The Bojo River is a 1.4-kilometer waterway located in the Bojo River Nature Reserve, which is protected and maintained by the Bojo Aloguinsan Eco-Tourism Association. It is home to around 70 bird species and native flora. The word “bojo” has two meanings depending on the language used. In Spanish, it means “river ceiling” while in the Visayan language, it means “hole,” which is logical since the river essentially ends up as “a hole” leading to the sea.

The Bojo River Cruise & Eco-Cultural Tour is among the most popular tourist attractions of the town. And it is not a simply river cruise where you only get to admire the beauty of nature since the guides are knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the area. The guides will also share the history of the association taking care of the river and its surroundings. So, the river cruise on the Bojo River will not only be a fun activity, it will also allow guests to learn something new about nature. The limestone rocks close to the mouth of the river are similar to the ones found in El Nido or Coron in Palawan. The river cruise will take around three hours to finish and guests have the option to take a dip on the clear waters at the mouth of the river.  Read More:  http://www.peanutbrowas.com/blog/bojo-river-cruise-in-aloguinsan

Bojo River spans about 1.4 kilometers from the starting point up to the river mouth. The river cruise would take more or less an hour. Because the cruise is dependent on the tides, better ask ahead before coming to Bojo River. The river water is also brackish due to the saltwater intrusion, a mixture of fresh water from the natural springs and saltwater from the sea. However, the river cruise is safe since the waters are very calm and there are no crocodiles in the area. The design of the banca or small boat is also stable because of its katig or support arches on both sides. Life vests must be worn at all times.

Bojo River is also home to 71 species of birds, ten species of which are migratory birds that show up during dusk and dawn. Bring binoculars with you along for a better view.  Read More:  https://outoftownblog.com/bojo-river-cruise-an-eco-cultural-tour-in-aloguinsan/
