Boracay



A typical tropical paradise in the Central Philippines, Boracay is just off the northwestern corner of the large island of Panay in the Visayas group. It rates as one of the country's top tourist destinations, but was a late starter - until the 1970s only the most clued-up of backpackers even knew the place existed.
The island is some 7 km (4 mi) long and extends to an area of some 10 sq km (4 sq mi). The reasons for coming are simple – sand and sea. The long main beach is on the west coast - and White Beach doesn't misrepresent itself. 




Whether you can looking to be closer to nature or just wanting to be pampered, Boracay offers you more than you can ask for. With activities such as volleyball, skim boarding and snorkeling tours, you and your friends can never get bored there. Consider visiting Boracay at the Amihan season, typically around the September and October period, as it has great temperature and wind for surfing. Also treat yourself with spas and wellness centers in the area.


Discover the underwater world in the crystal clear waters surrounding Boracay. You’ll see a vast array of tropical sea creatures by either taking a short boat ride from the main White Beach, Boracay or taking an island hopping tour. Some boat crew can provide masks, snorkels and fins whilst most Boracay hotels and dive centres also have equipment available for hire.

Paraws, a sailboat typical to Boracay, allows you to sail the calm waters and explore around Boracay Island. Paraws can fit 2 to 6 people and leave from White Beach. These Boracay sailboats either come skippered, or more experienced sailors can hire the entire boat. You can escape to a more secluded Boracay beach only accessible by boat or be awed by the beautiful sunsets and tranquil waters. 





Boracay has become a renowned destination for kiteboarding, hosting the annual Boracay International Funboard Cup competition at Bulabog Beach on the east side of the island. Kiteboarding is best from November to April and all equipment can be hired from the operators along Bulabog Beach. Operators also offer kiteboarding lessons.




ATVs are four-wheel buggies that can be rented by the hour to explore the dirt roads criss-crossing the hills in Boracay’s north end. Places like Tanawin Viewpoint and an aviary can be reached via ATV - these vehicles are not permitted to operate on the Central Highway.
