Island Hopping Buruanga, near Boracay

Island Hopping Buruanga Buruanga, Aklan province near Boracay, is Boracay before it became popular. Buruanga trades Boracay's crowds and nightlife for privacy and quiet. If you like isolated beaches, Buruanga is for you.

The landscape includes mountains, green hills, rivers, pristine forests, natural springs, rocky cliffs, and white sand beaches. The seascape includes mangroves and bluish-green water. Under the water you can see whale sharks, sea turtles, and highly-praised corals.

One must-see attraction is the 14-hectare Hacienda Maria. It features caves, waterfalls, and a whirlpool bath. You can jump from the cliff into 3-meter (10-feet) deep water. You can also learn how to make lambanog out of coconut.

Cliff Jumping at Buruanga

Rocky cliffs lie between the mountains and the sea. Jump from natural cliffs at many locations. Notable cliffs are at Ariel's Point and Hacienda Maria.

Look down from platforms as high as 15 meters (50 feet). Deep water makes diving from this height safe. Lifeguards are always present for safety.

Lower heights are available, of course. Ariel's Point also has platforms at 5 meters (15 feet) and 8 meters (25 feet).
