The signature of Paradise Garden is the magnificence of its tropical gardens, its large pool and the white sand beach. The most beautiful view in Boracay can be experienced from the roof of the Palace, where you can watch the sunset coming over the beach and the Pacific Ocean.

Things to do
The Island offers countless activities to suit everyone's fancy:

Beach Volleyball
The fine white sands make beach volleyball most inviting. Beach volleyball and other beach sports have become quite popular with annual tournaments being held to promote both the sport and the island.

Boat Ride
The trip to Boracay is not complete without having gone around the island exploring nearby coves and islands hide-aways on-board a banka (outrigger boat). Banka rentals for one day are approximately US$ 20.00. Various kinds of aqua-sport-equipment is also available for rent from different aqua-sport-establishments (look for Serge at Serge’s Palace) at reasonable prices.

Diving
The rich marine life around Boracay makes for interesting dives. Dive trips for the experienced divers and lessons for the newcomers are offered by many dive centers on the Island (look for Rene at Calypso Dive School), from which the latest state of art diving and snorkeling gear can be rented.

Golf
A world-class 18-hole scenic golf course is located on the Island. For the avid golfers, arrangements to play and equipment rental can be made (a one-day-membership plus green-fees and caddy will cost you around US$ 50.-).

Mountain Climbing, Biking and Motorcycling
For the more adventurous traveler, exploring Boracay's terrain on a bicycle or motorbike would be a lot of fun. Special tours that offer visitors a feel of Boracay countryside are available. There are many places where you could rent a bicycle or motorbike on an hourly or daily basis (bicycles at US$ 10.- and motorbikes at around US 20.- per day).

Restaurant and Bar Hopping
To satisfy every palate and for night-lovers, Boracay's beachfront is lined with restaurants serving asian and international cuisines, open-air bars, karaokes bars and discos (look for Summer Place). More and more upscale dining places are being opened (look for La Campanina, Café del Mar, Banza’s, Dos Mestizos, El Paradiso, CNN Café at Serge’s Palace). A scenic place to enjoy sunset and some nice food would be the Cocomagas Beach and Oyster Bach (daily fresh and safe Oysters as well as excellent wines).

Sunbathing
Some visitors prefer to bask in the sun, lie under the shade of a coconut palm tree watching the varied activities on the beach or reading a book. It is worthwhile remembering to protect oneself with the well known sun-block-cosmetics as the sand and the sea can reflect the burning rays of the sun, which is very strong in this part of the world, anyway. Serious sunburns are quite common but should be avoided at any cost.

Sunset Viewing
Watching Boracay's spectacular sunset on the white beach would be one of the highlights of your Boracay experience (have a taste of it and click into our sunset section of this website).

Windsurfing
Boracay is now considered Asia's best boardsailing destination and if windsurfing or kiting is your fancy, Boracay is the place for it. There are international competitions around the month of February every year. You will find many winsurfing schools on Boracay. Equipment can be rented out at reasonable cost.
