Air
Helicopter Ride

Parasailing
Sailing with the wind has never been this exciting. Combining the velocity of the speed boat and the drag of the parachute attached to your back, you’ll be like flying in the air in no time.
Water
Helmet Dive

You’ll just ride a speed boat at its maximum power and the boat will make a 360 degree turn that will mark the end of your boring life. Just hold on very tightly for your survival.
Earth (Land)
ATV and Buggy Cart
You can travel by foot in Boracay. It is only four kilometers long. It is also the best way to go sightseeing if you want to snap a couple of pictures here and there. But another way is to have a bumpy ride via an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) or a buggy cart.
Horseback Riding
This is a chance to stroll on the beach western style! This can be a fun family activity or a romantic escapade with your special someone. For natural effect or background, schedule it while the sun is setting or just about to peek out the horizon.
