Exploring Boracay

Beaches:

White Beach

Often acclaimed to be one of the most picturesque beaches in the entire world, White Beach can be found on the island's western coast. This is certainly the busiest of all Boracay's beaches and those looking for a luxurious Boracay resort will have plenty to choose from. Many people get up early to enjoy an ambiance morning strolls, while this is also a popular place for activities such as jogging, snorkelling, scuba diving and swimming.

Puka Beach

A great place to relax and unwind, Puka Beach is blessed with white sand and azure water. Locals gather here to gather the small puka shells that are washed up here, and it is from these that the beach takes its unusual name. Those who are looking for a Boracay hotel will find a good selection to choose from here, many of which come complete with restaurants and spas.

Balinghai Beach

Famed as one of the most pictorial tropical island settings in the whole of the Philippines, Balinghai Beach can be reached by taking a wooden outrigger sailboat from the nearby shore of White Beach. Those who crave peace and quiet rather than the party atmosphere that infuses most of Boracay's beaches will feel right at home here, while fresh seafood and a range of other dishes are provided by the excellent restaurants that line the beach.

Natural Attractions:

Mount Luho

Climbing to the top of Mount Luho is a great way to get a feel for the true beauty of Boracay. This mighty mountain stands at around 100 metres above sea level and those who manage to make it to the summit will be provided with a panoramic view of the entire island and its surrounding. A steep winding road leads the way to the top of Mount Luho from Bolabog Beach, and the journey takes around an hour each way.

Butterfly Garden

A great place to take the children, the Butterfly Garden is situated just a short stroll away from the beautiful Bulabog Beach. The people at the Butterfly Garden have been granted a permit to breed butterflies here and a large collection of these colourful insects can be seen fluttering amongst the garden's rare trees and plants.

The Bat Caves

Home to a large collection of fruit bats, the Bat Caves are one of Boracay's most exciting natural attractions. While it is possible to travel here alone, the cave is located on the western side of the island visitors must travel here by taking a short trek through the forest, which can be difficult for first time visitors. However, those who managed to make it here will be greeted by the sight of magnificent stalagmites and stalactites, which glitter in the torchlight.

The Dead Forest

Believed by local people to be inhabited by supernatural beings, the Dead Forest is the setting for a large number of ghost stories. The trees here were killed by saltwater when the dam burst and flooded the area, and the forest certainly has a spooky look to it. Those who dare to venture into the Dead Forest can follow a path from Bulabog Beach.
