Less than an hour away from Manila by plane, Boracay Island, located in the Visayan region of the Philippines, is a world-renowned travel destination known for its powdery white sand and pristine beaches. There is no end to the number of thrilling activities and experiences to discover in this postcard-worthy island haven.

1. Tropical Paradise

The breathtaking sceneries of Boracay never fail to attract a lot of travelers who want to see the island’s beauty first hand. The island boasts of crystal azure waters, powdery white sand, abundant flora and fauna, and diverse marine life. No wonder it remains as one of the best islands in the world and was recognized by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure.

2. Beautiful Beaches

You have not fully experienced Boracay if you haven’t seen the nearby islands. Book an island hopping trip and discover the best beaches in Boracay. Have a whole day dedicated to exploring the natural beauty of the nearby islands and beaches such as Crystal Cove Island, Piknikan Island, Crocodile Island, Hinugtan Beach, Magic Island, Puka Beach, and Carabao Island, to name a few.

Each attraction would have a variety of activities to enjoy, from visiting hidden coves and caves, jumping from a limestone cliff, to marveling at impressive rock formations or simply admiring the colorful marine life—it’s a side of Boracay that you wouldn’t want to miss out on!

3. Exciting Water Sports Activities

Adventure has no age limit in Boracay. Ride the waves in style, feel the wind in your face, and try something new. For adrenaline junkies, the island offers different activities that will satisfy your craving for something exciting.

Stand up paddle on the beach, go kite surfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. You can also have the greatest time with your family and friends by trying fun water activities such as riding a banana boat and UFO, and helmet diving. If you want to go extreme, you can do parasailing where you will be treated with a birds-eye-view of the whole island from above while being pulled by a boat.

These activities will surely make your trip to Boracay a memorable one!

4. Food Destination

The island offers a wide selection of gastronomic delights from local to international flavours that will certainly suit every taste.

  • THE BEST RESORT ON THE ISLAND. We have been to many resorts on Boracay, but this is the best by far. The staff are very accommodating, very nice. Kids have a kids room and an activity every 4pm. There are free snacks and snow cones poolside the whole day. The rooms are comfy and cold. The food is yummy. Definitely worth the price!”
