Ariel's Point - a 3D2N Itinerary in Boracay Philippines

Ariel's Point Boracay, Philippines

If you only have a weekend or just a full day to explore Boracay, then dedicate that day to Ariel's Point. You'll never regret it. (written itinerary somewhere in the middle of this post)

3D2N can be gruellingly short to see and enjoy Boracay, mainly because the big Kalibo Airport is freakingly far from the island; unless you fly premium into the nearer Caticlan airport, you're likely to end up on the island either in the late afternoon (early afternoon if you have an early flight coming from Manila, which meant you have to spend a night in Manila the evening before) or just after sunset.

However, a weekend 3D2N trip to Boracay can still be done.

If you're a frequent visitor (like myself) to the many island trips in South East Asia, Boracay is just like a typical beach holiday for any visitor. You have the sea, the sandy beach, plentiful hotels, shopping and good food. There's not a lot of tourist spots to see but you'll be guaranteed a fun time if you're willing to spend, activities are abundance.

Which is why it makes sense to spend your previous one full day in Ariel's Point that requires you travelling out on a boat and only to return right before sunset. Ariel's Point is the one place that makes Boracay interesting and different. You'll have fun, get to meet lots of people, enjoy good food and drinks or even chillax if you can find a spot.

Here's a quick itinerary for a 3D2N trip:

Day 1
After checking in to your hotel, spend the remaining of the day soaking up the sun and enjoying the lovely beach in front of your hotel/resort.

Have a walk to and around D'Mall in Station 2 to do some shopping and dinner.

Day 2
Wake up at 9am, after breakfast, walk along the street in front of your hotel and keep a lookout for travel agency that offers Ariel's Point tour; or you can walk to Station 1 and look for Ariel's House and register yourself before 11am. The price is pretty standard all over the island at 1600 PHP per pax. During peak season, it is advisable to reserve a day before to guarantee a spot.

After return, you can have free and easy to enjoy the last of the beach, explore other parts of the island and go clubbing at night.

Day 3
Check out. More beach. Last minute shopping. Have your hotel arrange your transport out to your airport before your flight.

  1. Looks like a nice place! By the way, if you sit on the jumping platform, does that mean you have to jump off when someone else comes along? Or can you just climb back up? (looks difficult though)

  2. Incredible experience! Can’t wait to spend our Valentine’s Day celebration at Boracay island. So excited, good thing I bumped with this 7 Stones Boracay Suits Romantic dinner date promo last year. Hope my wife will love it. Aside from cliff jumping, can you recommend any other sport activities in the island? Thanks!
