Boracay’s kayak and canoe tours offer practical ways to explore this stunning Philippine island. The most worthwhile options combine crystal kayaking with island hopping – letting you peer straight through the clear bottom of your vessel into the turquoise waters below. I’m especially fond of the small-group guided tours that include photo stops and marine life viewing, which provide excellent value without the tourist crowds. For active travelers, combination packages linking kayaking with jet skiing deliver a perfect balance of serenity and excitement. Local guides share insider knowledge you won’t find in guidebooks, and most tours thoughtfully include photo documentation of your adventure. Check out these stand-out kayak tours that showcase the best of Boracay’s waters.
