Any way, find things that will make your Boracay vacation relaxed!

With almost 30mins flight, we reached Caticlan Airport.







From Airport, ride a tricycle going to Jetty port.




In Jetty port, you have to pay their Terminal Fee, Environmental fee and boat ticket. Next destination your are heading is the Boracay port..

Upon reaching Boracay port, there are tricycles waiting for you! :) You can choose for what station you want to stay.

Station 1 - Private hotels (more expensive).
Station 2 - All things are easy access, near in restaurants most of all, beach front!
Station 3 - cheapest hotels can be found.

We chose Station 2. A hotel named JEJSELLENDS (owner's name combinations), accept our deal. It is not peak season that's why they can give us the minimum price of their rate. Usually checking-in time is 2:00 in the afternoon and should be out at 12nn on the next day. Excess hour/s of staying there will add to your bill.

At night, we enjoyed Boracay Peninsula Buffet. You should enjoy sea foods in Bora!




 After dinner, you can watch fire dance, buy pasalubong, explore Station 2 and  give reward to yourself: a whole body massage.. You'll be having a good sleep after that.

Day 2 will be your chance to have activities such as Parasailing, ATV (all terrain vehicle), helmet diving and island hoping. There are packages that may offer to you, but be wise on sales talk. The first offer that they give to us costs 700.00php which includes:

ATV : 400.00
Helmet Diving + CD  : 300.00
Free Tour
Total : 700.00

But searching for more economical cost of those activities, we found out that they can give it to their least.

ATV : 250.00
Helmet Diving + CD  : 250.00
Free Tour
Total : 500.00

And by this, we conquer the following:

ATV (all terrain vehicle)


Sky Cycle
Butterfly Museum
Helmet Diving

And after all these activities, you'll surely find yourself starving! And Hawaiian Barbecue is your rescue!

We enjoyed Bora!
