Ariel's Point (Batasan Point)
Batason Point, or more commonly known now as Ariel’s Point, was featured in 2014 as Boracay’s top tourist attraction. But what people don’t know is that it isn’t actually part of Boracay. This famous diving spot is one of the tourist attractions that belongs to the town of Buruanga, which is a completely different place.
The place has three different diving planks. The easiest one is the five-meter level, the other is eight meters high, and the highest plank is a 15-meter dive. For those who are concerned about drowning, you’ll be happy to know that the lifeguards are always ready to assist divers.
There are other activities too, like snorkeling and kayaking. The place also has a restaurant that serves a BBQ lunch buffet and free-flowing drinks, creating a fun, party-like atmosphere.
One tip we can give you is not to buy packages at Boracay, as those are really expensive. Instead, just haggle for a small pump boat from locals in Buruanga. So you can get the same experience for a much cheaper price. Plus, with the rented boat, you can visit other beaches around the area, like Hinugtan Beach and Naasog Point.
