Half-Day Private Tour to Puka Beach & Boracay Highlights

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Puka Beach and the Mt. Luho overlook offer almost no shade; use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect your skin and local reefs.
Wear water shoes
Rocky tide pools at Puka and Ilig‑Iligan can be sharp — water shoes protect feet while allowing easy beach walking.
Carry small cash
Some vendors and beachside stalls accept only cash for snacks, drinks, or quick souvenirs.
Time your visit
Midday is hottest and busiest; choose early morning or late afternoon for softer light and cooler conditions.

Conservation Note
The island enforces stricter waste, sewage, and development rules since the rehabilitation; visitors are encouraged to use reef‑safe products and limit single‑use plastics.
Puka earned its modern name from the puka shells that accumulate on its shore; Boracay itself grew from a fishing island into a global resort, then underwent a major rehabilitation in 2018 to manage tourism impacts.
