Even though Boracay has been criticized for being overcrowded
and being highly commercialized, I will never get tired of going back to this
wonderful Island. I have been to a lot of beaches in the Philippines,
Asia and Europe. I am very proud to say that Boracay still has the finest
white Sand and most beautiful beach in the World. I am very proud that it's
located in my country.
Sometimes I am quite thankful of Boracay’s highly commercialism because of that you get to have more choices of hotels, hostels, restaurants to choose from. There are also more available flights going to and from Kalibo and Caticlan that also offer so many promo fares. So I decided to create my top 7 Things Must Things to do when you’re in Boracay that every traveler must consider when going to this wonderful island.

1. Swimming and Sunbathing at the White Sand
Beach
Boracay
is famous for its 5 Kilometer long stretch of fine and powdery white sand. By
day you can go swimming, sunbathing, and unwind at the beach and by night
the island becomes a party zone . It’s one of the only beaches where I just
want to walk around with my bare feet because there are no seaweed and rocky
particles at the beach. It’s like walking along baby powder That's the
thing that I love about Boracay, it's like you’re in paradise.
Tips: Try Swimming in Station 1 near Discovery Shores since the beach is cleaner and there are fewer people roaming around this area.

beaches and coral reefs outside Boracay. This adventure will take you up

5. Paraw Sunset Sailing
Watersports
in Boracay are quite expensive. Some of these watersports like Para Sailing and
Banana boat are not worth it because once you have tried it you will
not do it anymore.
The
only thing that I suggest is Paraw Sailing which is truly worth your
money. Since you get to chill around while sailing and see Boracay’s Sunset
6. Authentic Filipino Massage

This
is a must especially for people who just want to relax. This is the perfect way
to end the day, especially for people who travelled from Manila to Boracay. You
will get to relax and unwind while having a nice view of the sea.
Massage Therapists are located all over Boracay. You can go to their place; or get a massage by the beach or hire them to go to your room. Remember to give a nice tip :p

7. Getting a Henna Tattoo
This
is a trademark for everyone who goes to Boracay. Henna, is a non-permanent
tattoo placed in one’s body. It may last from 1 to 2 weeks. You can choose
different types of drawings to be placed in your body. Just be careful, some
people have an allergic reaction to the ink, so you should not scratch it when
it becomes itchy or else it will have an irritation. Tourists
usually place their henna at back or their shoulders, or hips, or even arms;
it’s up to you where you put it. Remember to have fun in picking
designs.
8. Drinks at Solana Bar, Shangrila Boracay
Experience one of the best sunsets in your life while
drinking Sangria with your girlfriends at the Solana Bar, Shangrila, Boracay.
You don't have to check-in here anyone can go and have drinks at this bar. You
can also have an access to enter in some parts of the resort. A pitcher of
Sangria will only cost you P950 which is good for 4 to 5 persons. They will
also give you complimentary appetizers for you and your barkada.
Price:
P400 per head
9 Chilling at Spider House Resort
This resort will make you think that you're not in Boracay. This place
is tourists free. You can just chill, listen to good music and drink cold beer
with your group of friends while looking at Boracay Sunset. Prices of food and
rooms can be quite expensive here. If you want to just chill here then
fine, but transportation from this resort to D'Mall can be quite expensive. If
you just want get away from the tourists of Boracay, then this might be the
perfect place for you. But if you’re the type of person who wants convenience
then, you can just take a day trip or lunch at this place. '
Price: 400 Per Person
