It's more fun in Boracay

One of the best summer getaway here in the Philippines is the Boracay Island. It is one of the famous tourist destination and in fact it is currently holding the title as the world's second best beach. Accordingly, the name Boracay was derive from the word "borac" which means white cotton because of its white powdery sand.


Boracay is an Island in the Western Visayas which is  under the administrative control of the Philippine Tourism Authority in coordination with the Provincial Government of Aklan. It has a total land area of 10.32 square kilometers. It was believe that boracay was home of the Ati Tribe. But by 1990s, the beaches was developed and become a popular tourist destination up to this day.

How to go to Boracay?

From Manila, you can catch up flights going to Caticlan or via Kalibo. When in Kalibo, there are available buses or vans for the tourist going to pier. I haven't tried Caticlan but I am sure there are available vehicles that would take you to the pier station. It take us about two (2) hours from the Kalibo airport to the pier station. Its far but you get the chance to look around Kalibo. For first timers, I recommend to stop by Kalibo and see the beauty within.

From the pier station, there are available boat going to the Boracay Island. 

The Beach

Boracay is known for its beautiful beach. We stayed at the  La Carmela de boracay resort but there are also a lot of resorts within Station 2 which you can choose to stay. A lot of activities you can do when you're in Boracay. You can have Island hopping, snorkeling, scuba diving, helmet diving and a lot more. For the food, if you are into tight budget, there are affordable food counters like Mang Inasal, Andoks, eat-all-you can buffets and other food stores no space to mention here. At night, there are live bands, fire dancing and bar parties.
