Spend five hours touring Boracay by join-in boat, with stops for swimming, snorkeling, Puka Beach, Crocodile Island, and Crystal Cove. Your English or Tagalog guide, often Jessie or Bam, keeps the day moving. Bring water, a towel, sunscreen, and a waterproof bag. The BBQ lunch is included, but snorkeling costs an extra 100 pesos.
“Jessie was a fantastic guide, full of energy, enthusiasm and fun.”
Spend about five hours sailing around Boracay, stopping for swimming, snorkeling, nearby islands, and Crystal Cove. A buffet of grilled meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit is included. Guides such as Monda, Lyn, and Lynne are known for taking photos and keeping the day organized. Bring cash for the separate snorkeling and Magic Island fees.
“We loved the variety and quality if the locations we visited. We felt safe the whole time. Monda was an excellent tour guide, very attentive and took a bunch of pictures for us. There was a rope that was clutch while snorkeling that we could hold on to that made the experience even better. They really thought of everything. We saw a variety of fish. Jesse, the host/emcee was a riot!!”
Spend 5 to 8 hours with Purple Diaries Travel and Tours on a fast-moving Boracay day: parasailing, Puka Shell Beach, snorkeling, buffet lunch, kawa bath, river swimming, and an ATV ride near Nabaoy River. Guides such as Aira, Lyn, Monda, and Lelian are praised for photos and personal care. Zipline and helmet diving may cost extra.
“We had a terrific day with Aira our guide! The activities were as described and Aira made sure our every need was met. The parasailing was the highlight and we felt completely safe (we were very nervous!). There’s a bit of waiting around but that’s part of travelling. If you get the chance, ask for Aira from Purple Diaries Travel and Tours as she made the difference for us in recommending places and helping us get the most out of the day.”
Take a private Boracay boat with an English or Tagalog guide such as Edgar, Mark, or Camille. Snorkel at Coral Garden and Crocodile Island, visit Puka Beach and Crystal Cove, and enjoy a seafood BBQ lunch. The private format lets your group adjust the pace, though entrance fees and snorkel fins cost extra.
“Everything we expected island hopping, swimming with the fish. Then at the end an amazing buffet of sea food. couldn't of asked for more. You get the most out of the trip if you schedule a private trip. The extra cost was totally worth it. Our guide took photos with my phone and theirs. Only issue we had was we didn't receive the extra photos he took using his phone.”
Spend six hours cruising Boracay’s coast, stopping to swim and snorkel, pose in a transparent kayak, and walk a reef floor in a helmet with certified PADI instructors. The package includes a seafood BBQ, equipment, a guide such as Jessie, and digital photos and videos. Bring water, sunscreen, and P100 for the local swimming fee.
“Overall, worth it! You’ll be spending a lot of time in the sun so bring a hat. If you sweat like me, your sunscreen will come right off…Especially on your face. The different islands were nice. Crystal Cove and Puka Beach have great picture taking places. Puka has the crystal kayaks (Instagram famous) and sand castles on it for good pics. One weird thing…the boat didn’t provide bottled water (not even one in 6 hour tour). Definitely buy your own before you get to the islands…they charge double. Overall, highly recommend”

“The activity and tour was good, the only problem we encountered me and my husband was we left the station very late due to transportation unavailability. Meeting place and time is 8:15am so we arrived 7:45am and we left the station around 9:30 in the morning.”

“Na Łodzi brakowało miejsca do siedzenia, kamizelek.. Łódź była nowa i chyba nie zdążyli w pełni jej wyposażyć. Lunch bardzo ok. Atrakcje przyjemne choć snurkowanie bardzo słabe.. zero przejrzystości wody z uwagi na glony. Mozna by wybrać inne miejsce.”
