Banana-Boat Riding
The entertaining banana-boat rides are very popular. Banana-boats in various sizes, ranging from three to 10 people per ride are available. Sport shops offering rides display their banana-floaters at the beach and are easy to find.
Mountain Biking & Hiking
Exploring the island with mountain bikes and by foot is not only healthy, but one will also encounter remote places and special scenery. Paths are crisscrossing the whole island. Mountain bikes can be rented almost everywhere along the White Beach and at many other places.
Motorbiking
Motorbikes can be rented at several places. We recommend renting them at the office of the Motorbike Association over the front desk of your resort. The hilly Southern and Northern parts of the island are ideal for motor biking. Please don't motorbike along the beaches - law prohibits it.
Wall Climbing
Boracay Island has the only 40-feet (~13 meters) professional climbing-wall outside Manila.
While sunbathing and strolling along the beaches are the most popular activities on Boracay Island, there is much more to do: Sailing 'Paraws', outrigger sailing boats, are for rent at many places along the White Beach, with or without a sailor, depending on your sailing skills. Prices range around 300 Peso an hour. For people who like speeding in the wind, hobie-cats are the ideal sailing outfit.
Snorkeling & Beach Hopping
Trips around the island often include snorkeling stopovers at different beaches or coves and drinks and lunch. In the monsoon season it's sometimes not possible to circle the island, but the West- and East coasts of Boracay provide enough coves, beaches, snorkeling grounds and scenic views for a couple of exciting hours. Boat trips can be arranged by the front desk of the resorts or at one of the three boat-stations.
Wellness & Workout
At a state-of-the-art gym fitness freaks can work out after jogging along the White Beach; wellness, pampering and soul connection is the motto of a new health day spa.
Internet Cafes
Many Internet cafes of various sizes, with air-conditioning or inside a palm leaf hut, offer their services.
Windsurfing and Kiteboarding
A few places along the White Beach offer windsurfing and kiteboarding equipment and lessons. The main beach though for Windsurfers is Bulabug beach with many places offering equipment for rent and also lessons. The best time for windsurfing is between December and February, when the Northeast monsoon blows. Every year windsurf freaks can participate at the Boracay International Fun Board Cup, a Leg of the Asian Windsurfing Tour.
Beach Volleyball & Beach Football
Many places along the White Beach put up volleyball nets during daytime. Mornings and especially later in the afternoon people gather spontaneously and play for fun or challenging games. Beach Football is also played spontaneously along the White Beach, culminating in two yearly championship events, where tourist-teams play against teams from the Philippines, USA and Hong Kong.
Tennis, Golf & Horse-Back Riding
There are three tennis courts on the island, a 19 hole world-class golf course and a horse stable for island-excursions by horse.
