Historically prior to road construction , the river served as a waterway for the people going to and from the interior towns . Following the success of the Loboc River tours , there are river cruises from the Abatan River Visitor Center in Cortes to various communities upstream . Kayak exploration and stand-up paddle boarding are also available . The visitor center suffered severe damage from the 2013 Bohol earthquake
