Boracay and the surrounding islands are usually very well sheltered from heavy sea swell.

We add a helicopter adventure to the list of activities you can do with your kids because of the sheer “wow factor”. Zooming across the sky checking out the local geography in an aircraft with 1000 parts all spinning in the wrong direction is a highly memorable experience!
