The forest is very jungle-like and tricky to explore. It is home to monkeys, snakes, and giant fruit bats. At the southern end of Boracay White Beach is a very different wooded area. Part of it appears to have been cultivated decades ago with groves of Frangipani and Mango trees beside the path to the coastal area. From the Boracay Beach coast there you overlook Boracay White Beach from south to north. There are several paths leading through unspoiled nature, with birds, butterflies, and delightful flowers.

The Bat Cave

Visit the many caves in Boracay, particularly the Bat Caves. These caves are home to thousands of small cave bats and the giant fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, with wingspans of up to four feet. Naturalists, photographers, spelunkers and brave souls willing to bear the intense stench of the bat cave can hire local guides to lead them through the jungle-paths to the caves. It is better to let the bats sleep during the day and wait for sunset because thousands of bats make their nocturnal flight right over visitors' heads.

Naked Rock

Naked Rock offers a spectacular view of Mindoro Island to the northwest. It can be reached by a short walk from Punta-Bunga Beach.

Mount Luho

It is well known as the highest elevation and most impressive viewpoint on Boracay Island at 100 metres above sea level. It can be an excruciating ascent climbing to the top, but definitely worth the view. The best way is to hike or take a mountain bike up the steep road going north from Bulabog, on the eastern side of the Island. Once up there, a little kiosk serves cold water and soft drinks.
