Second day in Boracay

Our second day is merely activities that the island offered just like my first time. We had helmet diving, flyfish ride, island hopping, snorkeling and buggy riding. We've got all those rides for P850 plus we gave additional P50 each to our package dealer for being so good and patient with us throughout the activities. He'd been our official photographer and videographer too and is soo good at it. You may contact him at 0939-1373473 (Michael Miro).

Enjoy snippets of our activities.

We tried helmet diving first, only 6 of us go through with it. The other 2 got scared. (Spell LOSERS, that's the two of them LOL peace to-both-of-you-who-must-not-be-named) This helmet diving will only last around 10 to 15 mins down there.

The helmets

The shirtless guy briefed us what to do

Before you'll go through with it, an instructor will give you lectures of the do's and don'ts of it. Make sure to learn the proper sign language once underwater to avoid confusions. There are 2 divers guiding you in going up and down and once your group had been settled let the fish feeding and picture taking begin. The challending part of this helmet diving is in going down when you have to battle the pressure of the water. But with proper execution to equalize the pressure everything's just fine. You can breathe normally once the pressure's gone. Then you'll enjoy those colorful fishes, savor the crystal clear water and be amazed the beauty of nature underwater.

Next stop is fly fish. My second time too.

I wonder where are my 3 companions in this picture. It looks like I'm the only one riding here

Then island hopping. Our first stop is at Ilig iligan where we had our lunch. While waiting for our food we had swimming under the sun. We don't mind the heat, the water is just so inviting to be ignored.

We had group pictorial at this sand castle after our lunch. Just give a small tip to the person incharge who will also take pictures of you.

Then we were brought to a certain spot for snorkeling. The small boat was anchored in the middle  of the ocean and from there we had snorkeling and swimming again. Buko juice vendor came, we were so amazed how resourceful Pinoys are in terms of livelihood. We bought some buko to satisfy our thirst and to help that vendor to earn money too.

It was indeed a wet fun filled activities. Tiring yet so much fun and laughters. It's always good to enjoy with friends, share memories and experiences with them. These are things with no price tags.

Boracay Island's water rides

We were tired from our long travel a day before this plus the endless walking along all 3 stations. But it didn't stop us to wake up early and be ready to experience some-of-the-must-try-activities in the island. We're so lucky to get a good promo for this day's activity- banana boat ride,  fly fish ride, helmet diving, ATV ride, and island hopping  for only  P1,300 each pax. We grabbed the promo then and there coz it's cheaper. During our stroll we happened to ask the cost for each ride, we're informed that each of those mentioned is worth P300 and P1,500 for the island hopping alone. Now you may do the math how much we had saved for getting that promo.

Join me here as I laid out our activities for this day.

The red speed boat brought us to where the customized boat for fly fish and banana boat stationed.

I'll be sharing some of our pictures for this adventure but sad to say our helmet diving pictures until now were not yet transferred from the CD to the computer.

Banana Boat

Everyone's all smile while riding the banana boat. Actually this ride was just a warm up to prepare us for the fly fish ride.

Fly Fish. I'm so hesitant to ride this since I'm scared if I'll fall. For someone like me who doesn't know how to swim, my fear is not baseless. But then again, this adventurous side of me don't know how to say no. I'm happy I did it though, it's a must try.  Enjoy our pictures below. The whole ride is full of fun, believe me!!!

That picture above  showed that it just landed from it's fly. You've got to hang on so tight so you won't fall. I zeroed out all my energy for this ride. Kinda scary but suuuper fun.

The one driving the red speed boat tagging the fly fish won't stop unless one will fall. And yes I was the lucky one who fell to the water.

Island hopping. After flyfish riding we were fetched by a small boat to tour the island. You can see a lot of small small boats with passengers fishing, sun bathing and then some stopped for a certain spot to do snorkeling.

The island is crowded everywhere may it be at the sea or by the shore.

I was amazed looking at these 2 guys selling frozen bars and buko. Only in the Philippines indeed!!!

It's an extremely fun experience. Boracay is love!!!
