Boracay sights
Island Hopping & Crystal Cove
The classic Boracay boat day out, circling the island and nearby islets — Crystal Cove with its sea caves, Crocodile and Magic Islands for snorkelling, and a stop at Puka Beach. Often combined with cliff jumping and a beach lunch.
About
Island hopping is Boracay's most popular boat activity, a half- or full-day circuit by outrigger that strings together the small islands and snorkelling spots around the coast. The standard itinerary usually takes in Crystal Cove, a privately run islet with two photogenic sea caves you can climb down into and a small park; Crocodile Island and Magic Island, both known for snorkelling over coral with plenty of fish (Magic Island also has cliff-jumping platforms); and a stop at Puka Shell Beach. Tours typically include snorkelling gear and sometimes a buffet lunch on the boat or a beach, and they can be joined as a group trip or booked privately. It's an easy, scenic way to see Boracay from the water and reach spots you can't get to on foot, and it pairs the island's beaches with a bit of light adventure. Conditions are calmest and clearest outside the windy amihan months.
