 17 Reviews  April 2012 (Summer in the Philippines) Parasailing. My hubby and sister-in-law are afraid of heights, but REMINDING them that parasailing in fresh-air weather is not possible in Manila (in the Philippines) and is not gonna be as cheap in other parts of the world MADE them agree to go for it. The... 

 18 Reviews  If you want a permanent tattoo in Boracay Island, Philippines... DO NOT go Buday Tattoo at station 2. One of the guys there with ear, nose, lip, face earrings worked on my arm and he really did messed it up. He cannot draw straight lines, not paying attention to his work, careless and don't care of... 

 14 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... 

 16 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... 

 11 Reviews  There are a lot of things to do on this place. You can either rent a boat with glass bottom. Hence, you can see water below as the boat roam around the island. There's banana boat and other water rides you can try. Island hopping is the usual activity there. It is where you can rent a boat and go to... 

 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... 

 6 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... 

 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... 

 21 Reviews  Taking a boat trip with one of the small classical sailing boats in Boracay is one of the musts when in Boracay. One of the best and most established boat companies is the red pirates at station 3 who are genuinely friendly folks who run a little boat business taking people along the Boracay coast... 

 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  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... 

 14 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... 

 22 Reviews  I have been to more than 65 countries and seen sunsets in hundreds of places around the world, but i must say that Boracay is in my top5 for sunsets. The place does not just have really nice sunsets, but they also tend to have a lot of sailing boats returning home by the time the sun sets and that... 

 11 Reviews  If you don't feel like swimming, you can just take a walk at the white beach which I'm sure is a very relaxing experience. You can see the sunset, check some good buys at the shops near the shore and take pictures of the picturesque beach, which I did. 

 11 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...

The area is so serene. the water is so calm. the sand is so fine. the mountains, the trees and the coconuts are just so perfectly set for a perfect paradise set up. we went there in the afternoon and we watched the... 

 5 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... 

 4 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  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...
