The best massage to be had outside of a spa is with Abe (pronounced Abby), a blind guy who works on the beach outside Cocoloco bar in Angol (a couple of minutes walk south of boat station 3). He specialises in Swedish massage, shiatsu, accupressure etc, and charges P300 per hour. He has a bed for you to lie on, unlike some of the other masseurs working along the beach, and will tailor the massage to suit you - don't be afraid to ask for a harder or softer massage. Go in the evening, as watching the sunset while getting a massage is an absolute must! Room service is also available.

At Boracay Horse Riding Stables you can take out one of the friendly, locally bred horses and ride solo or accompanied by one of the stables' expert guides, to discover the island's natural beauty. Both beginners and expert riders are catered for. This is a great way to explore native villages and parts of the island most tourists don't get to see. The best time for riding is early morning or late afternoon, when you can avoid the midday sun. It costs $10 US for adults for a one-hour ride. Discounts are available for children and group bookings.
Wear a pair of loose, comfortable trousers to avoid chafing!
Open 6am-6pm daily. Leave a Comment Address: Off the main road, past boat station 1.Phone: Brenda & Romy +63 36 288 3311Directions: It's best to take a tricycle there - all the drivers know where it is.

Don't leave Boracay without sailing with these guys! Captain Joey, Raymond and the boys know all the best spots around the island, and are happy to arrange anything you need - snorkeling equipment, ice box full of cold drinks, beach BBQ, bottle of wine etc. Enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch on a deserted beach while you swim, explore caves or just lay back and relax. Sailing a paraw can be an exhilarating ride on a windy day, or a gentle, relaxing cruise in calm weather. Sailboats are environmentally friendly, and it is much nicer without the noise and stench of an engine chugging away.
This is a perfect if you want to escape the crowds on White Beach and see another side of the island. Trips can also be arranged to neighbouring islands such as Panay and Carabao. Be sure to bring your sunblock, camera and sarong. Leave a Comment Address: Angol, BoracayPhone: 0920 6042203Directions: Walk down the beach a few minutes past boat station 3.

I went on the 3 hour sunset cruise around the coast of the island - it's a really lovely experience. Alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and snacks are included in the price. You can usually find Mike or Chrisi at Nigi Nigi's bar in the evening to make a booking. Leave a Comment

Parasailing is one famous activity in the island. A little bit pricey but its worth a try. Price per person is USD50 or around 2,500 in peso. You can bargain upto 2,000 pesos.
You can do single or double like the one shown in the photo.
Parasailing in boracay is way tooooooo safe than what we had in Phuket.
So, never miss the chance and have a bird's eye view of white beach and the whole island of boracay. Address: Anywhere along the beach

Take a boat ride to the north of the island at sunset and watch the fruit bats as they fly over to the mainland to feed. A really spectacular sight - they are much bigger than you might imagine.
Some unscrupulous locals offer tours through the forest to visit the bats during the day, but avoid doing this - it disturbs their natural sleeping habits.
The number of bats is declining every year, from over 2 thousand two years ago to just over a thousand now, due to a (so-called) eco-resort being built on their nesting site. Go and see them as soon as possible, as they are about to begin building a Shangri-La hotel on top of them too, which will no doubt wipe them out completely.
For more information about endangered species and conservation in the Philippines, contact the PESCP (Philippine Endemic Species Conservation Project).
It is a great shame that the local authorities in Boracay seem to care so little about preserving the island's endangered wildlife such as monkeys, turtles, birds and fruit bats.
In a year or two there may be none left. Leave a Comment Address: YapakPhone: 036 288 5767Directions: Northern end of Boracay. Take a paraw ride at sunset

Kiteboarding is taking off in a big way in Boracay. Head over to Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of the island to watch the show, and call in for a chat with the guys from Ocean Republic. They will be happy to advise you on how to get started, and you can rent or buy kiting equipment from them. Leave a Comment

Watch local artists at work, get a henna tattoo or have a hand-painted t-shirt personally created for you.... the Plazoleta is the best place on the island to shop for native arts and crafts. There are little shops selling unusual jewelry, hand-made leather bags, musical instruments, paintings and beautifully made handicrafts. If you are in search of an unusual souvenir or unique present, this is the place to come. Leave a Comment Address: PlazoletaDirections: Near boat station 2.

Take a guided tour of this beautiful little butterfly garden on Bolabog Beach and see some of the many different species of Philippine flora and fauna. You will learn about the life cycles of butterflies, with eggs, caterpillars, pupae and, of course, many different rare and beautiful butterflies.
Friendly couple Patrick and Carmela will be happy to show you around. The gift shop sells handicrafts, plants and souvenirs.
It costs P100 to get in. You can also order drinks and very reasonably priced meals. Leave a Comment Address: Bolabog Beach.Phone: 036 288 6701Directions: On the eastern side of the island, next to Banana Saging resort (5 minutes walk from the mall).
