Things to Do in Boracay: 3-Day Itinerary

Boracay is the kind of island that’s hard to sum up in a single postcard. On one side, you have White Beach with its powder-fine sand, fiery sunsets, and evenings lit by fire dancers and cocktails. On the other, you’ll find quiet stretches of coast, mangrove forests, cliffside views, and local communities who’ve called this island home long before the first beach bar appeared.

In this three-day itinerary, we’ll take you to world-famous beaches and wander into little coves that most visitors miss. You’ll meet members of the Ati community, walk through mangrove boardwalks, snorkel over coral gardens, and end your days with good food and stunning sunsets. 

Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, you’ll discover corners of Boracay you haven’t seen yet.

Day 1

Morning: White Beach

Start your Boracay getaway at its most iconic spot, the White Beach. This four-kilometre stretch of soft, powdery sand and clear blue water is the island’s main playground, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the tropical view. White Beach is divided into three sections: Station 1, home to upscale resorts and the famous Willy’s Rock, a volcanic rock formation with a Virgin Mary statue.

Station 2, the lively centre where you’ll find most restaurants, bars, and Boracay’s open-air shopping area, D’Mall. And Station 3, the most relaxed and budget-friendly part of the beach.

Bulabog Beach

Next, take a quick 10-minute drive to Bulabog Beach, home of the famous Leaning Coconut Tree. Unlike most palm trees that grow upright, this one bends sideways over the sand, making it a fun and iconic photo spot. You can line up to sit or pose on the trunk for a great shot. While you’re here, you can also watch kite surfers in action or enjoy a relaxed walk along the shoreline.

Afternoon: Ati Tribe Village

Visit the Ati Tribe Village to learn about the island’s original inhabitants, the Ati people. After years of displacement due to tourism, the community now lives on a small piece of land in Barangay Manoc-Manoc. A visit here gives you a meaningful look into their history, culture, and daily life.

You’ll also have the chance to meet Ati community members and their children, who are known for their warm hospitality. Some visitors have been treated to a song by residents. If you’d like to help, consider bringing food or school supplies to donate, or support their livelihood by purchasing handmade crafts and organic soaps made in the village.

Lugutan Mangrove Park

Cap off your day with a peaceful stroll through Lugutan Mangrove Park, Boracay’s protected mangrove sanctuary. The wooden boardwalk takes you through the forest, letting you see the island’s natural ecosystem up close. The walk is short (about 15 minutes tops) but rewarding. As you explore, watch for birds, fish, and crabs that thrive in the mangroves.

Day 2

Morning: Puka Beach

Start your second day at Puka Beach, located at the quiet northern tip of Boracay. It’s known for its peaceful vibe and the puka shells mixed into the sand, giving the shoreline a slightly coarser feel than White Beach. With fewer crowds, it’s perfect for a calm morning walk.

If you want to explore farther, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and enjoy the coastline from the water. Just keep in mind that the waves can get rough, so it’s best for inexperienced swimmers to stay near the shore.

Ilig-Iligan Beach

Just an 8-minute drive away, Ilig-Iligan Beach is a quiet, scenic beach, often kept secret by locals and a few tourists (but we’re not gatekeeping it!). Unlike busy White Beach, this spot offers a peaceful atmosphere with fine white sand and calm, turquoise water, especially from December to May.

It’s perfect if you want a slow morning with a book, a picnic, or simply some quiet time by the shore. You can also wander through the small caves and coves on both ends of the beach, or check out the hidden bays along the southern cliffs.

If you want something easy and relaxing, kayaks and paddleboards are available for rent too.

Cujo’s Keyhole

Just a short distance away is Cujo’s Keyhole, a stunning natural rock formation with a small “keyhole” carved through the stone by the ocean over time. From here, you’ll get beautiful views of the sea framed perfectly by the arch. It’s especially magical at sunrise, when the light pours through the opening and creates dramatic photo opportunities. If you enjoy photography (or simply love a scenic, less-crowded viewpoint) this is a must-see stop.

Day 2, Morning - Boracay Tour Map

Afternoon: Lambros Point

Locally called Sinagpa Beach, Lambros Point is a rugged, scenic cliffside known for its rocky shoreline and sweeping ocean views. A concrete walkway connects it directly to Diniwid Beach. The main attraction here is the view. You’ll see calm blue waters, striking rock formations, and a coastline that looks incredible from every angle. It’s a fantastic spot for photos, especially if you love natural, dramatic backdrops. Come in time for sunset, you’ll see the colors over the ocean are some of the most beautiful in Boracay.

Diniwid Beach

From Lambros Point, follow the concrete walkway to Diniwid Beach, where you’ll arrive at a quieter, more private stretch of sand compared to busy White Beach. The water is clear, deeper, and great for swimming or light snorkeling. You can also enjoy cliffside dining along the path leading toward White Beach, where several restaurants are built right into the rocks, perfect for a scenic meal with ocean views.

West Cove Ruins

Just beside Diniwid Beach, you’ll find the West Cove Ruins, the remains of the former West Cove Resort, which was demolished in 2018 after environmental violations. Today, the site has become an unofficial attraction thanks to its coastal views and unique backstory.

You can walk through the abandoned pathways, see the remnants of the old structures, and notice how nature is slowly taking over, with trees and plants growing through the ruins. It’s an interesting stop if you want a mix of scenery and a bit of Boracay’s history.

Day 2, Afternoon - Boracay Tour Map

Day 3

Morning: Crocodile Island

Start your morning with a boat ride to Crocodile Island, a small uninhabited islet famous for its colorful marine life and coral gardens (one of Boracay’s best snorkeling spots). The island gets its name from its crocodile-shaped silhouette, but don’t worry, there are no real crocodiles here.

You won’t dock on the island itself. Instead, your boat will stop at a snorkeling anchor point nearby, where you can jump into clear, turquoise waters and explore the colourful reef below. Expect to see schools of tropical fish, clownfish, and beautiful coral formations.

Crystal Cove

Your next stop is Crystal Cove, a small private island known for its beautiful views, caves, and hidden coves. Formerly called Tiguatian Island, it earned its current name after crystal-like rock formations were found inside its two main coves.

You can explore both coves by following stairs and short tunnels carved into the rocks. Depending on the sea conditions, you may be able to swim or snorkel in the natural pools inside the caves. Around the island, you’ll also find a small seashell museum, an aviary with local birds, and plenty of thatched cabanas where you can rest, enjoy a picnic, or simply enjoy the view from its highest viewpoint at the “Baywatch” tower. 

Afternoon: Secret Cagban Beach

As you return to the mainland, make your way to Secret Cagban Beach, a peaceful spot with far fewer crowds. The beach features striking rock formations and sits near cliffs where old resorts once stood, giving the area a more rugged, untouched feel. It’s a great place for capturing unique photos and a nice contrast to Boracay’s more polished, busy beaches.

The cave sits along a rocky shoreline, so you’ll need to be extra careful when approaching the entrance. It’s best to hire a local guide to help you navigate the terrain safely. Depending on the tide, you may also need a kayak, since parts of the cave are partially submerged. Keep in mind that tidal conditions affect access, during high tide, the cave can become unreachable.

Best Time to Visit Boracay

The best time to visit Boracay depends on what kind of trip you want.

If you prefer good weather without the heavy crowds, the shoulder season from May to November is your sweet spot. May still has clear, calm water as it marks the end of the dry season, and crowds start to thin after summer. November brings the start of dry, pleasant weather and a more peaceful vibe before the holiday rush.

If you don’t mind busier beaches, the peak season from December to May offers the classic Boracay experience: sunny skies, calm seas, and ideal conditions for swimming and water activities. This period also includes major holidays and festivals like Christmas, New Year, and the Ati-Atihan Festival in January.

Take note that February to May is algae season, when some parts of White Beach develop green algae near the shore. It’s still safe to swim, but the water may look less pristine. If you prefer clearer waters, visit quieter spots like Puka Beach or beaches inside exclusive resorts, which are usually unaffected. 

Festivals in Boracay

• Ati-Atihan Festival: Held every January in Kalibo, Aklan, the Ati-Atihan Festival also has a smaller but lively celebration in Boracay. Instead of Kalibo’s massive street parades, Boracay’s version brings the festivities to White Beach, where you can enjoy energetic dance processions with a relaxed island vibe. Here, you’ll see performers (including members of the Ati tribe) dressed in colorful costumes, soot-painted skin, and traditional festive attire. Expect rhythmic drumbeats, lively dancing, and a joyful atmosphere that fills the beachfront. 

The festival honors the Santo Niño (Infant Jesus) and celebrates the rich history and culture of the indigenous Ati people. While the Boracay celebration is more intimate, it remains a meaningful cultural experience and a beautiful way to connect with the island’s heritage.

• Boracay White Beach Festival: Held every October, this week-long festival marks the start of Boracay’s high season and fills the island with sports, culture, and community events with a focus on sustainability. One of the main highlights is the sandcastle-making contest, where members of the Boracay Sandcastle Makers Association create impressive sculptures along White Beach. It’s a great chance for you to watch artists at work and see the beach transformed into an open-air gallery. Throughout the week, you can also catch various sports competitions, which bring a lively, energetic vibe to the island, as well as cultural performances that showcase local art and traditions. If you plan to visit in October be sure not to miss this one-of-a-kind festival.

• Love Boracay Festival: Held every year from late April to early May, Love Boracay is the island’s revamped version of the old "Laboracay" party. It was created after past celebrations drew huge crowds that often left the island trashed. Today, the festival focuses on sustainability, community, and responsible tourism. The heart of the festival is its commitment to protecting the island. You’re encouraged to join “Project Pristine” clean-up drives, sit in on educational talks, or take part in sustainability workshops run by local groups and businesses. It’s a meaningful way to give back while enjoying your holiday. If you’re into sports, the festival also hosts dragon boat races, beach sports, and even a fun run.

Love, Boracay
