Crystal Cove, Boracay Island

One of the top things to do in Boracay Island, Philippines is the island hopping tour, where one get to experience snorkeling in various spots around the island and visit several different islands off the coast of Boracay. Crystal Cove, one of those small island sanctuary, is undoubtedly one of the highlight of the trip. True to its name, this two hectare island is blessed with crystal clear waters all around the island, and we are able to explore the caves and swim in them. The 200 pesos (approximately US$4) entry fee per person was definitely worth the experience!
