What Happens In Boracay...

Boracay is one of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines both for local and foreign tourist. When we talk about beaches, Boracay always comes into mind. It is actually a small island in the northern tip of Panay Island. You can get to Boracay in by two major ways:

By Plane: Local airlines like Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Zest Air, & Air Asia have their routine flight schedules through accessible airports to Boracay. 

1. Through Caticlan Airport - this airport is the nearest one to Boracay Island. The airport is rather smaller than most airports and usually, also small airplanes charter here. It is approximately 8-10 mins away from Boracay Island. From there, you can ride a tricycle to Jetty Port, then another boat ride from the port to Boracay Island, which is only minutes away.

2. Through Kalibo Airport - this airport is a bigger one but is approximately 90 mins away from Jetty Port. There are buses and vans outside the airport that can take you to Jetty Port.

By Sea/Land: From Batangas Port you can ride a RORO boat that will take you to Boracay Island. Or you can opt to ride a bus from terminals in Manila (Cubao/Pasay) that will also go straight to Boracay through RORO also.

Once you reach Boracay Ports, you can ride a tricycle or multicabs to take you on your hotel/resort. It's better if you have reservations when going to Boracay. Also make sure that you agree with the price fares of the local transportation. They usually charge more for those who look like foreigners. Boracay is a place for those who seek adventure and romantic escapes. This time we are on an adventure with friends. Our first activity was to stroll along the shoreline and enjoy the captivating beach with fine white sands.

Next, we tried the Helmet Diving. It is a diving experience wherein you are to put a special helmet and descend almost 50 feet in the sea floor. There, you can have an encounter with the different colorful fishes. But before the dive, you will be taught some pointers and tips. Person's with high blood pressure and other related disabilities will not be allowed to participate in the dive.

Then, we tried some of the water recreation activities.
