“Allan was an incredibly friendly and welcoming tour guide. It felt like spending the day with a friend. He made sure we went to the correct shopping mall (which was a big help, since there are so many!), and he organized everything perfectly. Allan took all the stress out of getting around Manila. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone visiting Manila.“. – Rhys UK

“He was friendly and caring, he took me around Intramuros, Rizal Park and Chinatown, we also had a Jeepney ride and he found me a motorbike when no taxi was available. We spent a great night at O bar watching the show, he was my guardian angel at my arrival and we had some great fun. I definitely recommend his service !“. – Chris USA

Cruise Ships Visiting Boracay

Boracay is a popular stop on many Asian cruise itineraries, with ships from Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Seabourn and other luxury cruise lines regularly visiting the island. As Boracay does not have a deep-water cruise terminal, ships anchor offshore and passengers are transferred by tender to Caticlan Jetty Port, the main gateway to the island. From the jetty, it’s just a 10–15 minute boat transfer to Boracay, followed by a short journey to White Beach, the island’s main tourist area.

Why Choose a Private Shore Excursion?

A private shore excursion gives you the freedom to experience Boracay at your own pace instead of following a large cruise ship group. With your own friendly local Guides4me guide, you can relax on the island’s famous white sand beaches, discover hidden coves, enjoy authentic Filipino cuisine and explore places that many organised tours never visit. Your itinerary is tailored entirely to your interests, allowing you to make the most of your time ashore.

Make the Most of Your Time Ashore

Our experienced local guides carefully plan every private shore excursion around your ship’s tender schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free day from Caticlan Jetty Port. With local knowledge, flexible itineraries and personalised service, you’ll enjoy the very best of Boracay while returning to your cruise ship with plenty of time to spare.

Highlights of Boracay

Arriving in Boracay for the first time feels almost unreal. The island is famous for its bright white sand, clear blue water, and warm tropical breeze. As soon as you step onto White Beach, you understand why so many travellers call it one of the best beaches in the world. The sand is soft, the sea is calm, and the whole island has a relaxed holiday vibe.

Each part of White Beach has its own feel. 1st Station is peaceful and beautiful, perfect for swimming and watching sunsets. 2nd Station is lively with markets, cafés, and restaurants. Station 3 is more laid-back, great for quiet mornings and long beach walks. Exploring all three gives you a full taste of island life. You can try fresh seafood, local snacks, and refreshing fruit shakes as you stroll along the shore.

For adventure lovers, Boracay offers plenty to do. You can try island hopping, snorkelling, paddle boarding, and jet skiing. Puka Beach, on the northern side of the island, feels like a hidden paradise. It is quieter, with fewer crowds and amazing views. Sunset sailing on a traditional paraw boat is another must-do. The colours in the sky turn the whole sea golden.

Boracay’s nightlife is fun and colourful. Beach bars, fire dancers, and live music create a lively but friendly atmosphere. It is easy to meet other travellers and enjoy the island’s social scene. Everything feels vibrant yet safe, making it perfect for first-time visitors.

To make the most of your visit, it is a good idea to book a local friendly tour guide. A guide can help you discover hidden beaches, top photo spots, and authentic local food. They know the island well and can help you avoid overcrowded areas. With a local guide, your trip becomes smoother, safer, and far more enjoyable. It is the best way to experience Boracay like a true insider.

Whatever you choose to do in Boracay, it will be a unique and memorable experience of a lifetime, with a Guides4me guide, who will look after you and by the end of the trip you’ve made a best friend.
