The Experience
Before You Go
Meetup Location & Timing
Arrive 15 minutes early at Tiger Sugar beside Astoria Station 1 beachfront to find your guide in Boracay Adventures red — morning departures give the calmest seas.
Reef Safety
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid standing on corals while snorkeling; guides monitor fragile sections of reef and will point out sensitive areas.
Cliff Jumping Option
Magic Island offers jumps up to 10 meters — only attempt if you’re a strong swimmer and follow the guide’s instructions on entry and exit points.
Hydration & Heat Management
Bring water and a light cover for sun protection; the tropical sun intensifies on open water even during short trips.

Conservation Note
The region enforces reef protection measures and promotes reef-safe products; avoid touching corals and support operators that practice responsible anchoring.
Boracay transformed from a fishing community in Malay, Aklan into an international destination in the late 20th century; local boatmen and families remain integral to island services.
