Life is a beach @ Boracay

Our Boracay trip last October 14 was one of the most unforgettable moment of my life. We've waited months for this trip for us to have enough time to prepare. For sure you'll ask on why October? Yeah, I prefer off peak because aside from the rooms are cheap, bora is not too crowded that time(but i was wrong, there are still many tourists that time both local and foreign.. haha). During the last few days before our bora trip, I really thought the trip won't push through because of the typhoon "Ramon" that hits central part of the Philippines. To tell you honestly, I totally panicked.LOL. But thank God, typhoon hits boracay 2 days before our trip.

Enough of that drama.. haha.. I'll give you the details on our tickets(plane), accomodation, fees, etc. to give you some idea if you're planning for a vacation at Boracay. Approximately, you can prepare prolly more or less 10K for 3days/2nyts stay. That already includes the plane ticket RT, accommodation, adventures and the meals. But if your budget is tight, you can stay at Station 3 where in there are cheaper accommodations. I believe it's i think around 800-1K pesos /nyt. And as for the transportation, you can ride a plane via Ilo-ilo, then another bus ride going to caticlan which I think it will take around 5-6 hrs.

For us, we prefer a plane ride both arriving and departing boracay simply because of the convenience. It took us only 45mins - 1hr ride from Cebu. From airport, you need to ride a tricycle(P50/pax) going to the jetty port. Upon reaching the jetty port, you need to pay the following fees:
                P25 - boat fare
                P75 - environmental fee
                P50 - terminal fee

It will only take 15-20 mins bangka ride from port to boracay island. And another tricycle ride to the boracay island proper.. and wahhhlaaahhh.. you're at the paradise.
With regards to our accommodation, we stayed at La Fiesta, a small resort located at Station 1. We only paid 1500/nyt (off peak rate). For more information, you can visit  myboracayguide.com
