Boracay Island amidst its Controversy

By Chrysty De Guzman - March 11, 2018

Boracay Island is located in the Central Island of the Philippines at approximately 315km south of Manila. Featured to many International Magazine and named again as the World’s Best Island for 2017, Boracay never fails to amaze every tourist and traveler visiting the place amidst the controversy it is facing right now. Just this February, the National Government bows to reserve and restore the beauty of the island. I’d seen the island personally and I must admit, it really needs to be save now before it’s too late. I’ll be looking forward for the Better Boracay in the future but for now let me share the best experiences I and my friends have had on this Island.



Boracay is widely known for it’s crystal blue water and powdery white sand beaches. Home for different water activities like parasailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, jet skiing and diving; nothing beats the warm feeling of welcoming locals in the island. There is helmet diving as well, AVT cars and many more that will surely awakens your thirst to extreme water adventures.

Personally, I really want to recommend Ariels Point. For PHP2500, guest will experience cliff diving, stand up paddling, snorkeling and  kayaking. Accommodating staffs will full your tummy with their mouth savoring buffet lunch and unlimited drinks that will surely give you courage to not miss their 5, 8 and 15 meters cliff dive spot. Ohh and please ready your dancing skill as the party starts and ends inside the Boat. Do not forget to make friends, it’s the secret to enjoy more.




Aside from the water adventure, there are many activities to enjoy. The locals offer hair braiding. Henna tattoo artists are everywhere. Souvenir shops and restaurants are scattered on the area. The place is full of people (especially Korean). It is actually a happy place for every one. It’s like a small world were every races are in and just simply enjoying, relaxing and beating the negative side of the world. The magic of the the turquoise water determines no black and white, and no rich and poor. Boracay escapade will never be complete without meeting foreign and local friends. It is a place to make friends and have fun with every one.


What else to offer you? I won’t miss to share you the lively night of Boracay. I can say that the beauty of this place can be seen at night. Talented locals can be seen performing everywhere. Fire dancing, singing and Artful sand making are among to enjoy while in the open bars. But if you’re the kind who loves dancing more than watching, the dance floor of Summer Place is ready for you. Ohh don’t forget that you have choices where to chill and dance because bars are from end to end.
For my 1 and half days and 2 nights stay in this place, I’m sure I haven’t seen everything yet. It can offer you more and I hope that the FUTURE Boracay will give more life remembering experiences to it’s local and tourist someday.


Have you been in this island as well? Share me your experiences please.
