What is Ariel's Point?
Ariel's Point is a private island/promontory located approximately 8 km north of Boracay near the fishing village of Buruanga on Panay Island. The site features dramatic volcanic rock formations rising from crystal-clear water, with purpose-built platforms at multiple heights for cliff jumping. It's been operating since the early 2000s and has become one of Boracay's most beloved experiences, particularly popular with young travelers, groups, and anyone seeking an adrenaline rush in a spectacular natural setting.
The Cliff Jumping Platforms
Five platforms are available at heights of approximately 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 meters. You're free to jump from any platform at any time — no instruction or supervision required (though safety staff are present). Most first-timers start at 3 meters to build confidence before working their way up. The 15-meter platform is only for the bold — the brief moment of freefall before hitting the water feels significantly longer than it sounds, and the impact can sting if you don't maintain proper form.
The water at the base of the cliffs is deep (8–10 meters), clear, and completely free of rocks or obstacles. Dozens of jumpers use the platforms daily without incident. Those who jump tend to climb back up and jump again — and again.
What's Included
The all-inclusive package costs approximately ₱1,800–₱2,500 per person and includes: return boat transfer from Boracay (approximately 45 minutes each way), unlimited cliff jumping from all platforms, kayaking around the rock formations, snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (beers, spirits, juices), and a cooked lunch including grilled fish, barbecued pork, rice, and fruit.
The combination of great food, unlimited drinks, spectacular activities, and an extraordinary setting makes this genuinely exceptional value. Tours typically run 8 AM to 4–5 PM.
How to Book
Book through Ariel's Point directly or through any tour operator in D'Mall or along White Beach. Hotels can also arrange bookings. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. Alcohol is served generously but jumping while intoxicated is strongly discouraged by staff — the activity area and bar area are intentionally separated for safety.
Practical Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a rash guard for sun protection during the long boat ride, a waterproof bag for valuables, and footwear with grip for climbing the wet rocky platforms. Motion sickness tablets are advisable if you're sensitive — the banca ride can be rough in Habagat season. The best jumps are at mid-day when the sun is overhead and the water is most vivid. Don't drink heavily before jumping — adrenaline and alcohol don't mix safely.
