Activities on Boracay

Activities on Boracay: Boracay plays host to an innumerable list of sports and activities providing everything the traveler could possibly want from a holiday.



Diving in Boracay

The diversity of marine life and corals all around Boracay makes it one of the finest dive locations in the Philippines. There are over 30 dive shops with high quality equipment and good scheduling of dive and instruction. Bel-At Beach provides the best chance to see larger marine life such as turtles and sharks but strong currents make this suitable only for more experienced divers. Yapak 1, considered a better site, is a wall dive site, a few minutes from White Beach.

Shopping

Boracay's markets will take you to a world of new and exotic sights and impressions where you can buy souvenirs, local delicacies and much more. The largest is the Talipapa, a flea market that covers 4,000 square metres between White Beach and the Main Road at the centre of the island. Another shopper's haven is called D'Mall which houses some 100 stores neatly laid out among coconut trees. White Beach also has a number of shops selling everything from beachwear to art and antiques. Many items are sold at unbelievably low prices.

Wellness

Indulge yourself in the perfect pampering of the senses and unwind using one of many skilled masseurs offering massage services by the beach. For more in-depth soul connection or rejuvenating therapies, visit the luxurious spa sanctuaries on the island.
