Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  One good way to explore the island's beaches and scenery is by mountain bike. Due to it's relatively small size (less than 10km long ans 6 km wide from Lanas to San Jose) this can easily be done in a day. You can take the coast road around the island, or cut across the... 

Beach Hopping

Beach Hopping, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  In search of that deserted beach? Take a boat trip from Boracay to nearby Carabao Island and experience real peace and quiet. Bring a picnic or cook your own BBQ on the beach. An ice box filled with cold drinks also comes in handy.

Carabao Island Resort: Budget Cottages

Carabao Island Resort: Budget Cottages, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  This small 'resort' has nice budget cottages set in a pretty garden facing Carabao's pristine Lanas beach. Rooms cost P800 per night. The facilities are pretty basic, though the rooms are nice and clean, and have the essential rattan hammock on the veranda!. 

Carabao Lodge: Quiet Resort

Carabao Lodge: Quiet Resort, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  Carabao Lodge is also located on the island's quiet Lanas Beach. This place is really suited to those who want to get away from it all for a couple of days, as there's nothing much in the way of nightlife, and the beach is very quiet. There are several large, native style...

Off The Beaten Path  

Get Away From It All

Get Away From It All, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  There really isn't much to do on the island, but for me that is the beauty of it! If you are looking for a place to simply rest and relax, swim, snorkel or simply swing in the hammock with a good book, this is the perfect secluded hideaway. It would also be a great place for...

Snorkeling

Snorkeling, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  The calm, clear waters at Lanas beach are a great place to go snorkeling. You'll need to bring your own fins and mask though. If you are visiting from Boracay, you can rent those things there and bring them with you. 

Flying Fish

Flying Fish, Carabao Island

 sirenna Says:  As we grew close to the shore on our little boat, we were greeted by several fish leaping out of the water. They were quite large, perhaps a foot long. The water is really calm and clear, so I bet this would be great place to try a little fishing. You'll need to bring...
