Bohol Island Geopark Travel Tidbit

Long before roads connected Bohol’s towns, the Abatan River was a vital water highway, carrying people between coastal and inland communities. Its name comes from the old Visayan word abad, meaning “to meet” or “to converge”—a fitting title for a river that once brought travelers together on their journeys. Today, its tranquil waters invite visitors to glide through mangroves and witness dazzling fireflies, blending history with natural wonder.

Tip: Visit at dusk to see the river transition from a historic trade route to a glowing firefly sanctuary!
