All the island hoppers first gathered at the Bulabog beach - the beach at the opposite side of the island from White Beach. The sea was much more calm here.
The island hopping activities were similar in most cases - like the name says 'island hopping'! There was the usual snorkeling activities in the deep blue sea, which always fascinates me. And after the snorkeling, there was the coconuts which came right from a seller from another boat.One different activity however - was to try reef walking for the first time... where we put on the astronout like glass cover, then go down into the sea and then start walking - under the sea! Yes, with fishes swimming around (give them bread & they will come!). That was one unique experience! For a while, you can just imagine it's like in the movie haha!
Time flew (very fast when having fun) and after all the activities, it was time to head to one of the smaller nearby islands for some lunch...
...that came with a fantastic view!
And to top it up, with good home cooked food! (simple yet yummy!)
I don't mind having lunch here everyday...
Anyway, a bit more of this little island... I saw some roosters who the villages said were being trained for cock fights. Ah, the nice feeling of being in a village... :)
And then I had the option to visit this bat cave on the island. A short walk uphill and there was the cave with its stalagmite & stalactite. However, I didn't go in - not so much a cave lover when you have the sea not far away!Anyway by then, it was already early evening and time to head back to the hotel... with beautiful pictures and wonderful memories.
*There's still much more of Philippines to come!
Wow! Reef-walking looks so cool. No picture of the fishes down there?
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures, QC. The sotong soup looks so yummy! Hot and sourish, right? Is that sotong or some exotic food of the island? haha..
Great! Thanks for sharing the experience. Yep, it certainly is nice to go back to village environment after all that concrete jungle life, eh?
Reef walking? That's interesting! have never tried it before.

Nice. Miss the beach...
ReplyDeleteThe pictures gave me a tour, truly Boracay is the best spot for vacation and island hopping. No wonder why tourists like to choose the place, because aside from its white sand, we could also experience cool adventures and have a calming vacation.
ReplyDeleteBoracay Resorts Philippines is full of beauty and magnificent view truly it will give you something to remember and to cherish.
