Incredible fish tank with great bio diversity from reef sharks and octopuses to frog fishes and rare nudibranches. Really amazing.

Looking to escape the heat of the day we decided to go underground after the very long bumpy road we arrive at Sambulawan Underground River there in a field was a little shelter with life jackets hanging in the breeze asked about it thought what the heck lets go me & my friend took oof with 2 guides very friendly appologised for their lack of english but they were pretty good at it after a couple of mins. we were at the opening a very steep walk down a track the very steep stairs into the mountain the guides were very helpful and safety wise then as we got down to the water our headlamps lit into the river a guide in front & 1 at the rear always watching out for us telling us the hazards (rocks below & above ,sharp rocks etc) showing us all the wildlife in the cave bats & spiders (always friendly spiders) had to laugh there were 3 different passages we went through wading in the river ,climbing through the cave or in the mud of which is good for the skin lots of history they told stories of wartime when the japanese lived in this cave to get their water a very enjoyable time for just over an hour down there at the end of caving we floated in the water cooled down ready for what we was coming the steep walk out but overall it was worth every bit

The must experience ???????? Bojo River Tour ~ is also known as the Aloguinsan River Eco-Cultural Tour The memorisable Bojo River ... is scenically located just south of the township of Aloguinsan , on the lower western coast of Cebu ???????? Bojo is Spanish ... meaning - Coastal Trading Without organised tour ... another way ( as I did ) to find your way to Bojo River Aloguinsan , from Cebu City • firstly can catch a V Hire Van , from Junquera St’s V Hire Terminal ( near Colon St ) to Toledo ( west coast Cebu ) - usually P110 each way ... these V Hire’s leave the Terminal when full • then catch Jeepney from Toledo ( I walked to main north / southern road to find Jeepney ) to Aloguinsan - P35 ( I know I paid extra than regular price ) • from Aloguinsan markets to Bojo River - you need to catch a Habal-Habal motorcycle ???? P50 # With the V Hire Vans ... I again ( as I’ve traveled to Toledo before ) paid for 2 seats each way - P220 ... this was because of my bigger size ???? this allows extra sitting room ... also if you have larger size backpack ????you are required to pay for extra seat for luggage Aloguinsan River Eco-Cultural Tour - Bojo River • ₱20 / person ... entrance fee to Bojo River for just sightseeing • ₱400 / person ... walk-in for river tour * River tour * Swimming • ₱750 / person ... for advance booking w/ 5 or more sightseers * Welcome Lei * Welcome drinks * Lunch ( Bojo River ) * Snack ( Farm House ) * Handicraft Demo * River Cruise * Swimming Local traditional singers welcome groups Swimming , if you like , is around 25 mins near the head of the river The indispensable Bojo River & it’s environment ... is managed by the Bojo Aloguinsan Ecotourism Association (BAETAS) This is a great environmental initiative ... with looking after the river eco system ???? by virtue of the 26 different varieties of mangroves & the fish habitat As the local fishermen , conduct the informative river tour , in small Filipino paddling canoes ( local fishing boats ) ... giving them more income This allows less fishing in the Aloguinsan fishery protection area The locals also keep the river cleaner & plant new mangroves , if needed whilst using the river as a safe port for the local fishing canoes Bojo River is 1.4kms long & is fed by over 20 springs & is also tidal - therefore it’s recommended ... check tides before going to Bojo River ... as the river tours can’t be done during full low tide Disappointedly - there was a wooden boardwalk that once led up uphill to a birdwatcher viewing platform , that gave panoramic views of river & surrounding area ... however this boardwalk has fallen into major disrepair & is now closed for safety reasons All together ???????? just the peacefulness of the river is worth the hassles of traveling to & from Cebu City

Stunning place! Came here to do my Open Water Course and it was amazing. Healthy coral, lots of marine life and friendly volunteers who maintain the area. Small fee to snorkel, kayak or dive.
