| Island Hopping |
Island hopping is definitely one of the most popular activity in Boracay. In an affordable price rate, you can get a one day tour. On our third day in Boracay, we cruise the sea in a local banca boat for our island hopping. We didn't haggle with the boatmen, because we thought it's only a waste of time. We didn't know what's affordable or expensive anyway.

Our boatmen told us that since there's a monsoon at that time, we would be able to get in Puka Beach. Instead, we sailed to Ilig Iligan Beach. It's located in the northeast side of Boracay Island. There are numerous famous beaches in Boracay Island where you can have a more quiet ambiance of the white sand.
Our options are the beaches
1.Puka Shell - in northern part, where most of the beautiful shells can be found.
2.Bulabog - has a perfect conditions for wind surfing and kiting, especially during November or May of the year.
3.Balabag
4.Diwinid - which is the little hidden beach of Boracay Island.
5.Balinghai - known as the pearl of the pearls at Boracay Island.
6.Ilig Iligan - located in northest side, and very few people find this beach, so it offers a quiet relaxing hide away.
We chose to dock and had lunch in Ilig Iligan Beach. We actually preferred Puka Shell Beach, but the boatmen said that's a monsoon or habagat.
We had a sumptuous lunch and enjoy the small souvenir stalls in the beach. We bought key-chains, customized magnets, and t-shirts for friends and love ones in Dumaguete City. Then, we continued our island hopping.
The area near the crocodile island is the favorite destination for snorkeling and fish-feeding. You wouldn't dare take a fish or else you'll be fined with Php 1500 for each fish you would get.
Wearing a life vest is a must. Life vest and snorkel gadgets are provided for fees anyway, so nothing to worry about.
The next destination is the Crystal Cove cave exploration. The sign board "Welcome to Crystal Cove" would meet you. The entrance fee is Php 200.00 each, which include the unlimited stay and used of the facilities. There are two caves to explore in Crystal Cove.
After the fun-tiring island hopping, we enjoyed the relaxing swimming pool of Le Soleil de Boracay. We toured the island once again and bought some pasalubong. We also enjoyed the fire dancing and night life activities in Boracay once again.
The next day was our last day in Boracay Island. We packed our things, and checked the three stations of the island once again.
We went home, and stopped in Ilo-Ilo City. I'd like to share our fun and memories in Ilo-Ilo City, but I think I have to explore more of the city before I post it here. Thank you for following all my Boracay Island posts.

Uy Boracay. Iba pa rin ang Boracay kahit ano pa sabihin ng ibang tao na kesyo commercialized na or populated. Well, kanya kanya lang yan. Pero nainlove talaga ako sa Boracay. Twice pa lang ako nakakapunta at gusto ko na uling bumalik. Tagal na nung huli. Thanks for sharing this photos, naaalala ko rin nung nag boating kami dyan ng wife ko. :)

Great photos dear! You said you've always wanted to go to Tagaytay but I'd rather go to Boracay. Hehe. I've never actually been there and it's great to see such nice photos of the place and know what you can do there. :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,

I like that they fine you if you fish! I think we're harming the environment enough as it is. And that fruit salad... That had to be so delicious!!:D
ReplyDeleteThumbs up! Ganda naman ng mga shots nyo sa Boracay.. Ganda talaga ng place! Linaw ng tubig..Sarap magbabad.. (especially sa summer)..
ReplyDeleteAnyway, one day i do hope marating ko din yan!!
Just one correction, which I hope you wouldn't mind. There's actually no beach in Boracay called Balabag. You might be referring to the 4 km White Beach, which is the most famous among all the beaches.
