Boracay Island Travel Guide

 23 Reviews  The main attraction of this island is to visit its two caves. One of the boatmen will guide you and the island securities. They are assisting guests in going in to the cave giving some tips for safety. They also help capturing pictures for their visitors. Fascinating thing to do. After the cave... 

 22 Reviews  Parasailing. Scary as he** when you're being strapped in. Freaky when you feel the tug of the parachute as you go up up UP in the sky. Then all of a sudden, you find yourself in utter quiet and peace when you're at the top. (Unless of course you have a chatty companion). The view from up top is... 

 18 Reviews   Henna Tattoo & Hair Braid are trademarks of Boracay. Aside from tanned skin, these two are popular proofs that one has gone to Boracay. The prices for these two fun services vary... so try canvassing first for the best price. Don't be shy to haggle, especially if you are two or more. In our case,... 

 18 Reviews  So you want a massage but don't want to have it on the beach? You can ask the masseuse to do the service in your resort/hotel BUT there is additional fee, depending on your resort's policy. I discovered that for the same price as the beach massage, you can pamper yourself with a massage in the... 

 22 Reviews  Tambisaan is the first snorkeling spot we visited. Not that good for me but worth the view along the way. Ilig-ilig beach is the second spot with two islands that can be seen from the shore we visited. The fish and corals are abundant here than Tambisaan. We also enjoyed the beach while they cook... 

 25 Reviews  Sunday, January 15, 2012 As part of our VT Meet in Boracay, many of us went on the RED PIRATES SAILING TOUR. Originally used for fishing or transportation between islands, Paraws, are single hulled Outrigger sailing boats constructed from wood and bamboo and are sturdy little vessels, ideal for the... 

 32 Reviews  Waiting for the sunset in boracay is different like in any other beaches. Kill time before the sunset by: 1) walkathon -enjoy walking alone, w/ friends until you get to the end side of the beach 2) photomania -settle in a comfy place or in a great view then have your photos taken but don't use... 

 13 Reviews  I haven't personally experienced the banana boat ride because of other priorities in schedule, but from what I see from morning till sunset, many thrill seekers ride the banana boat to have an adrenaline rush. I thought a maximum of only 5 people at a time are accommodated on the inflated giant... 

 10 Reviews  I liked this beach more than White Beach. First of all, almost no one was there. There were a few touts selling the puka shells for not too expensive. I said no thanks. The sand is a little rougher but the beach is deep (not wide) and the water gets deep fast. The waves are semi-strong and the... 

 7 Reviews  ATV ride is motor rent for 600 pesos per hour. You can have 2 hours if you like but I suggest 1 hour is enough. The 600 pesos is just a motor rent plus entrance of the 2 stops on your way going up. Stop 1 - Aviary for 70 pesos. It's a bird aviary with just few of the Philippine birds. Not much extra... 

 18 Reviews  Having a photo with their very artistic sand castle as back ground is a normal thing to do when visitors visit Boracay. The sand castles are usually located in front of beachfront accommodations. This is a good memoir because of the date and the name of the resort or hotel you are staying engraved... 

 15 Reviews  Although the Main Bars and Hotels are in Station 1, When you want a less crowded area and more privacy for beach activities like swimming, snorkelling, sun tan, etc. Station 3 is the best since it is farthest by the congested Station 1. You can walk the 800 meter distance to station 3 or hire a... 

 9 Reviews  Willy's Rock is a landmark around the White Beach Station 1. As devout Catholics, the local people built a statue of the Virgin Mary and turned the rock into a shrine. During high tide, it is a jagged islet, but at low tide, one can walk up to it from the sandy beach. 

 11 Reviews  You can also try this water sport if you have a good sense of balance. We tried it for the sake of fun and we ended up hurting ourselves. We paid 100/hr per person. This activity usually offered by the locals lurking at the beach and they will also teach you how to do it. But sad to say I'm not a... 

 10 Reviews  Boracay was an untouched island without electrisity in the beginning of the 90's. There were small cottages along the beach and the locals lived beside the tourists. The roads had no asphalt paving. The tourist arrived with longtail boats right on White beach. You just told the skipper what part of... 

 7 Reviews  The highest peak of Boracay Island that offers adventurers to an easy to moderate trek/climb and offer a panoramic view of the island. There's a view deck made of bamboo at its peak for an unobstructed view. Get there , either with Tricycle, a horse ride or with atv or buggy rides. Inquire at your... 

 4 Reviews  Now you can experience the beauty of Boracay's marine life without even getting wet! Take a trip on the Glass Bottom Boat and learn about the various fish, corals and other sea creatures which inhabit the reefs around the island. The boat takes it's name from the popular childrens film "Finding... 

 4 Reviews  Short hair or long hair, the skillful hands of the locals (young girls & lasses) can braid your hair. Many tourists have fun trying the Boracay braid, not only for experience, but also for convenience (one need not worry about disheveled hair after a swim). There is a chart with pictures of hair... 

 4 Reviews  Be sure to add the island tour in your itinerary. There are lots of locals who will offer island tours once you walk around the beach. Prices ranges from 1,500-2,000 pesos (around 10pax). It includes snorkling, cave diving and lunch in an island nearby prepared by your operator. They will also offer...
