Drift into one of Bohol’s most unforgettable night experiences as you paddle along the serene waters of the Loboc River. Begin at sunset, standing (or kneeling) on your board as golden light fades into twilight. Then, as darkness sets in, watch the riverbanks come alive—either with the soft glow of fireflies sparkling through the mangroves or the gentle shimmer of moonlight reflecting across the water.
Glide quietly through nature, guided by the rhythm of the river, surrounded by stillness, stars, and the sounds of the wild.
A perfect blend of adventure, tranquility, and natural magic—ideal for travelers seeking something truly unique in Bohol.
Tour highlights
Experience the paddling in the night time and the whole new world reveals as you glide above the water. Listen to interesting facts about the fireflies along the way and before you know it, you’re already at the mother tree of fireflies.
