Don't leave Boracay without sailing with these guys! They 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. Captain Joey can create a delicious BBQ lunch for you 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.

Experience sailing on the beautiful 40 foot yacht Tamarind. They offer sunset trips ($20) half day ($40) and 3 day ($60) cruises.
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.

At Boracay Horse Riding Stables you can take out one of the locally bred horses, ride solo or accompanied by one of the stables' expert guides, and 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.

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.

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 Address: Ocean Republic, Bulabug BeachPhone: +63 36 288 3206Directions: Turn off the main road opposite the mall and keep walking till you hit the beach (5 minutes).Website: http://www.ocean-republic.com/newkite/boracay-the-island.htm

If you are feeling energetic, head down the beach to Hey Judes and join a game of frisbee. Beware, these guys are good! Next door at Aria you can enjoy a game of beach tennis with the Italian boys. They usually start around 5pm. In recent years, Boracay has also played host to the annual Ultimate frisbee tournament, which is entertaining to watch (though it looks exhausting). Beach volleyball is also played at several locations along the strip. Leave a Comment Address: Beach front, Hey Judes / AriaDirections: D'Mall, Near boat station 3
