Being one of the top
Philippine tourist destination and having the country's most-famous white-sand beach, there are still more to-do things
Boracay Island can offer besides being "
just a beach". Boracay Island has been my most-visited beach on my list...

Why? Beside the fact that it is very accessible from my province,
Negros Occidental, there are still something more Boracay have that I haven't experienced yet. As years passed, more and more tourists crowd the island, majority
South Koreans, and more new to-do things to be added on my list.

Manong Danny, and he offers very cheap rates for the various activities above. He's very accommodating, well-organized, and very flexible with the schedule! His first thing in mind is always the safety of his tour group. You may contact him through this mobile number:
+63-909-275-6012.
No doubt, Boracay has a lot to offer aside from the beach and its famous white sand, there are lot of activities to do in Boracay, whether it's water or land activity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kit Cruz! Yes, I agree with you that Boracay Island is definitely more than a beach. It's also a haven and comfort zone for both local and tourists!

Thank for sharing your experience and for the information on what to do in Boracay! This is really a big help for the first timer like me. Included your activities on my itinerary. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHi Marco!
DeleteYou are very much welcome and glad to hear my Boracay posts helped you fix your travel itinerary! There are so many activities you can try in Boracay that are not yet included in my list above so feel free trying those too!
Keep traveling!
Dan
Hello, we are going to boracay this end of January, Is the price is the same as today?
ReplyDeleteHi iyah! Im afraid that the price are higher now since ita peak season.. usually rice drops down at non peak season starting june to november..
DeleteKeep traveling!
Hi Danilo. Great post! My friends and I will be heading over in Feb. Just wanted to ask you if the prices you stated are prices from beach/street vendors or are the prices from Danny? I'm currently planning our itinerary and still deciding if it's better to get these activities from hotels/agents or just head straight to the beach and get it there. Also, since its the peak season, how much more expensive do you think it will be compared to the prices you stated? Thanks Danilo! Happy New Year btw! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thanks for enjoying my Boracay posts.. :)
DeleteWell, I suggest you to approach the tour guides along the beach as they are relatively cheaper than hotel rates (which are normally fixed already). I can't quite say though how much cheaper it is but I believe it should be..
Well you're right because Peak Season in Boracay is from December to May and prices for the activities are usually more expensive by few hundreds.
Where will you stay by the way?
Keep Traveling!
Dan
Hey! Thanks for the quick response.
DeleteWe'll be staying at Luxeview Hotel near Bulabog beach. Unfortunately, we've only got 4 full days to explore Boracay, so we've got to find a way to squeeze in some water sports, island hopping, some land activities and some time to just chill and relax by the beach.
Anyway thanks for the info btw! Do kindly let me know if I should take note of anything in particular or any other tips I may not know of about Boracay.
Cheers!
Try the Flyfish, Parasailing & Island Hopping. Also never miss riding the ATV up the Ocean Tower as the ride is memorable!
DeleteTips? enjoy to the fullest, and party hard too! Station 2 is where most bars are located.
Lastly, suset view at Station 1, and ofcoz beach bumming :)
Keep traveling!
Dan
Thanks a lot Danilo!
DeleteWill fit ur recommendations into the itinerary. Looking forward to my trip!
Cheers!
Hi Dan! I hope you don't mind me putting a link for the latest Watersports Published Rates as provided by the Water Sports Association of Boracay. This is not a complete list, however. One thing that you should do is to bargain for the price of the activities especially if you're in a group.
ReplyDeleteBoracay Watersports Published Rates
Hi Boracay Stories! Please email me instead this updated watersports rates so I can include it in my future write ups..
Deleteemail me at: daniloong@travelandcount.com
Thanks!
Good afternoon sir, does the prices indicated here are still the same as of the moment? thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Ronan, that I am not 100% sure coz rates in Boracay differ every rate and also dependent if peak or non-peak seasons. I went to Bora June 2013 and the rates shown above were based during that time.
DeleteKeep traveling!
Dan :)
is the flying fish safe? i want to try it and the banana boat ride but i can't swim.. i'm a bit nervous i might fall into the water and get drowned hahaha..
ReplyDeleteYes! Both the Flying Fish and Banana boat are safe but I prefer the flying fish more!!! More thrilling and adventurous. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim as you have a lifejacket with you.
DeleteKeep traveling and enjoy your travel plans in Boracay!
Dan :)
my daughter is 6 years old, and we are going to boracay next week.. we are staying at la carmela... what activities can you suggest for our family??
ReplyDeleteHi there! You may try numerous water activites when in Boracay. I suggest the Banana Boat ride and I'm sure your daughter will surely enjoy it! It's adventurous yet safe :)
DeleteKeep traveling!
Dan
Finding these posts really useful as I am just planning to spend my first vacation in Bora. I can easily plan for my itinerary. Since I'm mostly outside of the hotel, can you suggest any hotel that is not too expensive? Looking forward to your response. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi there Pau!
DeleteWell, you may check out Boracay Courtyard for a cheaper room accommodation. Also, there are cheap hotels in Station 3 so you may check it out as well.
Try riding the Flyfish by the way and new the water ride, Bandwagon! :)
Keep traveling!
Dan :)
Hello Dan! Thanks for some recommendations I'll look into it. I love adventures and looking forward to try everything in there.
Deletehi.. the number po ba that you gave is still the same.. number of mang danny??
ReplyDeleteHi Dawnee! I haven't got in touch with Mang Danny recently and I cannot confirm if he is still using the same mobile number. Anyhow, there are a lot of tour packages being offered by boatmen and tour groups along the beach shore.
DeleteYou may use the prices above as reference so you'll be aware.
Keep traveling!
Dan ^^
Hi! We were able to do the some activities at boracay with mang danny last mar 30 to april 2, 2014. We were able to enjoy our stay in boracay because he is nice and easy to talk to. The only problem we had was when he wasn't able to give us the cd and pictures of our helmet diving(we did this on mar 31) before our departure (april 2). We tried to contact him before our departure but he was unreachable. It was too late before we got his text that he will drop the cd and pictures on our accommodation. Sayang.
DeleteHi there! It's good to hear that you truly enjoyed and maximized your Boracay trip c/o Mang Danny! I couldn't agree more with Mang Danny's packages and hope this little move of mine to promote his tour packages will be of big help to him.
DeleteBy the way, if I may ask, what is the current number Mang Danny is using? Perhaps we can post it here so travelers will be updated :)
Looking forward to see some travel pictures from you!!!
Keep Traveling! ^^
Availed his services earlier today, he still uses the number that's posted. Unless he's someone else posiblng as Mang Danny? Idk :/ but yes, he's very accommodating and replies to txt messages promptly :) Thanks for recommending him! :D
ReplyDeleteYou are very much welcome po :) Keep traveling!
DeleteDan^^
I texted him to ask for the activities with prices but Mang Danny just said to me "mahal kasi peak season" and I asked him again if he can give me the list of activities with prices but un pa dn ung sagot niya.. Its like I can't afford to pay those activities. hahahaha. weird!
ReplyDeleteHi there! It seems na parang di kayo ngkaintindihan ni Kuya Danny.. haha Probably pre-ocupied rin xa with tourists at mixed-up na xa with his thoughts.. haha
DeleteNevertheless, mabait xa and very accommodating, though he maybe busy by now coz Holy Week season na.
Keep Traveling!
Dan^^
I also texted mang danny. I asked for the list of activities and prices. he replied, "sa personal nalang" ang snob nya ah.
ReplyDeleteHey there!
DeleteMaybe Kuya Danny just had a lot on his plate that day that's why he prefer to discuss the tours he's offering personally so you can ask as much questions as you want.
Enjoy your Boracay experience!
Keep traveling! ^^,
Just went back from boracay yesterday. ATV price is 700 already. Bigla sila nagtaas depende sa dami ng tao na pumupunta. Rate of parasailing is 1,500 per head pero nakuha lang namin ng 1,250. I recommend Kuya Nino as your guide. He offers cheap rates. Siya lang nagbigay ng 1,250 for Parasailing. yung iba ayaw magpatawad sa 1,500. His number is 09158722855
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thanks a lot for sharing your inputs and travel experiences. Well, rates in Boracay are really dependent on them on the month (either peak or non-peak).
DeleteMang Nino: 09158722855
Keep Traveling! ^^,
I hope we can still get that price since we will be there by next week. I hope rates will go down....
ReplyDeletehi danilo! we' re going to bora next month! we're interested of having helmet diving, parasailing and island hoping. is the price above still the same? where did you get it? it's so much cheaper! thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruby! Price rates for activities in Boracay depend on the peak and off-peak seasons in the island. The rates published on my posts above are based on off-peak offered by our guide Mang Danny.
DeleteYou may freely contact him through his mobile number above to know the latest rates he offer.
Keep Traveling!^^,
hi, do you have Mang Danny email address?
ReplyDeleteHi Danyce, unfortunately i don't have Mang Danny's email address. We only contacted him through his mobile number.. :)
DeleteKeep traveling! ^^,
Wow great list of Boracay Activities. You really gave me ideas on what I should do when I got there.
ReplyDeleteI just got in touch with Mang Danny, as in ngayun lng. Same number. I agree that he prefers to talk about his rates personally. Given that we'll be going to Boracay this September pa, I hope that the rates will go low kasi off peak season. Looking forward to enjoying my first time in Boracay! Thanks for this post ~
ReplyDeleteYou are very much welcome Zane! Hope you enjoyed Mang Danny's list of activities.
