Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

The green Lobo River flows quietly on Bohol Island, with dense vegetation on both sides, and the deep jungle on the shore is the habitat of various mysterious animals. Such pristine tropical scenery can not help but remind people of the Amazon River, perhaps because of this, it has the title of "Oriental Amazon River". Boating on the river has been recognized as a good choice to experience the customs of the Luobo River. Wandering in the quiet river by boat, while enjoying the scenery of the tropical rain forest, you can also watch the characteristic houses on both sides of the river and feel the simple folk customs. Maybe as you pass by the boat, the beautiful local girls are playing guitar, singing and dancing on the bamboo platform by the river, and some naughty child is sitting on the bank of the tall coconut tree to greet you. The end point of the rafting is an indigenous village, where you can go ashore to watch performances such as archery, drilling a fire ring, and swallowing fire. Most people who come here will take a cruise on the Lobo River. The cruise takes about 1 hour. The boat departs from Loay Bridge in the southwest of Bohol Island and goes up the river to BusayFalls in the center of the island. This tourist route is especially popular with tourists. There are rich and authentic Philippine specialties on board, and you can taste fresh grouper, squid, shrimp and other local delicacies. During the rafting, there will also be local singers playing guitars and singing old English songs on the boat, which is quite pleasant.
