Think dream trip
like famed island #Boracay in the #Philippines is totally out of reach? I’m not going to lie,
Boracay is a pretty expensive place, but like everywhere else, there are #affordable ways
to get around it. Here’s my travel guide and low-cost tips that will help you
get on your way.
How to get there
From Manila there are
several flights daily from Manila airport to Caticlan Airport or Kalibo
Airport. From Caticlan airport it is a 15 minute bus ride to Caticlan Jetty
Port followed by 15 minute boat ride to Boracay Island’s Cagban Port and
another 15-20 minute land trip to the resorts in White Beach.
As for us, we
take the Kalibo Airport, it takes around 1.5 to 2 hours of travel time, bus or
van to Caticlan Jetty Port (Fare: Php 250 van with boat ride). Upon arrival at
the jetty port, proceed to the booths near the entrance to the building and
settle the Terminal Fee (Php 100) and Environmental Fee (Php75).
Inside the
port building, register, proceed to the Passenger Waiting Area, and wait for
the boarding announcement. You will dock either Cagban or Tambisaan Port.
Either way, there are tricycles waiting here that can take you to your hotel
that cost Php25 per ride.

of choices to have when you are looking for a cozy and comfortable

What to do
Basically, apart
from dancing or partying in Boracay, vacationers can enjoy sunbathing on the
powdery white sand of Boracay. For Adventure seekers, you can try watersports
such as flying fish, Parasailing, Helmet Diving, ATV ride to Mt.Luho,Island
Hopping, Standup Paddling or take a boat
ride to Ariel’s Point where they can face their fears and dive off of cliffs 5
meters, 8 meters, and 15 meters high.
