One of the normal activities that you were probably deprived of during the lockdown was driving around the city. If you’re itching to be behind the wheels again during the remaining days of summer, then driving an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) should be on your Boracay activities list. This is your chance to explore the rugged terrains of the island aside from its beaches. A little thrill is sure, especially when you encounter rocky and muddy paths. Get ready to get wild and dirty--with mud! Most of all, enjoy.

7. Cliff diving

Those who have experienced it would say that one of the top things one must do in Boracay is cliff diving. While it can certainly be nerve-wracking to jump from cliffs that range from three to 15 meters high both in Magic Island Boracay and Ariel’s Point, it’s not too bad to be able to experience it at least once in your lifetime. After all, this is one of the best opportunities to release all your stress, fears, and worries caused by the novel coronavirus.
