If you already have a PADI certification, you will only have to pay round Php1,600 for a dive.

A spectacular view while parasailing

Beyond just going beneath the surface, you also need to soar high above the island to experience its splendor. Parasailing will let you do just that. Simply take a ride on a speedboat off of Bulabog Beach and you’ll soon be enjoying the sights of Boracay from a bird’s eye view. Make sure you bring a good camera, as the boat staff are great at taking pictures of “flying tourists.” Depending on how good you are at haggling and how many people will be joining you in the boat ride, the fees can range from Php750 to Php2,500 per person. You can get much lower rates if you travel to Boracay during off season.

Enjoy the Boracay sunset while paraw sailing

Boracay is famous for its splendid sunset. And it’s best experienced while paraw sailing. This activity lets you experience sailing old school. Simply get onboard, and let the wind take you through a relaxing ride while you enjoy the best views of the island.

Paraw is a native outrigger sailboat that has become almost synonymous to Boracay. You’ll find several of these boats dotting the blue waters of the island. Simply walk along the beach and you’ll encounter someone who will offer a ride on the iconic blue-and-white sails. Depending on the number of people who will be joining you on the boat, the fees range from Php1,000 to Php1,500 for each person.

Enjoy a fine Boracay day while paddleboarding

If you’ve always wanted to go surfing but don’t have the skills just yet, you can take baby steps and start with standup paddleboarding first. It’s much easier to maneuver a standup paddle board. Giving it a go will give you the confidence you need to give surfing a try. Plus, it’s so much fun! The shallow and placid waters during a fine day on White Beach make for an ideal place to go standup paddleboarding. Even non-swimmers can enjoy the sport. Board rental can range from Php300 to Php500 per hour, inclusive of lessons. You can book a session at Funboard Center Boracay on Bulabog Beach or at Paddlesurf Boracay at Station 1.

Scream your heart out on a bouncy fly fishing ride

If you’re craving for an exhilarating experience, fly fishing is just the activity for you. You’ll be riding a giant inflatable fish that will be dragged by a speedboat going full throttle. The bouncy ride will have you screaming your heart out. It’s the perfect activity for the squad. Fly fishing is not for the faint-hearted and can give you quite the scare, but you’ll all be laughing your heart out once it’s over. Fees range from Php550 to Php600 per person. You can book a ride at Diamond Watersports located at White Beach Station 1.

Jump off a cliff for the adventure of your lifetime

For a good dose of adrenaline rush, cliff diving is an experience you must not miss while in Boracay. Ariel’s Point alone has five cliff diving platforms, with one site going as high as 13 meters. Some sites go as low as three to seven meters, making them ideal for beginners. Those who’d rather not jump off off a cliff may take a floating dock to reach the waters instead. The fee for each person is Php1,600. This fee goes beyond just the opportunity to go cliff diving. The package includes a round-trip outrigger ride, local snorkeling and environmental fees, full use of services and amenities at Ariel’s Point (kayaks, canoes, floating raft, and snorkeling gear), lunch buffet, and merienda.
