Whenever someone thinks of visiting the
Philippines, the first destination that most likely comes to mind is the
infamous Boracay. Why not when there are
lots of tour packages to Boracay from Singapore? Boracay has retained its
fame as one of the top island destinations in Asia despite of the growing
popularity of other islands in the country.
Boracay is widely known for its dreamy, magnificent and world-renowned
white sand beaches.
With its white powder sand beaches and
beautiful emerald blue waters, it’s given that you can indulge in typical water
activities like swimming and snorkelling. If you are looking for more fun and
exciting activities to do in Boracay, here is a list of exhilarating things to
do in this awe-inspiring island.
Helmet
Diving
Have you heard of helmet diving? This
activity gives non-certified scuba divers a chance to promenade the marvellous
ocean floor and see what lies underneath the crystal water. In this activity,
you will descend about 10-feet below the water surface and stand on the seabed.
A helmet will be placed over your head wherein the air is pumped to allow you
to breathe normally under the water. You will be provided with some bread to
feed the fishes. So, even if you are not a licensed diver, you can still come
in contact with live fishes through helmet diving.
Cliff
Diving
Are you up for super thrilling adventure?
The cliff diving will surely get your adrenaline rush pumping! Thrill seekers
should consider this extreme sport in Boracay, specifically at Ariel’s Point,
which is a popular cliff diving spot on the island. Cliff diving involves a
slight risk of danger, susceptible to weather and tide conditions. However, if
you want to experience this nerve-wracking adventure, you should be ready to
jump over 13 to 15 metres above the water cliff. There are also lower platforms like 7 metres,
6 metres, 5 metres and 3 metres high.
ATV
Ride
Want to see the exotic beauty of Boracay
from higher area? The ATV ride is a fun land-based activity to try wherein you
can explore Boracay in a swanky way. You will be driving a motor vehicle
without needing a license. Most of the ATV trips go to Mt. Luho which is the
highest peak in Boracay, so you can have an aerial-like view of it as a whole.
Operating the ATV is easy, you just need to switch on the engine then control
the accelerator and brake. There isn’t much skills required but you need to
focus on keeping your vehicle at the centre lane. Helmets are provided for
safety measures. If you want to experience this activity, check with the agency
of your Boracay from Singapore
package.
Paraw
Sailing
One of the most relaxing activities in Boracay
is the Paraw Sailing. Basically, paraw is a sailboat with two outriggers to
keep it afloat on sea and sturdy nets extending from both sides that serve as
hammocks. You can sit or lie down on the nets and enjoy the cool sea breeze
while your legs dangle above the water. It is a great way to enjoy the waves
and magnificent view of Boracay. For the most memorable view, you should try
this during sunset.
Fly Fish Ride
Another must-try activity in Boracay is
the Fly Fish ride. It is perfect for a wild wet ride with friends! In this activity, you will be riding a huge
inflatable that looks like a “flying fish” and it will be pulled by a speedboat
at a fast speed. The ultimate goal is to
hang on and stay on the inflatable as the speedboat tries to spin you around at
the sea. But being thrown out off the
“fly fish” is part of the fun, so you can let yourself thrown out.
Aside from these activities, there are
various fun things you should try when you visit the island. A travel package to Boracay from Singapore is worth it with all these activities that
can create lasting memories.
