Summary
The locations we go to are normally flat water and strong winds. Generally 20-30knots so be prepared with your smaller kites. Check windy.com location link : https://on.windy.com/6lmbm The weather in the Philippines is divided into two seasons. During the summer months, June to October, the Southwest monsoon, called Habagat, brings generally wet and overcast weather with a few typhoons to the Philippines. Kitesurfing season is the winter months, November to mid-April, is the Northeast monsoon called Amihan. This brings generally dry, consistent wind and blue skies to the Philippines and is the preferred season for kitesurfing. Air and sea temperature throughout the winter months is perfectly warm, there is certainly no need for a wetsuit. Enjoy flat water with 20+ Knot offshore winds and ocean swell that wraps around the tropical islands.
The Destination
The Experience
Mornings start easy aboard Soniya — coffee on deck, kites rigged, and the crew reading the wind before anyone's fully awake. Most days split into long, unhurried kite sessions (up to 40+ hours across the week) across flat-water lagoons and, at Seco, wave-riding on the outer reef too — with room to actually spread out, since there are never more than 6 guests aboard. Between sessions, the pace drops right down: sunbathing on deck, snorkeling off the boat, or just watching the water change color as Soniya swings at anchor.
Food is a genuine highlight, not an afterthought — guests consistently call it out unprompted in reviews. Full meals and drinks are included throughout, cooked fresh by the onboard chef and served family-style on deck: think curries, fresh papaya salad, sushi rolls, and a pizza oven for something more casual, with wine and drinks flowing into the evening. Starlink keeps you connected mid-ocean if you want it, otherwise it's easy to just switch off entirely.
Evenings are where the trip earns its "vibe" — golden-hour sunsets from the deck, a full sound system, and on the last night a proper onboard celebration (guests have literally called it "our famous onboard disco") with music, drinks, and dancing under the stars. On the Mindoro route there's an added cultural layer too — easier sailing and a taste of local island life alongside an unforgettable 3-mile downwind kite-sail between anchorages.
It adds up to something between a kite trip, a sailing expedition, and a floating house party with your closest new friends — remote, a little wild, genuinely luxurious, and built around a crew (captain, chef, kite instructor) whose whole job is making sure you never have to think about logistics. As one guest put it: "hands down one of the best sailing / kitesurfing experiences" — and most come back wanting a second week before they've even left the boat.
Your Kitesurfing Level
To make the most of the trip, you should be at independent Kiteboarder with your own equipment. The kite locations we go to have off-shore winds, so you must be able to go upwind reliably. But in case the wind goes light, or you have an issue with your kite, our rescue dingy is always on standby. If you are an advanced kite surfer, you’ll love the constant strong wind, flat water, waves, and the luxury starting and finishing your session off a catamaran. Get Foiling! There is no where better to learn to kite-foil then from behind the catamaran, where the water is flat and deep. The crew can give you coaching and rescue service. There is currently one foil-board onboard available for you to use.

Getting To The Yacht
Boracay Island is served by two airports on the Philippine mainland: Caticlan (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport), just a short boat ride from the island, or Kalibo International Airport, roughly 1.5–2 hours away by land plus a short boat crossing. Both airports have regular domestic flights from Manila and Cebu, and Kalibo also receives some direct international charters/seasonal flights. From either airport, it's a short boat transfer across to Boracay itself.
Boracay has accommodation for every budget, from backpacker guesthouses to five-star resorts, concentrated mainly along White Beach — the island's main strip, lined with hotels, restaurants, and bars. We'd recommend booking a night or two on Boracay before and after your safari, both to enjoy the island itself and to give yourself a buffer against flight delays before boarding.
Meeting the yacht: We meet you right on Boracay White Beach — no marina, no complicated transfers. You'll be picked up from the beach at the start of your trip and dropped back off there at 4:00pm on the final day, so you can simply walk off the boat and back into your hotel.

FAQ
Will I get Seasick? Generally, no. People don’t get seasick while on Siriya. When sailing a catamaran roles very little compared to normal sail boats or ferry. When we anchor, we are in an area sheltered from waves, so Siriya moves even less. Having said this, if you know you are prone to seasickness, start taking tablets one day before starting your kite safari.
No wind days? Not really, but very very occasionally during the North East monsoon season, (November to mid-April) there can be light wind days. Don’t worry, take the opportunity to try foilboarding. Also we still have plenty of toys to play with onboard out luxury catamaran, SUP boards, Giant SUP, Snorkeling, Hookah diving.
I am not a Kitesurfer, can I still come? Yes, you’ll still have an amazing time. Explore the islands, chill on the boat, go swimming, snorkeling or paddling. There is always something to do.
What do to before and after?
Boracay is worth building in a day or two on either side of your safari — you're already there for pickup/drop-off, and the island has plenty to fill the time.
Before: Settle in, get over any jet lag, and enjoy White Beach itself — it's one of the world's most famous beaches, lined with restaurants, beach bars, and shops. Popular things to do include island-hopping tours to nearby snorkeling spots, a sunset sail on a traditional paraw sailboat, or a day trip inland to the Nabaklaya viewpoint or Puka Shell Beach on the island's quieter north side. It's also the easiest place to sort out any last-minute gear.
After: After a week of early mornings and full days on the water, Boracay is an easy place to decompress before flying home — good food, beach bars, spas, and nightlife around D'Mall and Station 2 if you're up for it, or just another day or two doing nothing on the sand.
Meeting point either way: We pick you up and drop you off right on Boracay White Beach, so there's no separate transfer to arrange — just make your way to the island and we'll handle the rest.
Equipment Rental
Optional equipment rental is available for guests who'd rather not bring their own gear — kites (all sizes, 6m²/9m²/12m²), twintip boards, kite foil boards, and wing foil setups can all be arranged. Just let us know what you need when booking.
Coaching
The captain doubles as your kite instructor and can give tips on riding and tricks throughout the trip. If dedicated, structured coaching is wanted, plenty of professional instructors are available in Boracay — happy to help find one to bring along.
Hotel Accommodations
We recommend kitesurfing guests stay at Bulabog Beach before and after the trip — it's Boracay's dedicated kiteboarding hub (often called the top kite spot in Asia), quieter than the White Beach strip, and lets you get in extra sessions independently outside the safari dates. A few good options right on Bulabog:
- Hangin Kite Center & Resort — the Philippines' first kitesurf center (since 2002), IKO/VDWS certified, rooms, lessons, and gear rental on-site.
- Isla Kitesurfing Guesthouse — beachfront, rooms built into the kite center itself, in-house bar/restaurant, still close to D'Mall and White Beach.
- Aqua Boracay — higher-end beachfront stay directly on Bulabog.
- Freestyle Academy — 3-star hotel with its own kitesurfing school and facilities on-site.
We still pick up and drop off at White Beach for the safari itself, but Bulabog is a short, easy trip across the island either side of your trip.
