Boracay Mountain Biking - Boracay is extremely scenic,
with many challenging and varied routes around the island,
some 25 kilometres long. Most of the routes are on loose
dirt roads and steep climbs up to lookout points that
give spectacular views across clear, blue waters to
the distant islands. Then a steep drop down along single
track paths through thick vegetation and native villages
to another deserted beach. Cycling along these beaches
at low tide is an exhilirating experience and then finally
back through the coconut groves to the main beach. Rides
may end with a long cool swim in the ocean.
Bike rentals are available at USD 2.00 per hour or
USD 12.00 per day. For the serious biker we suggest
that you bring your own bicycle. If it comes as extra
baggage from Manila to Caticlan, the cost is minimal.
For longer two or three day trips the Nigi Nigi boat
will take you to Caticlan on the island of Panay where
the opportunities for adventurous cycling are unlimited.
Boracay Kayaking - The clear, blue waters are ideal
for the novice. The rocky coast line and deserted sandy
beaches can be reached within one half hour paddle.
For the experienced and adventurous kayakers, Boracay
can be circumnavigated in a day (a distance of approximately
20 kms) or neighbouring islands can be easily reached.
Two and three day camping trips down the coast of Panay,
a large neighouring island, can be organized with accommodation
in beach bungalows or camping right on the beach. There
are good quality, challenging rapids for white water
kayaking available only one hour from Caticlan and it
is possible to organize trips that combine kayaking
and mountain biking.
Good quality touring sea kayaks (Puffins) are available
for rent on Boracay at the following rates :
Singles USD 8.00 per hour, USD 30.00 per day
Doubles USD 12.00 per hour, USD 32.00 per day
The best time for white water kayaking is July to November.
Sea kayaking is good all year round although the rainy
season is from July to November and it can be quite
windy.
Boracay Windsurfing - Boracay is one of the best windsurfing
locations in South East Asia. The winds blow fairly
consistently all year but, of course, stronger during
the rainy season. The Boracay Challenge Cup will be
held from 11 to 17 January 1998.
