Boracay Zipline, Kayaking and Kawa Hot Bath Combo - Guide

Boracay's adventure trio: zipline, kayak and kawa bath

Boracay is famous for its beach, but this combo tour shows a different, more adrenaline-fuelled side of the island: soaring above the jungle canopy on a zipline, paddling calm inland water by kayak, and finishing with a soak in a traditional kawa hot bath - a giant iron cauldron once used for cooking sugar, now repurposed as a steaming, herb-infused tub. It is a full day of variety, ideal for travellers who want more than sunbathing from their Boracay trip.

Zipline over the jungle

The day starts with a rush: a zipline ride strapped into a harness, gliding above the treetops of Boracay's inland jungle with views over the canopy and out toward the coast. It is a short, exhilarating way to see the island from a completely different angle than the beach ever offers.

Kayaking and the kawa bath

Next comes a calmer paddle by kayak through Boracay's quieter inland waterways, a gentle contrast to the zipline's speed. The day closes with the signature kawa hot bath - sitting back in a large cauldron of warm, herb-scented water, often finished with flower petals, a relaxing and distinctly local way to soothe muscles after a day of activity.

A well-rounded adventure day

Because each activity is short, the combo keeps energy high without any single element overstaying its welcome - adrenaline, calm and relaxation in one afternoon. It is a popular choice for groups and couples looking to break up a beach-heavy Boracay itinerary with something more active.

Good to know

Wear comfortable, quick-dry activewear and closed shoes for the zipline, and bring a swimsuit for the kayaking and kawa bath. The activities suit most fitness levels; the zipline has a weight limit typical of most operators, so check when booking. Bring a camera - the jungle views from the zipline and the novelty of the kawa bath both make for memorable photos.

Typically the price covers transfers, boat rides, a guide, permits and often lunch; some areas charge a separate environmental fee.

What should I bring?

Pack a light jacket (the cave is cool), sunscreen and a hat for the boat ride and beach. Helmets are provided for the cave. It is also worth carrying some cash for local fees, drinks and tips, plus any personal medication, since card facilities can be limited outside the cities.

If you have specific concerns about age, fitness or swimming ability, message the operator before booking - they can advise on the best option for your group.

When is the best time to do this tour?

The best conditions are usually the dry season from roughly November to May. That said, the Philippines is a year-round destination, and many of these experiences run in any season - just expect the occasional shower and check the forecast for the day.
