Tambisaan Beach in Boracay

I was told before that Tambisaan Beach in Boracay is a nice snorkeling site that can be reached either via boat when you go island hopping or just a mere tricycle ride that will cost you Php100.00 from Station 3. I was feeling particularly adventurous one afternoon that I took a tricycle ride all by myself and discovered this beautiful beach.

Boracay Sexy Fire Dance (a video)

I seldom see stars at night these days, except for those nature trips I took in Malapascua where I saw the brightest and the most number of stars as well as in Casa San Pablo in Laguna. I wanted to see the same thing in Boracay. It is an island after all and I expected to commune with nature for the most part. Unfortunately, Boracay, at night, can be as bright as the biggest malls here in Manila. You can probably see the largest of constellations like Orion's belt and big dipper but other than that, you'd be lucky to spot the farthest and brightest of stars even on a clear night sky.

Why I Love Angol Beach in Boracay

The stretch of white, powdery sand lined with coconut trees and cozy resorts along Angol beach has been one of my few favorite places in Boracay during my one month stay there. This part of Boracay is peaceful and the people I saw hanging out there, like me, were the quiet ones who just liked to sunbathe while reading a good book or those who liked to sleep under the heat of the glorious sun.

Here, let me show you some videos my husband and I took at Angol beach and why we loved it so much:

Video: Getting Run Over by the Boracay Zorb

Yesterday, I showed you a video of our Boracay zorb adventure. This time, I will show you what it's like to get run over by a huge zorb!

So, we just did the downhill ride at that time. It was the next couple's ride. The locals assisting us said that our adventure is not yet over. We also have to get run over by a zorb! So we positioned ourselves on a mat they placed on the grass, did some photo ops then it was time to wait for the zorb to go down and have it run us over. It was quite heart-pumping. That's a huge ball after all and the couple inside was quite on the heavy side *yikes!*.

True enough, the moment the zorb started rolling, I can already hear it rumbling like the tsunami that swept Japan. My heart was beating faster by the second. When it finally ran us over, I felt the strain on my back. It was heavy! Good thing it lasted for only a second. Whew! ^_^

Video of Our Boracay Zorbing Adventure

I blogged about Boracay Zorb before but it was just last night that I discovered we had a video of the whole thing. Here you will see how one of the locals helped take the video of our Boracay zorb adventure... from the time we went inside the huge zorb ball until it went down with Peter and myself inside. Then there we were alive and safe (Thank God!). Cameras are not allowed inside as they can cause not just serious injuries to the riders but may cause damage to the zorb as well. So thank you, manong, for taking this video for us. ^_^

There's another video of us being run over by a zorb which I discovered taken by one of the locals again using our camcorder but I haven't uploaded it yet. For now, enjoy our Boracay zorbing video!

Boracay Reef Walking or Helmet Diving

Boracay Reef Walking is one of those exciting things Peter and I did in Boracay. It took half a day before Peter convinced me to do it. As some of you may know, as much as I love being in the water, I'd rather be on the surface (like when I'm snorkeling), rather than going under (like when diving).

Since reef walking or what is also popularly known as helmet diving involves going 15 feet underwater, I had my apprehensions about it. Why?

Go Ride the Boracay Zorb

Zorbing is now available in Boracay! There are so many locals offering this kind of activity on the island. We finally said yes when we approached a guy who gave us good rates (Php400.00 per person) with free van ride to the Zorbing area in Yapak.


Yapak is on the way to the bat cave and for those who won't be offered free van ride, you can rent a tricycle for Php100.00 one way. The ride from white beach to the Zorb Park took about 20 minutes or so and a part of the road going there was pretty bumpy.


Zorb Park has two different zorb rides...

Boracay Activities: What to Do?

I've been to Boracay so many times since 2004. Thanks to our Panoly membership from 2004-2014, we have no choice but to take advantage of our points which were already paid for. It was just this year that Panoly got into a legal battle with the owner of the land where the resort is located that is why I decided to just stay at Bonueva Home on those weeks that I am supposed to be at Panoly. I would sue Panoly myself if they haven't done anything about it. It's good that they promised to book us Asian flights and accommodations within this year instead.

So anyway, all those years that I visited Boracay, I have already done so many activities that I don't know what else is left for me to do. Let's do a little backtrack. If you're planning to go to Boracay as well, here are some things you can do during your stay:
