Island hopping at Crystal Cove Island: This tiny 2-hectare private island is the best alternative beach experience to Boracay Island, just 15 minutes away from Boat Station 3. It boasts a short shoreline adorned with white sand and coral stones, and its main highlight is the presence of two beautiful coves where guests can swim if the weather permits. It's important to note that there are no vehicles on the island, so be prepared to walk throughout your visit. The island features a restaurant offering a wide selection of drinks; however, they do not currently accept food orders. Additionally, there is an entrance fee of 300 pesos per person, allowing you to explore and stay on the island for as long as you want.

Boracay has two weather monsoons: Southwest monsoon (rainy season) which falls from mid-June up to mid-October, and Northeast monsoon (dry season), which is experienced during the remaining months.

I suggest visiting Boracay from March until June, simply because it feels like summer and there are no weather disturbances. it is ideal for tourists who want to avail activities both on land and in the sea.

December is also a recommended time to visit Boracay since the weather is cool and windy. It is considered the peak season here on the island because of the Christmas season.

Normally, accommodation rates increase this time of the year due to the high occupancy of the hotels and resorts.
