My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!

There is no way you'll be able to visit all the islands in the Philippines but your best chance is with a tour like this! You'll get some great pictures... I'd even recommend booking 2 or 3 island day tours as there are so many islands to see! Worth every penny!

On February 28, 2020 my college classmates-friends with our families arrived in Iloilo. Our tour guide, Anton of Amazing Package Travel, picked us up at the airport. We went ahead of our Iloilo City tour. First stop is the Miagao Cathedral, a baroque fortress church founded in 1791 and a UNESCO heritage. We had lunch then proceeded to Garin Pilgrimage Farm, a picturesquely place to contemplate. They room accommodation, too. Best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the sun. Our tour covered the beautiful old cathedrals, mansions, streets and the contrasting new developed commercial locations like the Festive Walk. We also bought the Iloilo delicacies and ate the well-know Batchoy. I live in Manila but I love Iloilo’s discipline and cleanliness. I will surely come back.
