"Sandy Toes and Sunset Goals: Boracay Diary" 📖
#whitebeachboracay #travel #seascapes #parasailing #postandearn
Boracay is a small island in the central Philippines , famous for its white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and a lively resort atmosphere. Celebrating a birthday here? Even more unforgettable!
To make my stay more exciting, I went for island hopping and even tried parasailing - and that's just scratching the surface. There are so many things to do in Boracay. If you're lucky, you might even catch the famous fire dance at night. I did, and I happened to get a front row spot, which made it even more magical.
Getting there was pretty easy: I flew from Manila to Caticlan Airport. From the airport, I shared a tricycle ride to Caticlan port, which only cost Php50. If you prefer more privacy, you can hire the trike for yourself, but it'll cost a bit more. Tricycles are great for short distances, while van transfers offer more comfort - especially if you're carrying a lot of luggage or traveling in a group. The ride from the airport to the port takes just around 5-10 minutes.
From Caticlan Port, I took a ferry to Boracay. To enter the island, you'll need to pay the following fees:
> Environmental Fee: Php 300 for foreign tourists
> Terminal Fee: Php150
> Ferry/Boat Ticket (Pump boat): Php50
These fees are usually paid to different personnel at the jetty port before boarding the ferry. Once you arrive on the island, you can fake another tricycle or van to your accommodation - the cost depends on your chosen mode of transportation.
Overall, the journey is smooth and totally worth it. Boracay's charm, from its vibrant sunsets to its laidback island vibe, is the memorable birthday escape. 💙🌊
