Originally built sometime after World War II to help farmers cross the river and transport their goods, the bridge has since become one of Bohol’s most recognizable inland attractions.
Today, it consists of two parallel bamboo suspension bridges, about 40 meters long, replacing the original single crossing. The bridges are supported by steel cables but still retain the charm of traditional bamboo craftsmanship — they sway gently as you walk, offering a mix of thrill and scenic beauty.
From the middle of the bridge, visitors can enjoy a serene view of the river winding through dense tropical greenery. Small souvenir stalls and refreshment stands are located at both ends, and there’s now a ₱50 entrance fee for maintenance.
We visited in calm weather — the bridge felt safe, though it moves slightly underfoot, adding to the adventure.

In addition, Kuya infront of parking lot on the right side have a splendid snack called Kab-kab and he sells tasty and fresh...
Read moreThe bridge is made of weaved bamboo which made it kind of hard to walk on, but it looked very lovely. No need to be concerned about the strength because there are cable wires underneath for support. BONUS TIP: At the end of the bridge you can shop for beautiful tshirts and other souvenirs, the cheapest you can find!! We compared prices at Chocolate Hills, near Alona beach, tarsier conservatory, butterfly & phython area - they were all more expensive (P90 at the bridge vs P150-P450 everywhere else) and the quality of the shirts not as nice too. Even the Peanut Kisses were cheapest by...
