The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

ATVs kick up mud and the zipline platform has metal fixtures — sturdy closed-toe shoes are required for safety and grip.

Protect electronics

Bring a small waterproof bag or action camera mount; phones are vulnerable during the ATV section and near salt spray.

Hydrate before departure

The combination of sun exposure and physical focus can dehydrate you; drink water before pickup and carry a bottle in your pack.

Book early morning slots

Mornings are cooler with calmer seas for the speedboat transfer and crisper light for photos and visibility on the trails.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Mount Luho viewpoint for a panoramic sweep of White Beach and the channel
  • Puka Shell Beach — quieter shoreline with local shell vendors and fewer crowds

Wildlife

  • Monitor lizards (occasionally seen on trails)
  • Kingfishers and egrets near mangroves

Conservation Note

Operators now follow stricter waste and shoreline guidelines since the island’s rehabilitation; visitors are encouraged to minimize single-use plastics and respect marked trails to protect mangroves.

Boracay transformed from a low-key island destination into a major tourism spot in recent decades, then underwent a government-led rehabilitation in 2018 to restore coastal ecosystems and manage visitor impact.

Common Questions

How long is the zipline run?

The main zipline descent is roughly 150–250 meters from a platform about 80–120 meters above sea level, providing a sustained ride and views of the coast.

Do I need previous ATV experience?

No — instructors provide a short training session and the route is designed for beginners, though basic coordination and caution are required.

Is transportation included from Boracay hotels?

Yes — the tour includes hotel pickup on Boracay and a return speedboat transfer as listed in the inclusions.

Are there weight or age limits?

Operators typically set age and weight guidelines for safety; check at booking but most guests aged 12+ and within standard weight limits can participate.

What happens in bad weather?

The operator cancels in unsafe weather conditions; the listing indicates trips may be canceled for weather and all sales are final in the supplier’s policy.

Can I bring a camera on the zipline?

Many guests use secured action cameras or wrist-mounted devices; phones should be stored in a waterproof bag unless you have a secure mount approved by staff.
