The Loboc River Floating Restaurant offers a leisurely lunch cruise along the calm, green waters of the Loboc River in Bohol. The experience combines local food, live music, and scenic views of the forested riverbanks.
Before boarding, guests select from several floating restaurants docked at the riverbank. Most serve a buffet featuring Filipino dishes such as grilled meats, vegetables, pancit, rice, fruits, and occasionally seafood. The food is simple and filling, with a variety of choices available.
Once the cruise begins, live music typically accompanies the ride. A small band performs Filipino classics or soft acoustic songs, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere as the boat gently moves along the river.
Midway through the trip, the boat pauses at a small stage where local performers, often a mix of children and elders, sing and dance in traditional attire. The performance adds a cultural touch to the journey. Tips are welcome but not expected.
The entire cruise lasts around 45 minutes to one hour. With its clean waters, lush surroundings, and easygoing pace, the Loboc River lunch cruise provides a peaceful and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages.
