The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early for Calmer Winds

Morning slots typically have lighter winds and softer light for photos; afternoons can be gusty and occasionally delayed.

Secure Loose Items

Use straps for cameras and phones or purchase operator photos — loose items can be hazardous at speed.

Know the Health Restrictions

Not recommended for pregnant guests or those with spinal or heart conditions — disclose medical issues at booking.

Wear Closed-Toe Shoes

Sneakers or sport sandals make launching and landing safer and more comfortable than flip-flops.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides about nearby cliff viewpoints on the north end for quiet sunrise looks
  • Explore local snacks at Bulabog’s beachfront stalls after your ride— try fresh fruit shakes and grilled seafood

Wildlife

  • White-tailed tropicbirds occasionally glide offshore
  • Small lizards and local songbirds in the scrub and launch platforms

Conservation Note

Operators work under island-wide measures to limit environmental impact; visitors should follow leave-no-trace etiquette and avoid single-use plastics.

Boracay was a modest fishing community until tourism expanded in the 1990s and early 2000s; recent regulatory changes have rebalanced visitor numbers and environmental management.

Photographer's Notes
