Danao
4.5/5
221 Reviews
What travelers say: The beach is so clear and clean, that you can also swim with small fishes. The island is just small that you can just walk around it. Though you really need to rent a boat going there from bantayan island but it will just take 15 to 20 mins ride. You have to be in your swimwear when you get off the boat since there is no docking area, so you have to be ready for your legs to get wet. You cannot bring food in the island because there is a corkage so you have to eat first in the boat.

Boracay
4.6/5
469 Reviews
What travelers say: Less visited compared to the White Beach, this place also offers a nice white sand beach and crystal clear waters. However, its swimming area is "cantilado" -- meaning, there's a sudden drop in the depth of the water, which makes it quite dangerous for those who do not know how to swim. Apart from this, Puka Beach is less crowded compared to the White Beach -- hence, more relaxing and peaceful

What travelers say: Seems that parts of the place is under some sort of construction, so a number of attractions were closed off. The oceanarium is one of the smallest I've been to (and I've been to many). I rushed to make the birds of prey and sea lion shows, and was surprised that you are forced to exit the park afterwards. Tickets are single entry and so you are unable to re-enter. So I missed out on a couple of things including the dancing fairies (jelly fish).
