LARUYLARUY SINTA GOES TO BORACAY!!!

I’ve heard so much about Boracay as one of the beautiful destination and most visited place here in Philippines.

Honestly I never envisage of going to Boracay. Why??? Thinking of going there is very expensive plus the fact that it was shown in the news that the place was already polluted. I have my own dream destination.

I considered myself lucky for I became a part of the media to join the Boracay Global Press Corps Philippines who opens the opportunity of going to Boracay for free???hehehe.

THE TRIP

Just what I’ve thought the fare was expensive. We don’t have enough time to avail early booking flight. The route was Davao – Manila; Manila to Caticlan. From Caticlan airport certain fees to arrange like environmental fee,transportation fee, port fee and vehicle fee. Ride with tricycle that will bring to port, from port ride with bangca (boat) that will bring you to Boracay Island either at the front or at the back depends on the wave. Then you can take multicab, tricycle or even walk if your accommodation is near at the port.

THE TOUR

Snorkeling with the colorful fishes and sea urchin of bora.hahaha
Wow, you got so many adventures and tours to choose depending on your budget and trip. Like luxury sailing,island hopping,fishing adventure, scuba diving, tornado jet boat, boracay sunset cruise, kayak island hopping, go karts, segway island adventure, zipline zorb combo, so many spa and so many to mention whew…(ang dami,sobra). So we chose island hopping and negotiate it at 1,500 for 6 of us. 

First stop was snorkeling, you have to rent the gadgets at 100 pesos each plus  20 pesos for the snorkeling fee. You will enjoy it when you have your bread with you to throw at the fishes. Time consume was an hour but it depends on you how long would you like to stay snorkeling.
The Crystal Cove Island

Second stop, Crystal Cove Island with 200 pesos per head entrance fee. We skipped that tour for we are on a limited budget, sad to say that but its acceptable.hehehe…

Third stop I can’t barely recall it for am not listening to our tour guide…hahahha…I am fascinated with the scenic views of Boracay. The supposed to be last stop was Puka Beach where you can buy some pasalubong like puka shell rosary and accessories. Puka beach was not passable, huge wave.

Shopping galore
SHOPPING

Enjoy your shopping at D’Mall where you can buy your pasalubong like hand painted shirt of Lonely Planet Shop, pearls and lots of accessories. Food trip is also a must. Just walk around and explore the place and learn to bargain, hehehe…

ACCOMODATION

There are plenty of hotels to choose from. Boracay EcoVillage Resort & Convention Place is far from the civilization of Boracay but mind you the place is perfect. Very nice and accommodating attendants. A very big thanks to Sir  Juan P. Dayang, PAPI President for the accommodation.
Boracay EcoVillage Resort, too far but its beautiful.

TIPS
1.      Plan your trip for you to avail lowest airfare.
2.      Must travel light.
3.   Ask friends who happens to visit Boracay, or even check online blog and    website.
4.     Be prepared for loads of fees.
5.   The best month to be in Boracay is December and summer. Low season start at June 1 to October 31 and peak season is November 1 – May 31.
My way going back to Manila.


Enjoy Boracay!!!
