Boracay’s beaches will rival the beaches in Indonesia and Thailand. It is truly world-class – not just for the beaches but the other attractions as well – dining, entertainment and sports. Boracay is a small island that is bone or butterfly-shaped. From Manila, the capital of the Philippines, it will take half an hour to 45 minutes to Boracay. It is located in Western Visayas, at the tip of Panay Island.
Boracay is known not just for its breathtaking beaches, but for it’s atmosphere and for the activities it can offer. There are water sports galore – kite-surfing, wind-surfing, banana-boat riding, sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. Boracay is also known for its glorious sunset and its warm, friendly people.
Boracay Island has plenty of great beaches. There is the popular White Beach, Diniwid Beach, Punta Beach, Balinghai Beach and so much more. There are a number of sandy coves nestled around the island and even more little islands surrounding Boracay.
For amazing views of the island, go up to Mount Luho. The steps may be tiring and exhausting, but the views you will enjoy is well worth it. Another unique experience will be a visit to eerie Dead Forest, where literal dead trees cast shadows that you may either find mysterious or downright scary (depending on your inclination). You can also visit the bats at Yapak. Here, fruit bats and cave bats fly right over your head.
If you have the family with you, you can visit Kingfisher’s Farm or the Butterfly Garden at Bolabog Beach. The farm actually raises the milkfish (or bangus as it is known to locals). This place allows you to fish for your lunch – but don’t worry, if you don’t catch anything, you can always order. You can also spend lazy afternoons combing the beach for shells.
Then, after the day has ended, it’s not yet time to go back to your room. Change to your glittery finery (or just your usual shirt and short will do). It’s time to party, party, party! The pulsating beat of modern music and the heat of the closely pressed bodies emanate energy to help you party until daybreak.
