On the Loboc River

On the Loboc River

Nuts Huts sits on the Loboc River a milky jade coloured strip of water that winds its way lazily through the center of Bohol from the Chocolate Hills to the ocean. I was lucky enough to swim almost every day in its cool waters and travel for many hours along its palm shrouded banks, watching the world go by as coconuts splashed in the water.


1. The Loboc in the early morning

2. The great Vietnam war movie Apocolypse Now was filmed in the Phillipenes. When I saw this view from a boat one morning I could almost feel the Viet-Cong watching me from the banks of the river.

3. The Loboc at mid-day you can see the way the river is a milky jade colour from all the clay that the island sits on.
