Boracay Island Hopping: 10 Islands and Beaches Near Boracay You Shouldn’t Miss Out On

Boracay is world-famous for its main White Beach, more popularly known as Stations 1, 2, and 3. But did you know there’s more to Boracay than just this beach? You’d be surprised to know that there are actually a handful of islands and secluded beaches you can explore during your island getaway, and they are easily accessible through Klook’s Boracay island hopping package!  

Boracay island hopping prices are very reasonable — starting at P900 — making it a must-do activity during your vacation. So what are you waiting for? Here are 10 of the best beaches and islands you need to visit during your Boracay island hopping adventure:

Diniwid Beach is the quieter and less crowded neighbor of the bustling White Beach. The laid-back vibe here is perfect for those who want to enjoy an undisturbed time frolicking in the fine white sands of Boracay. 

Klook Tip: The best time to visit this beach is in the late afternoon when the sun is about to set. It offers one of the best vantage points in Boracay for the iconic golden hour!

Carabao Island is the perfect hideaway for those wanting to escape the huge crowds of Boracay. It’s famous for cliff-jumping spots, like Koding Koding and Cathedral Cave, and being a small, quiet island that gives you one of the most breathtaking viewpoints. But if you just want a chill getaway, you can unwind and enjoy the simple charms of the tropics at the island’s main beach, San Jose Beach.

Puka Beach is one of the few places in Boracay where you can still experience its raw beauty. The sand here may not be as fine as that of White Beach, but the allure of Puka Beach is in its tranquility, allowing you to enjoy the ultimate beach bumming session away from the crowds. No wonder many tourists want to stop here during their Boracay island hopping tour just to indulge in a few minutes of complete relaxation and peace!

Book your island-hopping tour package with Klook and bask in the serenity of Puka Beach! This package also includes a delicious grilled buffet lunch.

Another great place to bask in complete isolation and solitude is Hinugtan Beach. This rising destination north of Boracay is the smaller and more secluded version of the famed island. A visit here will actually give you a glimpse of the “old” Boracay before all the tourism developments took off.  

Case in point: Its coconut-tree-lined white beach and deep blue waters will really remind you of the popular vacation spot, minus the big hotels and tourists. There’s also no signal here, so if you want to escape modernity for a few hours, you know which beach to include in your Boracay island-hopping itinerary!

Prepare your snorkeling gear and get ready to experience Boracay’s rich marine life at Crocodile Island! Don’t worry, there are no real crocodiles here—this small uninhabited island earned its name because its shape resembles a crocodile’s head. It’s a go-to spot for swimming and snorkeling because the waters are full of colorful fishes and corals, wrasses, and sea snakes!

Feed your need for adrenaline at Magic Island. This enchanting island is a popular cliff-jumping destination where you can leap from several platforms, starting at a modest 10 feet, up to a staggering 30 feet high. What’s more to love is that the water surrounding Magic Island is so clear that you can see the bottom of the sea from your diving board and you can jump as many times as you want before moving on to the next leg of your Boracay island hopping tour!

Balinghai Beach is a secluded beach where you can enjoy snorkeling and sunbathing. Located in the northern part of Boracay, it can be discerned by its small patch of white sand nestled under a cliff. Not many tourists know that this gem of a beach even exists, so you can expect to have the place all to yourself if you plan to add it to your Boracay island-hopping itinerary.

Crystal Cove Island is known as the all-in-one stop during island-hopping tours in Boracay. The two-hectare property offers a wide range of activities, from snorkeling to trekking, spelunking, and swimming. It’s also famous for its caves, where travelers can encounter interesting crystal formations.

But what you need to watch out for while here are the tunnels that lead from one side of the cove to the other, where waves crash against the rocky walls. After cave hopping, you can set up a picnic at one of the island’s cottages and enjoy a delicious feast under the summer sky.

If you want to see another side of Boracay, Tambisaan Beach is the place to go. Instead of upscale hotels and restaurants, the 500-meter-long white sand beach is where you’ll find simpler resorts and establishments. Here, you can mingle with locals and witness how they live on the island. Tambisaan Beach is yet another great spot for snorkeling, so take your equipment along.
