6. Paraw Sailboat Sunset Sailing / Cruise
There’s nothing more beautiful than watching a sun set across the blue and clear waters of a world renowned beach… unless your watching that sun set on a Paraw Sail Boat! A Paraw boat is merely a sailboat with outriggers to keep it from capsizing. It’s also a great place to lay down and relax as you cruise along the waters of Boracay. Although available throughout the day, I highly recommend you rent your Paraw Sailboat during the sunset to get that beautiful sunset views at no additional cost.
Boracay Paraw Sailboat cruise / rental cost: Averages P500 for the entire paraw sailboat per hour. One boat can fit an average of 8 people. You can divide that P500 boat rental among you, so it’s actually very affordable if you go in a group. Or around P100-P150 each.
5. Flying Fish / Banana Boat / Water Sports rides
The Flyfish / Flying Fish ride or any of the fun water rides like the Banana Boat or jet skis are fun adventure rockets that’ll help you satisfy your need for speed. I personally recommend the Flyfish / Flying Fish or the Banana Boat as it’s a lot of fun to have your whole group of friends there, holding on to seemingly dear life, as the speed boat whistles you away real fast.
Boracay Flying Fish / FlyFish cost: around P600 per head
4. Jonahs Fruit Shakes
No one has quite been able to explain why Jonahs Fruit Shakes are so damn good! The most reasonable answer I’ve gotten goes “who cares… they’re just good.” So with that, I propose a toast! To the best damn fruit shakes on the island…. and perhaps… the world! Boracay Jonas Fruit Shakes taste so good, you’ll keep coming back for more. It’s really cool to taste the different flavors and fruit shake mixes. My personal mixed favorites are the Mango-Melon Shake, Mango Avocado Shake, Banana-Choco Shake, Banana-Choco-Peanut Shake…. well….. the list sorta keeps going… you get the point! Be sure to try some Jonahs Shakes when you’re there!
Jonahs Fruit Shakes cost: starting at around P70
3. THE Chori Burger / Street Food
There’s one thing I’m sure of, and one thing I’m not. The thing I’m sure of is that you NEED to have this local favorite in Boracay. It’s the perfect afternoon time snack or 4am after party chow. The Chori Burger is actually a grilled Chorizo, a kind of sausage with sweet sauce, served as a hamburger. It sounds pretty simple, but that;s where that one thing I’m not sure of comes in. See many have tried to bring the charm and yum of the Chori Burger to Manila or other places, but it seems that this Boracay beach staple is best served on as a combo meal… as a combo with the white sands and pure blue waters of Boracay!
Of course, also try out the other yummy Street Food (or should I say “Beach Food”) available.
