Fun Things To Do in Boracay

Boracay Island Activities

Listed below are some fun activities in Boracay Island, Philippines:

A. Fly Fish Ride – one of the thrilling water activities in Boracay where one will hold and ride to an inflatable fish as the speed boat speed up and fly you up in the air. Wearing life jacket is mandatory. The activity is literally an adrenaline rush challenge for people seeking adventures like this, separating your soul from the body in a brief moment. Woah!

B. Parasailing – a sport activity where one wears a parachute and heaved behind a motorboat, sailing through the air. Tried this! ‘Exciting panoramic view from top, overlooking the neighboring islands. I also love how the wind sways the parachute, swinging us slowly side to side. Capture this kind of experience 150 degrees by using your sport cameras or gopros. You may use ordinary shutters but I doubt you’ll bring it there for fear of dropping it to the water, well unless it is securely tied to you. 

C. Helmet Diving – fish interaction with the use of helmet attached to an oxygen tank, enabling you to breath underwater. Who wouldn’t love the beautiful creatures down there? Befriend these various multi-coloured fishes underneath and interact with them closely by feeding them.

This one is a must try! You’ll surely enjoy seeing various kinds of fish creatures down at 15 feet below and walk on the ocean floor feeling like you’re an astronaut walk-hopping on the moon. By the way, do not forget to take pictures of you with the tropical fishes for souvenir and documentation, ok?

D. Banana Boat Ride – riding in an inflatable banana boat with a group while being pulled by a speedboat. If you’re afraid of riding an inflatable boat that launches you up in the air, this could be your alternative option. Still a rousing experience and surely you and your family and friends will enjoy the ride. Take some videos to capture everyone’s reaction while riding the banana boat. I know you’ll all be laughing about everyone’s faces right after.

E. Jet Ski – A small motor-powered recreational watercraft. Love riding a motorbike? How about trying one like this on the water? You may explore the island by riding this motorized vessel with other jet ski riders. Riding on the water is surely a different adventure than on land. Playing with the waves is somewhat thrilling but an exciting experience. Try it!

F. Scuba Diving – underwater diving with the use of an apparatus that utilizes a portable supply of compressed gas provided at a controlled pressure. The instrument is used for breathing and swimming underneath. This, for me, was the expensive water activity in Boracay. For diving enthusiasts, one must set aside some budget to avail this package. Scuba diving, however, is still worth a buck. You’ll see varieties of aquatic species and witness the abundant sea life at the bottom. Beforehand, diving lessons are offered primarily before plunging into bottom and strict regulations are observed for the diver’s safety.

G. Paddle Board – paddle boarders stand on their boards using a flattened blade to drive them through the water. Unlike from kayak where a rider will just sit and paddle, this on the other hand lets you propel yourself through the water by standing up, holding one hand on top and the other on the center of the shaft. Always starts at calm waters and remember to keep the blade direction opposite from you.

F. Paraw Sailing – sailing through the sea in a boat with two (2) outriggers or katig. This is so perfect during sundown. Anyone for sure will love to have a portrait at the boat with the lovely sunset as photo background. Like to try? So perfect for couples out there!
