Must-Do Activities

Relax at White Beach
White Beach is the heart and soul of Boracay — a 4-kilometer stretch of fine white sand divided into three stations (Station 1, 2, and 3). Here, you can sunbathe, swim, sip coconut juice, or simply lounge under a palm tree. Each station offers different vibes: Station 1 for luxury, Station 2 for shopping and dining, and Station 3 for peaceful seclusion.

Catch the Famous Boracay Sunset
As the sun dips below the horizon, Boracay transforms into a golden canvas. Head to the beach around 5:30 PM and witness the dramatic hues of purple, orange, and red reflecting on the water — a daily spectacle that never gets old.

Try Parasailing, Helmet Diving & Fly Fish
Adrenaline junkies will find no shortage of fun here. Soar over the sea with parasailing, go underwater without getting your hair wet through helmet diving, or hold on tight for a wild ride on the Fly Fish inflatable boat.

Island Hopping Tours
Explore nearby islands like Crystal Cove Island, Magic Island, and Crocodile Island. These tours usually include snorkeling, cliff jumping, and buffet lunches served on floating cottages — a full day of island bliss!

Go Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
Discover a vibrant underwater world filled with coral gardens, tropical fish, and even shipwrecks. Whether you’re a certified diver or a curious beginner, Boracay’s dive sites are among the best in the Visayas.

Indulge in Local and International Cuisine
From fresh seafood boodle fights and street-style isaw to international dishes at upscale beachfront restaurants, Boracay is a foodie’s paradise. Don’t miss Jonah’s fruit shakes, chori burger, and seafood platters at D’Talipapa.

Visit Puka Shell Beach
For a quieter alternative to White Beach, head to Puka Shell Beach on the island’s northern tip. It’s less crowded, ideal for meditation, reading, or collecting the naturally polished shell fragments it’s named after.

Try Paddleboard Yoga or Beach Massage
Boracay is also perfect for wellness retreats. Try paddleboard yoga during sunrise, or enjoy a beachfront massage for a fraction of spa prices — pure island relaxation.

Experience the Boracay Nightlife
After sundown, Boracay comes alive. Whether you’re into fire dancers, live acoustic music, beachfront bars, or EDM clubs, the island offers nightlife that caters to every type of party-goer.
