Visit the bamboo hanging bridge; you will walk across the bamboo intertwine bridge over a slow-flowing river. The deck seems fragile and delicate; with each step, it squeaks; you feel a little tingle in your spine. But the bridge is quite safe, as it supported by secure cables. On the other side of the bridge, there is a small souvenir shop, from which you can buy some mementos to take the tour memorable.

In the southwest area of Bohol, you can enjoy paddle boarding. You will pass through the twisting jungle passageway, enjoying the flawless, pure natural beauty, watching small waterfalls cascading from hilltops. When you book for this river rafting, the operator provides paddle boards, paddle, life jackets, and a complimentary mouth-watering delicious traditional local dish.

The bottom line
