)

2. Natural Spring

     The second place Kuya Ramil unselfishly showed us was a Mini Natural Spring. I enjoyed it here as I took my shoes off and have my bare foot on the water. Josh wasn't able to remove his shoes because it is not like my "Crocs Jelly Shoes" where I don't have to wear socks . Bad for him tsk tsk.. (Evil Laugh hahhaa).

This spring is an extension of the Loboc River. Luckily the mud from the river cannot go through here because it is a spring  :) the dirt from the river always goes away!

Josh has pictures too :)

Finally Josh had a perfect camera mood setting (minus the blurr on it) for this wonderful yet simply view of the river :)

 This view is something that I'm missing right now. Simple view, simple living and simply nature.

Fave view :)

After this we went to The Cruise Terminal :)

3. Loboc River Night Cruise :)

 Finally, the main event for this day, The Cruise :) 

Inside the waiting area. With free Wi-Fi and 2 PC's with internet, this is free! and this is an air conditioned room :)

 I was easily fascinated with the ambiance that surrounds me, I mean the lights around me this is something that I always wanted to be with. It was like a glimpse of a dramatic moment, everything was a "Slow Mo" painted with wonderful colors of lights and emotions.



Knowing me, the lights always catches my attention. I even dream of having my wedding at night so that I can acquire the ambiance with lights . Full of lights haha. I don't know i feel some drama on it kasi , it is very romantic! Too much of the Lights na :D

• The Buffet Dinner :)

The first thing i want to tell you guys is that don't expect too much on the food :) Because it was one of the things I expected to be something different. Well, the food here were simple, simple Filipino foods but the taste is very good. I was not upset yet i was not surprised.

Menu on that night:







1. Sinigang na Hipon (Shrimp) I almost eat all the shrimp. Sarap! (Delicious!)
2. Fish Fillet
3. Seaweed salad with Pipino and lettuce
4. Biko
5. Baby potatoes
6. I forget the pork Viand. (Basta may pork hahhaa.. nakalimutan ko na)
7. Fresh Fruits
8. Bottomless Iced Tea 

1. Sumptuous Dinner ... and Romantic Too :)

Forgive me for the blurred pictures as we have this in long exposure mode  :)

Me? happy! though tired na :)

• The Loboc River Cruise :)

After the dinner , we trasferred to a separate boat to begin the cruise. The moment I sat in a reserved seat inside it, the boat slowly moved and the lights were slowly turned off. Then I suddenly heard the guitar strumming while a Local man singing love songs.

I can describe that experience as ecstatic in a way that I even forgot that I am having Exams back in school, work issues at work and some family matters. All problems were vanished in a while which was enough to keep me moving and continue my busy life back in Manila. I am refreshed!



I remember the time when me and the Boyfriend became silent in a while, my head is leaned on his shoulders while I am resting in his arms. Yay! We just felt blessed for the fact that we enjoyed the wonderful scene, the lights , the air that the river showed us and most especially the presence of each other. How Romantic!

 After a while, I've seen a place where locals are about to present a song and a dance number. Knowing Loboc as a home for musical talents, no wonder that I am surprised on how they danced and sang their local music, especially the energetic moves of the children. They are amazing!

I even tried to do tinikling. Which I super missed! Because when I was in high school I'am very active in our City Theater group were we sing,play ukulele, and do cultural dances like this. I enjoyed it :)

After the show, the boat headed back to the terminal. Where we need to have our goodbyes to Loboc River and its wonderful people. I want  to be back and will try the lunch tour :)

     While we were preparing to depart from Loboc. We heard an orchestral show. And we decided to stay for a while (This was free yey!). I love musical instruments especially live shows :) The group was named Loboc Youth Ambassador! They are amazing too!


I will never forget this evening, Ever! :)
One of the colorful Night of my Life as of now.
