Things to do at Boracay - World Best Beach!

 Smithankyou     7/25/2013 08:30:00 AM     boracay, boracayescapade, omy, sponsored post, travel     2 comments   

Without a doubt, Boracay was named 2012 No.1 World’s Best Island, as featured on NBC’s Today Show… Boracay has been named as this year’s world’s best island getaway by an international travel magazine but that doesn't means it's only about lying around on the beach whole day doing nothing or just taking photos. There's more activities than your could imagine!

Acitivity – Banana boat PHP250 per person

A relax but yet fun activity for all. Do not worry that they might swing you around or you might fall into the sea. It's a very enjoyable right where you get to just sit and view the island from beyond the island!

Activity – Helmet diving PHP600

Love fishes and deep blue sea but can't dive or hardly swim? Helmet dive is the activity for you! Simply wear the helmet which is filled with pressure and down you go! To be frank I was a little worried that the water will enter the helmet but all is fine and easy! I even get to feed the fishes some bread and get all the attention! LIKE! 

Activity – Paraw sailing PHP1,000

This is also another one of the more relaxing activity where you get to sit back and relax. No sweat, no adrenaline unless you are a pussy like me. I am paranoid that my camera will drop into the sea cause I am extremely clumsy. Thus most of my pictures that has the sea are "stolen" from others! It's good to travel with bloggers!

Activity – Island hopping PHP750 per person 
Beautiful View at Crystal Cove
The Island hoping tour will bring you around to few of the more popular islands amongst the 7,000+ islands. YES! You read that right - it's 7000+- and why "-"? Because some of the island will be missing "under" the sea when it's high tide! I joke that I will not get married if I'm a Boracay native cause I can have a few GFs at different islands and nobody will know!
The pretty Tsubaki from Ninja Girls! 

Activity – Cliff Diving @ Aerial Point PHP1500 per person
One of the best picture of the trip by Jerome Lim (again) or William Tan.
This is one that got my heart coming out from my mouth. We actually paid money to jump into the sea! There's a choice of 2m, 5m, 8m and 15m. Most of the group did 5m including myself besides Han Joo. The quietly looking girl next door is actually a devil inside. She went for the 8m without any hesitation. I did a 5m and my I actually 问候 everybody's relative after that. The boat didn't manage to stop at this destination due to the waves and we actually had to do a short swim towards and back from the cliff. The swim was really enjoyable actually. The water was so clear and nice to swim in! I was pretty impressed that most of the ladies did it too!

Activity – ATV Ride PHP1000
Han Joo looking all pro! 
Can't ride in Singapore? No problem! A simple to drive vehicle known as the ATV. It was pretty cool for us as we had a convoy of 13 ATVs on the road! It's quite an experience for someone who can't drive like me. I kinda wished that I can have it off-roads into the tracks though. But I guess I wasn't pro enough for that option so we could only ride together.

Activity – Zipline

The anticipation of this activity drove me crazy as I was a little scare but for some reason I was one of the last to do it. I never knew I was that scare of such activities but I guess it comes with age. But when I actually was zooming down the line it wasn't really that scary and pretty enjoyable as you get to see quite a nice view while zooming down the line.(If you could keep you eyes open.)

Activity – Horse Riding PHP1000

One of the few activities that I gave it a pass cause I wanted to give the horse a break and when I say break I mean rest and not break as in breaking it's back. I have no idea how much weight it can take but I do not want to risk it. But apparently the ladies had a good time riding it and taking pictures. So pretty right!

Activity – Segway PHP1000 - 1800

Something that I always wanted to try but was too expensive to try it locally. This was way too fun. I got the hang of it pretty quickly and was zooming around disturbing the rest. I actually asked the owner if we could have some games with it such as polo or hockey sort and he told me nobody was doing it yet. So mark my words, if that game ever happened, I thought of it 1st. HAHA.

Activity - Bus Driving

From the look of everyone else in the bus, you pretty much have guessed it that this is not real. So yeah, no bus driving for anyone.

Activity - Bargaining
Someone is very happy about the discount.
Almost a must practice when buying thing off the street which I suck at. The conversation probably goes like this all the time:

"How much?"
"300 peso."
"Cheaper?"
"Okay, 250."
"2 for 400 peso?"
"Too low."
"2 for 420 peso?"
"Ok lor."
"Eh, you want another piece? I only wanted one actually."

Activity - Taking pictures of others taking pictures - PRICELESS


Si bei siao on shooter.
Most Glamorous shooter.

Chillax Shooter.


When the place is so pretty, those shuttle bugs just wouldn't stop. We were always behind schedule course these people just wouldn't stop shooting!!

Activity - Camwhoring - PRICELESS
Regardless if we have our top on.
out in the sea.
with our guide.
in front of the toilet. 
Having a drink.
With a pretty girl.
or not - 
WE MUST CAMWHORE! 

This is a quick view of some of the things we did at Boracay! You have to see it to believe it! Whatever it is, it's more fun in the Philippines! 

Mr.Smith, lazy blogger is lazy so only quick summary.
