10 Things to Do For an Exciting Vacation at Exotic Boracay

There are myriad things you can do once you arrive in Boracay Island, Philippines. Make sure these 10 activities are in your list

Once you arrive at your beach resort in Boracay, you’ll discover that there are so many things you want to do. But just what are the top things you should try out? Here’s a list of 10 activities that will surely make your vacation exciting and more worthwhile:

1. Helmet diving – Aside from snorkeling and scuba diving, helmet diving is one of the first water sport activities you can do in Boracay. It’s also called ‘reef walking’ because it does not require you to swim or dive to see the island’s colorful marine life.

2. Parasailing – Another fun endeavor while in Boracay. You’ll be hoisted up about 100 m from the water. It may seem a bit scary for first-timers. But once you’re up there, the refreshing winds will take your fear away.

3. Cliff diving – For the more adventurous tourist, this is a must-try. Cliffs at Angol, Diniwid, or Puka Beaches are some of the more famous spots for this exhilarating activity. With heights going up to 50 ft, you’ll surely feel the adrenalin rush to your body.

4. Paraw sunset sailing – A paraw is an outrigger boat that’s indigenous to Boracay. Riding one is an experience in itself. But to sail on a paraw during sunset, when the sky changes colors, is something you should not miss.

5. Going for a sunset helicopter ride – If you want a different vista of Boracay during sundown, go for a helicopter ride in the afternoon, just as the sun sets. Picture-perfect views of the sky and the island await you from above.

6. Getting a henna tattoo – If you desire an artsy memento of your trip to Boracay, a henna tattoo is one of the things you should have. While it may not be permanent, it could last for weeks – and it’s painless, too. Plenty of henna tattoo artists can be found along the beach, and there probably is at least one near your Boracay resort.

7. Riding the Zorb – One of the more popular land attractions, the Zorb is basically human-sized plastic ball that can fit up to 3 people. Basically, you go in the Zorb and then you’ll be pushed to roll downhill. It’s essentially safe, as the Zorb cushions you inside. Some of them come with a harness as well. You can do this activity in Yapak, Boracay Island.

8. Visiting the Talipapa – The Talipapa is a seafood market in Boracay that sells the freshest catch of the day. If you’re craving for king-sized prawns, crabs, and

lobsters, here is where you’ll find your appetite satiated. After buying from the Talipapa, you can take your purchase to any of the nearby restaurants and have it cooked to your liking.

9. Shopping at D’Mall – The perfect place to shop for souvenirs and just about anything you might need during your vacation. From apparel to small house furnishings, from accessories to handicrafts, you can find them all here.

10. Trekking to Mount Luho – Want to experience something besides Boracay’s waters? Then a walk up Mount Luho is what you can do. It’s about 100 m above sea level, and boasts magnificent scenery of the island from its peak.

See, there are a lot of activities to try and do here. So don’t just stay inside the room of your beach resort in Boracay. Go out, explore, and make the most out of your vacation.
