11:05 AM -11:25 AM: Crossed the river, bought souvenirs, returned to the van
It took us around 20 minutes to pay the entrance fee, cross the river, buy souvenirs at the shops at the other side of the river, and walk back, pause and take pictures in the middle of the river, then return to the van.

| The entrance of the hanging bridge. The management imposes a load limit of 10 persons at a time. |
 |
| This is the distance of the bridge from the river below. You can see a native Boholano washing clothes at the river. |
 |
| The wooden flooring of the bridge |
 |
| There are 2 bridges. At the other side are souvenir shops. |
My tip: If you don't have much time shopping for souvenirs, you can make a stop at the souvenir shops at the other side of the river. You can buy peanut kisses, key chains, native placemats, and bracelets. If you're making a stop at the largest python, it's best to buy peanut kisses there instead of the souvenir shops here because they sell the cheapest peanut kisses, almost at factory price.
 |
| It's safe for kids to cross this bridge, as long as they are not initially frightened at the idea. The bridge is stable. |
 |
| We are hanging on top of the Loboc river. |
My tip: Ask your guide to cross the other bridge so he can take a picture like this. In our case, it was our guide, Tatsky's idea to take this picture.
