A famous activity that everyone needs to try when in Boracay is Banana Boat, your island escapade will not be complete without you getting to ride the said famous activity.

The activity requires a minimum of 5 person and maximum of 20 persons per banana boat, if ever that your group is not able to reach the minimum number for the activity, you have 2 options;






Option 1:  You can make the payment for the remaining number of seats to reach the minimum of 5 person which is Php 300.00/seat











Option 2: You can join with other groups so that you will be able to reach the minimum required. With this option there is no guarantee of how long you would have to wait, there are times that you only wait for a few minutes, there are also time that you have to wait for more than an hour.

The staffs will be providing life jackets for everybody before riding the banana boat since YOUR SAFETY IS ALWAYS THE PRIORITY.

You may also avoid long surface walk if you are diving in high tides. Currents In the ocean, currents are formed by winds, waves, tides, and the rotation of the earth.
