2.Sunset Cruise with Water Activities

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 276 reviews · 2 hours · from $16Best value

A practical review of Boracay’s $16 sunset cruise, with kayaking, snorkeling, live music, sunset views, and useful booking tips.

“Great value - meet up at 3;30 by the pier, departure at 4:00, short sail up to around 4:45, and then anchored for sunset and activities (kayak, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc.) until 6:00. Then quick sail back to the pier for a return at 6:30. You can bring your own beverages on board, otherwise they sell beers for 100 pesos. Live music was great, staff is very kind. Overall, a great sunset activity, relaxing and fun. Make sure you book the activity on a day the forecast is great for the sunset ! 🌅”

“I done the tour with guide Ang. I was the only one on the tour so it ended up been a private one. Ang is a fantastic tour guide & a fantastic person! She was super friendly, helpful and informative. She seems to have done a lot of research into the area and had historical pictures on her phone to give more context and history to each site we visited. She had excellent attention to detail, thinking of everything like mosquitos repellent, lights for the bike when it got dark, spare loo roll! The tour itself is a very leisurely cycle and is really cool way to see all of…”

Review Boracay’s 2-hour sunset yacht cruise with snacks, drinks, DJ music, snorkeling, and White Beach views for $40.

“The music on this boat was far too loud - I am a musician and dj and work in the industry. This boat is not aimed at families and I would call it a party boat. Finger food was good but drink system should have been explained. Underwater observatory could see basically nothing which was disappointing. Would I do again? Probably not.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 30 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $35

Sail Bacuit Bay at sunset on a traditional paraw, with limestone cliffs, sea views, wet nets, and a few important safety points to know.

“I’m surprised this trip has so many 5-star reviews. I don’t usually leave negative feedback, but I feel the need to share my honest experience. Firstly, this is a sailboat that relies entirely on the wind to move and stay upright, which didn’t feel very safe.

We sailed miles out from land, and as it got darker, I started to feel quite anxious. No one on my trip was provided a life jacket. If…”
