By our final day in Boracay everyone was healthy enough again to venture a boat ride around the island. We took off from Boat Station #1 and visited a snorkeling site and another small island called the "Crystal Cave". The snorkeling was terrific. We anchored the boat over a beautiful coral reef and swam among thousands of small and colorful fish. The kids had fun feeding bread to the fish and admiring interesting shells and starfish.
We weren't the only folks snorkeling in this area at the southern tip of Boracay. In fact there was a guy there on a small canoe who collected a $5 fee from us for the privilege. There were also other guys on canoes selling coconuts and ice cream. You can see the Cazzato children enjoying some local Philippine ice cream after a strenous 20 minutes of snorkeling. Actually, I felt obliged to buy ice cream from the vendor after he loaned us some ice to helped remedy a sting that Marco picked up in the water.
The Crystal Cave (or maybe it was the Crystal Cove) offered a nice walk around the island, but overall was a bit overpriced. We paid 800 pesos admission ($16 U.S.) for a stroll and a visit to a fairly uninteresting small cave on the waterline.
But have a look at that blue ocean and the clear water. The boat ride was certainly a chance to enjoy the ocean and the island from a different perspective. Boracay is a very beautiful place and as exotic a tropical beach location as one could find anywhere in the world. The Cazzato family gives it two thumbs up.

Hi
I have been reading a little bit in your blog, and hope you don't mind me reading a bit more. We are a family of 4 and will be moving to Shanghai/Suzhou in about 1 year. Any advice?
Best regards,
Susanne and family
