4.Island Hopping with Crystal Kayak & Helmet Diving

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 34 reviews · from $55

Spend six hours touring Boracay by traditional boat, with beach and snorkeling stops, a seafood BBQ, a 10 to 15-minute crystal kayak photo session, and a 20-minute helmet walk on the reef. English and Tagalog guides, including the energetic Jessie, lead the day. Bring water, sunscreen, and a towel.

“Overall, worth it! You’ll be spending a lot of time in the sun so bring a hat. If you sweat like me, your sunscreen will come right off…Especially on your face. The different islands were nice. Crystal Cove and Puka Beach have great picture taking places. Puka has the crystal kayaks (Instagram famous) and sand castles on it for good pics. One weird thing…the boat didn’t provide bottled water (not even one in 6 hour tour). Definitely buy your own before you get to the islands…they charge double. Overall, highly recommend”
