Ariel’s Point at Buruanga on nearby Panay Island, is about half an hour’s boat ride
from Baracay. This isolated spot is
famous for cliff jumping, paddling around in a boat, swimming and snorkelling
as well as exploring the surrounding area. And great food and drinks too.
Ariel’s
Point is a must do if you have no health issues (think short bungee jumping
without the bungee). The highest of the
5 jump points is 45 feet from the sea. And
the deep waters will take you in nicely.
A must do to add onto your to do life list, next to marathon running perhaps. And
an awesome tale to share back home!

Boracay
is a little island in the Visayas, just south of Manila in the Philippines. Boracay's azure waters, beautiful sun drenched white
sandy beaches and its host of activities from partying, sunbathing and swimming to
kiteboarding, parasailing, windsurfing and diving, will fully occupy even the
most active person. It’s also a great
base camp to hop off for water and jungle adventures at nearby islands and
lagoons. And Boracay is one of top beach destinations in the world.
You
land at Caticlan Airport (small aircraft) or at Kalibo Interantional, both on
the nearby Panay Island. Then you’ll hop onto one of the boats at Caticlan
jetty to get into Cagban on Boracay proper. And on Baracay, you will be spoiled
for choice for accommodation.
There
is the White Beach stretch which is subdivided into 3 stations. Station 1 is upscale,
Station 2 the most happening and Station 3 for the reflective mind. On the northen end of Boracay, Puka Beach
sits isolated and is postcard perfect.
Bulabog Beach is the water sports beach on the opposite side of the
island from White Beach.
For
the adventurous, you can sign up for outrigger cruises to Angel’s Point on
Panay to go cliff diving, boat paddling and jungle trekking on the Antiqe coast. Or just take the many outrigger round island
cruises for stopovers at the isolated and quiet beach spots on Boracay. And while in Baracay, do try out the skimboarding!
