What to do at Base Camp

Off Boracay Base Camp

The Mainland adventures basecamp started as a project of passion with a few small huts in the jungle on a meandering river.

Have you ever been a part of something so wonderful that you had to share? For many years our carefully curated natural environs served as a private retreat; being able to enjoy areas outside of Boracay, as well as the island itself was absolutely wonderful.

The retreat slowly grew through the challenges of living in the jungle; until base camp came to be the relaxing nature & adventure retreat that it is today.

The Immediately local environment

Base camp sits on a quiet river which hosts several types of fresh-water marine life; most of which you can find snorkeling on a sunny afternoon. Tall stands of coconut trees surround the camp, and the inside area is grassy and flat. The grounds are easily enjoyable for both young and old. Speckled within the grounds are several one, two and three-floor natural bamboo structures.

These are commonly referred to as huts, but that doesn’t really suit what our structures are. The “huts” have been carefully constructed by some of the best local craftsmen and artists. They were built using nearly 100% local, natural building materials. You won’t find a rusty tin shed roof, piles of rope and walls constructed from cheap, flimsy modern materials at base camp. Metro Filipinos and overseas travelers alike often find something beautifully primitive and peaceful about staying here. If you’re wondering what to do in Boracay, leaving the island for base camp is seriously worth a try!
