00:00Known for its white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, Boracay is probably the top

00:04destination in the Philippines when it comes to beaches. So today we are here to experience

00:09a little bit of what you can do here in Boracay.

00:24There actually is so much to do in one of the most popular summer destinations in the Philippines.

00:30So we had to make the most of our 24-hour adventure here starting with breakfast at Move and Pick,

00:35our home base for this trip. The best way to start your adventure is with food so

00:40before we head out we're having breakfast here at Move and Pick. Move and Pick, located at Station X,

00:46serves a variety of food items for their breakfast buffet. They have local and international cuisines

00:52and vegetarian options as well, which fuels us up for our first activity of the day.

00:59Our first activity today takes us away from the white sand beaches of Boracay here to New Coast

01:06where we're exploring the area on these ATVs. We booked this activity on CLUC. If you want to book

01:12for yourself, look for Viaje Royale ATV tours on the CLUC app and you're all set for a little over

01:17an hour of ATV riding. Our experience started with an orientation for rules and to familiarize ourselves

01:24with the routes and various stopovers and photo spots that we'll get to visit along the way.

01:33So here we are in our first stop of the ATV tour with a signage for photos and a view that you don't

01:38normally see when you're down there by the ocean. This is one of the cool things about experiencing this

01:42ATV tour. Not only do you get to see the quiet side of Boracay away from the populated tourist area,

01:48you also get to see views from higher vantage points as well.

01:53So we've just approached the second stop of our ATV tour, the helipad. No helicopters today,

01:57I'm the helicopter for today. Always wear your helmet when riding, but it's a great view here on the

02:02helipad. Next location. But what is Boracay if not for its beaches? So our next location takes us to

02:09a private beach. We don't want to drive the ATVs on the sand to keep it as pristine as possible,

02:14but the stop takes us right outside the private beach with access to it for fresh air and a chance

02:20to take photos by the beach. As good as the other spots are for photos, our final location is the

02:27place to go for the perfectly framed picture. Our last stop takes us to the Keyhole, which is a rock

02:33formation here in New Coast. Take a look at what it looks like. Here at the Keyhole is a famous photo

02:44spot here at New Coast. People line up for it and it's an amazing rock formation that gives you a good

02:49frame for your photo. Make sure to allocate ample time for this as you may be lined up here for a while.

02:54But that ends our ATV tour and a nice way to start the day with fresh air and photos for souvenirs.

03:04Now it's an understatement to say that there are a lot of food options here in Boracay. So you

03:08definitely have something for whatever you're feeling for the day. For us, it was Latin American food.

03:12So we're here at Muchos to satisfy that craving. So we're having lunch here at Station One at Muchos,

03:18which is a Latin American restaurant. I have a spread in front of me which includes dishes like birria,

03:25ceviche, shrimp tacos, lengua, tamales, the huevos rancheros, the dulce de leche. That's a lot of food for me to

03:32try. But I'm excited. I love Latin American food. Let's try it. Let's go for the birria first.

03:41That's good. Just a little bit of spice. And of course, we can't be in Boracay without

03:46seafood. We have the ceviche here. I'll try one of them.

03:52That's fresh. They went wrong. It is spicy.

03:54That's good. Washing it down with the horchata.

04:05Is that good? Anyway, I'll finish this meal before we go on to our next adventure

04:10just in a bit.

04:13After our meal, our next activity takes us well above the open ocean.

04:17So I am now on our second activity of the day which is parasailing as you can see from the

04:23parachute behind me with the oceans below me and an amazing view of Boracay up here. The thing about

04:30parasailing is you think that it's pretty intense and pretty high octane but once you're up here,

04:35you don't even know how high you are and suddenly you're all the way up here.

04:38It's relaxing. Get over the height, it's relaxing.

04:45And so much fun. The breeze is so nice. The weather is beautiful.

04:49And I have to give a special shout out again to Klook because we booked this through the Klook app

04:54and they took care of everything. All they had to do is show up.

04:57Everything was paid for already. Signed the forms and stuff like that and we're off the boat. So thank

05:02you once again Klook. If you guys want to try parasailing for yourself, check them out also on the Klook app.

05:06Whoa, there's our winds. Check them out on the Klook app and go book for yourself.

05:16Of course watching it from above the ocean looks so enticing so as the sun starts to get low,

05:20we hopped on our next activity, parao sailing. This activity, best done during sunset, is a relaxing

05:2715 to 20 minute boat ride just off the shores of Boracay. Here you can catch your breath for a

05:32little bit and slow down as you let your Moana dreams come true for a moment as you glide just

05:37above the ocean to enjoy the weather and the late afternoon until the setting sun.

05:42But we got off before sunset because we wanted to enjoy golden hour in a different way.

05:48Riding up around sunset is not the only way to enjoy the Boracay golden hour.

05:52We are currently on our way to Dini Beach for some drinks while we watch the sun go down.

06:03Dini Beach is far removed from the main beach of Boracay. From station two, we had to take a

06:08trike there but what greeted us was good drinks, good vibes, and good food. It's a quaint spot to enjoy the

06:15rest of the sun going down over cocktail and bar chow but we wanted to make the sunset last forever.

06:32So soon after we finished our drinks, we headed back to move and pick for sunset and dinner activity.

06:37They provide all the materials including the choice between canvas or tote bag along with the setup and

06:48cocktails and bar chow so you can unwind in their garden area with the sea breeze and be inspired by

06:53the colors that the sunset brings.

07:15After the sun had set, our paintings were done and we ended the night with a feast at Move and Pick

07:20which caps off our activity filled day in Boracay. Now of course, while we enjoyed everything that

07:27we did, we also wanted to enjoy Boracay in a more relaxed way so we spent the next day enjoying the

07:31facilities of Move and Pick. And if you want to know more about that, stay tuned to our channel by

07:36hitting the subscribe button for an upcoming video where we go into just some of the things that they

07:40offered. But if you like this video, hit the like button while you're there and before we end,

07:45we needed one last Boracay essential. Of course, we can't leave Boracay without the iconic Chorri Burger.
