Boracay: Island Hopping with Crystal Kayak & Helmet Diving

2.Island Hopping with Crystal Kayak & Helmet Diving

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 34 reviews · from $55

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”
