Boracay Snorkeling: Sunset Cruise with Paddle Boards

Snorkel a reef, paddle out, float at sunset: all in one afternoon on the water.

A 2-hour sunset cruise along Boracay's White Beach includes snorkeling masks, stand-up paddleboards and water tubes. The boat stops at a popular snorkeling site where you choose to snorkel, paddle board, kayak or relax in the water, and wraps up with views of the Boracay sunset. A live English or Filipino-speaking guide assists throughout and helps with photos. The cruise departs from Station 1 (or the back beach during Habagat season) and suits all fitness levels.

The experience

The cruise leaves Station 1 and runs along White Beach for the full 2 hours, stopping at one of Boracay's most popular snorkeling spots. Once you arrive at the reef, the water is yours to explore: snorkeling masks are free to use, and the guide will help you get in and out of the boat. If snorkeling isn't your thing, stand-up paddleboards are there, or you can float in water tubes and hammocks without leaving the water. A mermaid tail is available for photos if that appeals to you.

The guides stay with the group the whole time, ready to assist with gear, answer questions or snap photos while you're in the water. They speak English and Filipino, so communication is straightforward. The boat circles back toward White Beach as the afternoon light shifts, and the final stretch of the cruise is timed to catch the Boracay sunset from the water: the main event of the afternoon.

Snorkeling masks, stand-up paddleboards and water tubes are all included. You bring nothing but a swimsuit and sunscreen. The landing and facility fees are covered. Alcoholic beverages are sold on board if you want a drink during the cruise. Public transportation options are available near the departure point, and the boat accommodates infants (they sit on an adult's lap). The whole outing runs 2 hours from start to finish.
