Fun­ filled leisure activities also await visitors of this island. Adventure­ seekers can cross horseback riding, scuba diving, snorkeling, kite boarding, windsurfing, parasailing, cliff diving, and banana boat riding off their lists because all of those are hip and happening activities present in Boracay.
