Crocodile Island

Crocodile Island, Boracay

The basics

Spectacular visibility and a wealth of critters, from pygmy seahorses the size of a fingernail through to vibrant nudibranch sea slugs, make Crocodile Island one of Boracay’s favorite scuba diving sites. But the site is shallow enough, with a maximum depth of around 60 feet (18 meters), for snorkelers to also enjoy those luscious soft corals—and it’s close enough to Tambisaan Beach for a kayak adventure, too. Crocodile Island is a popular stop on Boracay island-hopping tours, but boats generally anchor offshore for snorkeling rather than hitting the small beach.

Perfect. That's it in one word. It was our last day and we were just tired of the street scammers trying to get to activities. I made one last attempt and was lucky enough to find your company. Not only a great value, but fast, responsive and 100% legit. Thank you folks. So very much.

Things to know before you go

  • While shallow, Crocodile Island’s reef wall can have some challenging currents. Newer divers may benefit from trips with a high guide to guest ratio.

  • Feeding bread to tropical fish distorts natural behaviors and can harm their digestion. Avoid tours that practice this.

  • Most Boracay island-hopping tours use outrigger boats, boarded by wading through surf. They’re not suitable for travelers who use wheelchairs.

How to get there

Crocodile Island sits off the southeastern corner of Boracay, about 800 feet (250 meters) from Tambisaan Beach. Visit on a boat tour or by kayak, as currents can make a long swim dangerous.

When to get there

Boracay dive guides will plan Crocodile Island dives for slack tide to avoid the most challenging currents. If snorkeling, diving, or island-hopping are a priority for you, avoid visiting Boracay during the peak of the rainy season (July to September) when rain and winds can make for murky water and strong waves.

Other must-visit spots around Boracay

Crocodile Island is primarily a snorkeling spot—but don’t limit yourself to just this one attraction. Other gems around Boracay include Ilig Iligan Beach, a white-sand beach perfect for swimming; Balinghai Beach, a secluded cove that can only be reached by canoe; and Willy’s Rock, a recognizable volcanic formation topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary.
