How about a river adventure?
Loboc River in Bohol is a very busy place being one of the top attractions for tourists.
Mostly because of the River Cruise – floating buffet restaurants showcasing Filipino cuisine and culture (through songs & dances).
It is almost always full-packed every day.
BUT If you want to escape the crowd while having fun, stand-up paddling is a great way to enjoy the famous river!
You still get to enjoy the river and because there are fewer activities, it’s more scenic and peaceful.
On a Monday morning, me and my friends drove for around 30 minutes to the town of Loboc to Fox & The Firefly Cottages for this stand-up paddling experience,
Who says Mondays can’t be relaxing? 😜
We went to Fox and Firefly Cottages for our stand-up paddling (SUP) experience since it’s the home of SUP Tours Philippines!
We got the Waterfall SUP Tour – a 3-4 hour paddling to Busay Falls and making a stop at a cold spring.
Our guide gave us an orientation and the basics of standup paddling. What to expect, how to properly paddle, the right length, how to mount, etc.
And after that, off we went like we were experts! 😆
We stopped by the cold spring to swim, drink water, and eat snacks the guide brought for us.
The paddle was hot since we started late in the morning but it was still both relaxing and meditative – almost!
Kind of a full-body workout too. 💪
The paddle was tiring but I imagined it was one of the rivers where Raya (the Disney character) cruised to find the last dragon 😂 – that did the trick!
We probably disturbed the river’s peace though when we sang Disney songs while paddling 🤫.
We still had some energy left after the tour, so we played more and tried some tricks the guide taught us.
Then we washed up and was able to see the interesting amenities of the cottages.
I’ll definitely go back there to try their rooms and food!
