Foreigners who come to the Philippines consider their trip
incomplete without visiting Boracay.
This serene island of white beaches and diverse and exciting activities has put
Philippines on the world map in terms of tourism.
This island is ideal for both luxury tourists and those who
travel on a tight budget. Top class hotels provide the elegance and comfort
that people with money seek while there abounds hostels and dormitories for
those who prefer to spend less.
How to Reach Boracay
For our readers whose travels have not yet brought them to
this fantastic island, Boracay is accessible from Manila, the capital city of
the Philippines, by land, by sea, or by air.
Roll-on and roll-off buses leave from Manila every few
minutes. From the bus terminal in Pasay, it will take you around 10 hours to be
in Caticlan and from Caticlan, it’s only 15 minutes to Boracay.
You can take the airplane from Ninoy Aquino International
Airport in Manila with Kalibo or Caticlan as your destination. Air fare is
cheaper for Kalibo-bound passengers that those for Caticlan. However, if you
land in Kalibo, it will take you around two hours to be in Boracay and an
additional expense of around P500. If you land in Caticlan, the port is just
walking distance but if you find it too tiring to walk, you can take a tricycle
to the port. You take the ferry to the island and once there, there are
tricycles to take you to your hotel.
