Boracay

Boracay's world-famous 4-kilometer stretch of powdery white sand consistently ranked among the best beaches globally. The sand stays remarkably cool even under the tropical sun due to its high calcium content from crushed coral. Divided into three stations, White Beach offers everything from luxury resorts to budget accommodations, beachfront restaurants to fire dancers at sunset. The crystal-clear turquoise waters are perfect for swimming and the sunsets are legendary. Simply walking barefoot along this pristine shore is a quintessential Boracay experience.

The most iconic landmark of Boracay - a volcanic rock formation rising from the shallow waters at the boundary of Station 1 and 2. Accessible on foot during low tide (wade through waist-deep water at high tide), the rock features a carved stairway leading to a shrine of the Virgin Mary at the summit. The grotto glows at night, creating a magical sight from shore. A must-visit photo spot and spiritual site for Catholic visitors. The surrounding area offers some of the best views of White Beach.

A more natural and less developed beach on Boracay's northern tip, named after the tiny puka shells that wash up on its shores. Unlike the manicured White Beach, Puka Beach has a raw, unspoiled beauty with coarser sand and stronger waves. The beach is lined with simple restaurants serving fresh seafood and coconuts. A short tricycle ride from White Beach, it offers a peaceful escape from crowds and a glimpse of pre-tourism Boracay. Perfect for shell hunting, long walks, and enjoying tranquil beach vibes.

Asia's premier kitesurfing destination located on Boracay's eastern shore. During the Amihan season (November-May), consistent northeast winds create perfect conditions for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Multiple schools offer lessons for beginners to advanced riders, with equipment rental readily available. Even non-participants enjoy watching colorful kites dance across the sky. The reef-protected waters and shallow areas make it ideal for learning. A completely different experience from the calm White Beach.

The highest point on Boracay Island at 100 meters above sea level, offering panoramic 360-degree views of the entire island, neighboring Panay Island, and the surrounding seas. A short hike or ATV ride takes you to the viewing deck where you can appreciate Boracay's unique shape and the contrast between the calm western shore (White Beach) and the windy eastern shore (Bulabog). Best visited on clear days for optimal photo opportunities. The site also features a small zoo and garden area.

The commercial and social heart of Boracay located in Station 2. This open-air shopping complex features over 100 establishments including restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, pharmacies, banks, and travel agencies. From authentic Filipino cuisine to international fare, D'Mall satisfies all culinary cravings. The area comes alive at night with live music, street performers, and the famous fire dancers. Essential services like SIM card shops, ATMs, and tour booking offices make this a practical stop for any visitor.

An eco-adventure destination located on a cliff about 25 minutes by boat from Boracay. Famous for its cliff diving platforms ranging from 3 to 15 meters high, Ariel's Point offers an adrenaline-pumping day trip experience. The all-inclusive package includes boat transfers, unlimited cliff jumps, snorkeling, kayaking, a buffet lunch, and unlimited drinks. The stunning natural setting with crystal-clear waters below the cliffs makes it a bucket-list experience for thrill-seekers visiting Boracay.

A must-do activity exploring the waters around Boracay by traditional paraw sailboat or motorized bangka. Typical tours visit Crystal Cove Island with its two scenic caves, Crocodile Island for excellent snorkeling among coral and tropical fish, and either Puka Beach or a secluded sandbar. Most tours include snorkeling gear, lunch on the beach, and stops for swimming in crystal-clear waters. The scenic boat ride itself offers beautiful views of Boracay and the surrounding islands of Panay.
