About Crocodile Island
Crocodile Island is a small uninhabited islet located off the southern tip of Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan, Philippines. Named for its distinctive crocodile-like shape when viewed from a distance, it is known for its clear waters, coral reefs and marine life. Accessible only by boat, it is a popular stop on Boracay island-hopping tours for snorkeling, swimming and sightseeing, offering views of surrounding waters and nearby islets.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small rocky islet surrounded by clear turquoise water and coral reef, accessible only by outrigger boat as part of an island-hopping tour from Boracay. There is no beach development or permanent structures; the island itself is rocky and not typically landed upon. The main experience is from the water - snorkeling and swimming around the reef, viewing tropical fish and corals, and seeing the island's crocodile-like profile from the boat. The setting is open sea with views of Boracay and neighboring islets.
