WHERE TO EAT
D’ Talipapa
For those people who wish to satiate their hunger for
seafood, this is the place to be. The establishment is also
known for the unique experience of choosing the freshest
catch in the talipapa (small market) and comissioning
eateries around the place to cook what they bought in any
method they prefer.
Real Coffee & Tea Cafe
This cafe is the home of Calamansi Muffins, the most
popular Boracay pasalubong (souvenir).
Boracay Toilet
Deemed to be the quirkiest restaurant in Boracay, the
restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its toilet
concept. The restaurant is inspired by Taiwan’s toiletthemed cafe and features toilet bowls as chairs, bathtubs
as benches, miniature toilet bowls as plates, and witty (and
punny) dish names.

explore the underwater marine life. Using air helmet as a
source of oxygen, participants can walk underwater and
feed the fish. This is a safer and easier alternative to scuba
diving.
Pub Crawl

nightlife is to join this bar-hopping tour. Participants are
required to wear the tour’s iconic yellow shirt as they
roam around the different bars in the island as one big
group. Their goal is to turn strangers into friends.
Fire Dancers
At night the long stretch of the Boracay shoreline turns
into a big outdoor bar that allows visitors to enjoy a
vibrant and intoxicating nightlife, but the highlight of the
night will be the talented fire dancers who perform in
different spots along the shore.
