What to Do in Boracay
Start with island hopping
Island hopping is a surefire way to detox from work stress and get you into that vacation mindset! Aside from setting the vibe for the rest of your trip, this is also a perfect opportunity to get your own legendary Bora pics for IG. You won’t regret putting island hopping at the very top of your itineraries!
The hotel you’re staying at can usually assist you with booking island-hopping tours.

Walk along White Beach
White Beach is the main beach and tourist area in Boracay and we recommend spending an afternoon (preferably on your first day) exploring as much of it as you can. Awesome restaurants, bars, and other tourist attractions line the beach, so you’ll see what the island has to offer — which will help you plan out the rest of your stay!
Jump off a cliff!
Take your Bora trip up a notch with the adrenaline-pumping excitement of cliff-jumping! Ariel’s Point is the most popular cliff jumping spot and is perfect for beginners, with diving points starting at 3 meters. (Or if that’s too high for you, Magic Island is an option, too!)

Take on the Boracay bar crawl
Let’s face it, the #1 reason most people flock to Boracay is because of its internationally-famous party scene! Boracay’s bar crawl might be too much to handle for one night (though some brave souls do try), so it might be a good idea to break up your bar crawl over the course of your stay.
Some of the popular bars to put on your bar crawl include: Cocomanga’s Shooters Bar, Club Paraw, Exit Bar, Guilly’s Island, Epic Boracay
What to Eat in Boracay
Chori Burgers – Meryl’s BBQ
A Boracay delicacy, Chori Burgers are burgers made with chorizo (a.k.a. longganisa) patties! These burgers were first made famous by the Meryl’s BBQ brand, but are now served by food stalls all over the island. A unique mix of sweet and savory, this cheap and tasty burger is the perfect after-bar snack!

Oyster Sisig – Two Seasons Boracay
Another Boracay food must-try is the Oyster Sisig from the Two Seasons Hotel! Oysters might not be the first thing you think of when you imagine sisig, but trust us: it works. Just one bite of this rich and creamy dish will change the way you look at sisig forever. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself planning another trip to Boracay just to satisfy your oyster sisig cravings.
