7 Exciting Inland Activities in Boracay



Getting the adrenaline rush expected of an exemplary tropical island holiday requires you to get out of your accommodation in Boracay, but it doesn't mean you have to head straight to the beach or sea. These days, you can find excitement outside banana boat rides, expensive diving sessions, and snorkeling tours. Many Boracay resorts, including as Villa Caemilla Beach Boutique Hotel, offer thrilling inland activities at a reasonable price.

1. Zorb and zipline
Go up the mountain on a Zorb ball, then enjoy an express ride from Mt. Luho down to the white, sandy beach with the zipline. The cable facility is elevated 24.3 m above sea level and measures about 300 m long. Take a camera with you because the 30-second ride offers an unobstructed view of Boracay's mountain, forest, and sea.

2. ATV and buggy ride
Aside from the Zorb ball, you can also go up Mt. Luho by trekking or riding a bike. If the prospect of sweating your way up the mountain doesn't appeal to you, you can try taking an ATV or buggy. An ATV unit can be rented for PHP 1,250, while buggy rentals cost PHP 1,900 per unit.

4. Helicopter ride
What's the best way to tour the 10+ km tropical island in style? Why, with a 10-minute helicopter ride, of course! See white-sand beaches, lively communities, colorful reefs peeking through the blue-green sea, and many more from a bird's eyeview. The tour costs PHP 4,500 per person, with each helicopter ride requiring a minimum of 3 passengers. If you want to go beyond Boracay Island, the tour has a VIP package that will take you over Carabao Island and Crocodile Island. The VIP package costs PHP 8,500 per person and each tour session admits only 2 to 3 guests.

5. Segway tours
Another way to get off the beaten track is by renting a Segway, a battery-powered 2-wheel vehicle. A 30-minute ride costs PHP 800.

6. Go-kart
Fulfill your dream of becoming a racecar driver during your Boracay vacation. The island has a go-kart racing facility, where you can rent a vehicle for PHP 800 every 15 minutes.

7. Land tour
This 2-hour guided trip will take you to the island's most remarkable spots, such as Boracay Wildlife Expo and Puka Beach for a sunset dinner. If you're planning to join this tour, you better find friends from your accommodation in Boracay since having more tour members means more people with which to share the tour fee.
