Eastern Boracay: The Island’s Quieter Side, Boracay, Philippines

As attractions in the Boracay are generally sparsely located, it is recommended to make use of transfers or purchase the Hop On Hop Off bus tickets so that you can cover the distances between the attractions more easily.

This guide will walk you through the key areas, as well as lesser-known sites which can be found while you are exploring the eastern side of Boracay. Without further ado…

While it is located further away from other attractions in the eastern side of Boracay, the Mount Luho Viewing Deck is absolutely worth visiting because it offers 360 degree views of the surrounding areas at an elevated point.

Mount Luho Viewing Deck may not be easily found. When I arrived, there is a set of stairs with a signage saying that the area is under renovation and no trespassing is allowed.
