With every passing year, the island of Boracay attracts more and more people around the globe who wish to witness its breathtaking scenery and experience the many exciting adventures that the island offers.

One of the most fascinating destinations in Boracay is Ariel’s Point, well known by adventurous travelers for its exhilarating cliff diving sites.  As featured on their Website, Ariel's Point sits atop the western point of Buruanga, an unspoiled fishing town on the shores of Aklan.  Ariel’s point serves as a window to the wonders of the Philippines with five cliff diving sites overlooking turquoise swimming holes, tropical marine life, lush mangrove forests, and volcanic rock formations.

Ariel’s Point is fast becoming the most exciting Boracay daytime activity for locals and foreigners alike. It is a postcard-worthy destination that is only a 30-minute boat ride away from Boracay Island.
