Philippines Travel: 3-day Boracay itineraries

One of the most popular beach destinations in the Philippines, Boracay Island is famous for its fine white sands and lush tropic scenery. Tourists from all over the world have found solace in this tiny piece of paradise, making it a place people come back to again and again. Below are the perfect 3-day Boracay itineraries for your next trip.

Swim like a mermaid

It is only on Boracay Island where you will actually get to fulfill your dreams of becoming a mermaid. Let the Philippine Mermaid Swimming Academy teach you the basics, complete with a glittering fish-tailed outfit. Be warned that it is a bit of a workout as it teaches swimming techniques that involve a lot of core movement and upper body strength. If that is something you are not ready to try yet, you can simply have your picture taken on the shore while wearing your favorite mermaid tail.

Dare to jump off a cliff at Ariel’s Point

A 45-minute ride from Boracay Island, Ariel’s Point is an unspoilt eco-adventure paradise, it is even recognised as one of the world’s best cliff diving destinations! Apart from cliff diving, Ariel’s Point also offers other activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkelling. A day tour package gets you a boat cruise, BBQ buffet lunch, unlimited drinks, and island activities, plus a whole new set of friends!

Take the reverse bungee ride

Challenge yourself by taking the G-Max reverse bungee experience on Boracay. Originally from New Zealand, this thrilling ride is the first attraction of its kind in the country. Experience what it feels like to be shot up into the sky as the capsule reaches up to 60 feet above. While the entire ride only takes less than 10 minutes, this adrenaline-pumping activity will definitely be one of the main highlights of your trip.

Go parasailing and get a bird’s-eye view of Boracay

How about getting a bird’s-eye view of Boracay? Hopefully, you are not afraid of heights like I am! But if you are, I still recommend that you try it out, the view is worth it! You are usually given around 30 minutes to stay up in the air, but feel free to have them bring you back down when you are satisfied.

Visit Puka Shell Beach

Located on the north of the island, Puka Shell beach offers something that the other popular beaches do not, privacy. Maybe it is because this beach does not have bright white sand or maybe it is because this beach does not offer enough food and drinks- but Puka Shell beach sees far less tourists than White Beach.

You will not find more than a couple guesthouses and cabanas for lounging on Puka Shell Beach. Play in the sand to discover shells and crabs, have a long walk, or take a quiet swim and enjoy the moment.

Witness the sunset on the island

Do not leave Boracay without seeing its picture-perfect sunset view. Apart from the spectacular sunset view seen along Manila Bay, Boracay is another top location in the Philippines where you can catch sight of a stunning sunset. Head over to Diniwid Beach to watch the sun dip below the waves from an elevated point or go to Manoc-Manoc Beach for a gorgeous backdrop of Caticlan’s mountain ranges. The most popular view is in White Beach, where you will get a silhouette of boats and people amongst the waves.

Get a henna tattoo

As you walk around Boracay, you might notice a lot of people sporting tattoos. Chances are, most of them are actually henna tattoos. They are great practice for the real deal, or just cool “accessories” to flaunt when you are in your beach wear! Just ask around, and any local will be able to point your way to one of the talented henna tattoo artists around the island. You can trust them to bring almost any of your most interesting tattoo ideas to life!
