Boracay,Philippines - A Reality Escape!

It’s actually my 3rd time in Boracay Philippines. This island is now one of the most popular vacation and tourist destinations. I’m not surprised as this place is like a paradise. The water is bluer than the sky and the sand is so pure that your feet will not burn when you walk barefooted under the sun.   Boracay never failed to relief me from reality, a truly world renounce weekend or holiday getaway.

Traveling

There’s not much fuss to travel to this beautiful island. You can either land to Caticlan Airport that is very near the port or to Kalibo International Airport of Aklan that requires two hours of traveling by land to get to the port. Thus, it’s a smooth two hours.  Few countries have a direct flight to Kalibo airport like Korea or China.  If not, you can just land and connect through Ninoy Aquino International airport which is the in the center of the Philippines, Manila.  All types of transportation's are available when you land,like the tricycles, service vans and the boat that will let you cross the sea.  The island is already a tourist spot so you are very welcome to experience the Boracay getaway.

Food

Of all the vacation spots Ive been, Boracay is the number one for its huge selection of food.  Here you can eat anything from sea foods, grilled, Korean, Chinese, Italian, French, Filipino and a lot more. The beach front is full of restaurants and hotels. They even have street foods. The ranges of selections are definitely unlimited from the type, kind and even the food that will suit your budget.

Night Life

Most of the people who never forgets Boracay never forgets its Nigh Life. Imagine yourself in a place full of bars, good music, and different types of Liquor while digging your toes into the sand! There’s a lot of happenings especially on its season.  Different types of music genre are also present so you will never be out of place in Boracay’s night life!

Things to expect from Boracay:

  • A lot of Koreans

  • A lot of Caucasian

  • People who will offer you things to do like water sports or ATV

  • Hang over!
