Jungle-river day-trip country — floating-restaurant lunch cruises, ziplines, Baclayon church.
The Loboc River winds through central Bohol jungle and is famous for the floating-restaurant lunch cruises — buffet-on-a-bamboo-pontoon trips upriver to small village singing stops, ending at Busay Falls. The nearby Baclayon Church (1717) is the oldest stone church in the Philippines, and the Loboc Eco-Adventure Park offers ziplines and cable cars. A standard half-day stop on the Bohol countryside tour.
