5 Fun-Filled Ways to Enjoy Boracay Island

Experience it: a summer vacation is never complete without a voyage to the beach, much more if it's not with your friends. And there's no better place to go this season but to the well known tropical destination in the Philippines: Boracay Island. So wrap up your bags and take your bosom buddies with you, as any trip to this amazing place is restricted to be a memorable vacation.

If you think the spectacular breathtaking beach of Boracay are amazing and heavenly, wait until you see its close by environment. An island hopping group tour aboard native outrigger sailboats known as 'paraw' is an excellent way to find some of Boracay's other hidden treasures. Some tours also cover scuba diving and windsurfing places, so don't neglect to pack your gear and take some underwater shots of you and your buddies for some priceless souvenirs.

Another well-known highlight of the island is the Boracay sunset. You can view this majestic scenery from a quiet beach over a couple of drinks, during happy hour at a local bar, or out in the open sea while on a paraw sunset voyage. However which way, there's not an encounter like it.

If your team is the adventurous type, then go on over to the Bat Cave on the northeast coast of Yapak. While there are a variety of local guides to go along with you for a fee, make no mistake -- this hike is not for the faint-hearted. Fooling around won't be necessary as you are sure to have a thrilling time exploring a dangerous, steep hike inside the cave with bats, stones, and even snakes. The satisfaction alone is one you'll be talking about for several weeks.

The latest inclusion to the many activities on the island is the Zorb rides. Run around with the team inside the little pool of water within a huge orb made of transparent plastic. Need I say more?

Of course, it's not a complete vacation without a fun, heart-to-heart, and embarrassing round of Reality or Obstacle. This is where staying at a hotel or resort a little off the beach is an advantage. They are near the refreshing water yet far enough from the party scene, so you're sure to have quite memorable conversations.

You can check out a few Boracay resorts off the beach like Pearl Of ThePacific. These kinds of accommodations offer refreshing accommodations as well as a little more privacy.
