The price is not very expensive. A boat can seat up to 4 people. The price is quite high. If you bring electronic products, you must bring a waterproof cover. The waves are relatively large."Boracay Island.Boat Station 21.1km from downtown Boracay Island
No.7 of Best Things to Do in PhilippinesHighlights: Sunset sailing is a traditional water sport on Boracay Island. Compared with the hot sun during the day, riding the wind and waves to greet the sunset at dusk is both pleasant, cool and romantic. Driven by the sea breeze, the sailboat is light and agile, sitting or lying on the net pockets on both sides of the sailboat, drifting on the sea and watching the sun slowly descend, the scenery is beautiful.Show Less - 6.14.7/51119 ReviewFree

The beach is however quite crowded, lots of sales people around trying to sell you something. The location is good because it’s close to everything."Boracay Island.Boat Station 31.7km from downtown Boracay IslandNo.2 of Best Things to Do in PhilippinesHighlights: The white sand beach is formed by a large piece of coral ground and stretches smoothly.

There are ticket offices on the beaches of S1 and S3, and free snacks and drinks are provided during the 2+ hour voyage. Food and shopping Jonah's FruitShake & SnackBar located in S1 is a famous juice shop on the island. Be sure to try this mango juice, which is about 95 pesos for a large glass. At the D'Talipapa seafood market in S2, you can choose fresh seafood, and then let the store process it or bring it back to the hotel for processing, but pay attention to the price often fluctuates, the asking price may be too high, and you need to haggle.

I didn’t expect the whale sharks to be so close—it was shocking at first, but I quickly grew fond of their harmless nature. These gentle giants were beautiful and graceful, and interacting with them was surreal. This adventure turned out to be one of the bravest, most unforgettable things I’ve ever done."Oslob11.8km from downtown OslobNo.1 of Best Things to Do in PhilippinesHighlights: • Get up close and personal with gentle giants in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines.• A unique interactive wildlife experience that will surely become a wonderful adventure memory.• Feed the sharks and explore the coral reefs off Cebu’s southern coast.△ Be prepared for close encounters with whale sharks.△ Explore the wonderful underwater world.Show Less - 4.94.6/5174 ReviewFreebased on 452 reviews"Really nice little island with friendly locals.

based on 993 reviews"Called Bulabog (which means disturbance in English), this beach probably called as such because normally, it's the windy side of the island where kite flying and other water sports are done. However, during habagat monsoon (Jun-Sep), sea there shifts to calm, becoming your go-to for swimming. Sand is a bit rocky and water not as clear but it is still a nice place for a dip.Given its location, most also refer to it as the 'back beach' as it is literally a 5- to 10-minute walk from White Beach. You can just go out the main road between Stations 1 and 2. Look for Budget Mart, walk past BPI and when you see a MiniStop to your right, take that road and walk straight ahead."Boracay Island.Bulabog Beach350m from downtown Boracay IslandFeatured in Best Things to DoHighlights: Bulabog Beach is located on the east side of central Boracay, on the opposite side of the white sandy beach. Because there are often suitable wind and waves, it is a paradise for water sports, and almost all kinds of water sports can be seen here. Compared with the white sandy beach, which is full of tourists, it is quieter, especially in the early morning, it is a good place to enjoy the beautiful sunrise. Water sports Kiteboarding, Funboard, Parasailing and other activities are very rich in Bulabao Beach, especially in the rainy season with southwest wind, the water activities in Boracay are transferred from the white sandy beach on the west coast. here. It is also a mecca for surfers, where the annual Boracay International Funboard Cup is held. There are steady onshore winds from November to April, and the waters are shallow enough for pros and novices alike. Other ways to play There is an ancient pond called "Water Forest" at the southern end of Bulabog Beach. You can see the dead mangroves. They have different shapes, dry and twisted, and the scene protruding out of the water is quite an alternative beauty. It has attracted many photographers and adventure enthusiasts to visit.Show Less - 4.84.6/5457 ReviewFreebased on 2830 reviews"it was a very mesmerizing experience to be in puka beach. I'm impressed to see the puka shells woven into bracelets."Boracay Island3.3km from downtown Boracay IslandNo.16 of Best Things to Do in PhilippinesHighlights: Puka Beach, also known as Yapak Beach, is less touristy and has a peaceful seaside atmosphere. It was once famous for its shiny puka shells, beautiful little shells that can be picked up on the beach after the tide goes out. Singer Liang Jingru's wedding photos were taken here, and now couples propose marriage here from time to time. Due to its remote location, access to Puka Beach is also inconvenient, but it also creates a beautiful, quiet and private environment. When you climb over the hills and come here, you can stretch your body and mind and walk with the sea breeze, as if the entire coastline belongs to you, which is extraordinarily wonderful. However, the sand at Puka Beach is rougher than the powdery fine sand of White Beach, and the slope here is not very gentle. Shells at Puka Beach were a popular accessory material in the 1970s and 1980s, but not every season is now available. During the typhoon season, the sand from the sea will flow back to the beach, covering the scattered shells. Come here in the evening, quietly looking for shells and watching the sunset, also don't have a lot of fun. It doesn't matter if you can't pick up a shell, there are small vendors selling shell products on the beach, and there are small bracelets and other accessories made by local residents that can be purchased.Show Less
