"Blast From The Past" BORACAY '09

Another Blast From The Past entry! To the beautiful island of Boracay! The very famous beach in the Philippines and please stop saying BORA, it's BORACAY ^^

Very late summer indeed, travel dates June 29 - July 1. Thanks for the good weather! Still summer! Our tickets cost almost 1k per pax (round trip) Manila to Caticlan via CebuPac, yes it's a promo (again). Thanks to CebuPac promo deals, now every Juan can fly ^^

 Arriving at Caticlan Airport, we just walked to the port and paid for environmental fee and terminal fee, then from Boracay Port we take the trikes to the White Beach (Station 2).

Villa Lourdes for our accomodation (very cheap), located at station 2. It is very easy to find, very near to D' Mall, souvenir shops and to the beach.


On our first day we went to Puka Beach, we take the trike going to Yapak for 100 bucks (2pax).

On our second day we have an early schedule for Reef Walking at Station 3. I've got Mang Beboy for the Reef Walking and Island Hopping Tour.

Reef walking cost 500php per pax, with additional 500php for the picture that was saved on a CD. Not bad for the underwater experience! 

Then we had our Island Tour with other tourist, we are in a big group!

The Island Hopping Tour includes touring to Puka Beach, Crystal Cove (entrance fee not included), snorkeling and lunch! I enjoyed the tour with the other tourist too ^^ fun fun fun!

I'm so happy that we were blessed with a good weather! 

Definitely Boracay is very lively at night! Boracay Party!

Last night in Boracay, chillin' at the beach!

After a tiring day, we still manage to buy pasalubongs then I heard to a woman that they received a notice from Cebu Pacific that their flight to Cebu will be in Kalibo instead of Caticlan, I also heard that there's problem with CebuPac's aircraft that would not operates in Caticlan. Panic mode! I haven't receive any notice, we head back immediately and I check my mobile phone and email. To my surprise, yes the flight will be in Kalibo! Travel time from Caticlan to Kalibo is 2 hours! Tsk! So we have to be ready for an early flight tomorrow though CebuPac provides a van transfer (they really should provide that!). Still this is a hassle for us!

And so our trip goes like that, catching early sunset in Boracay!

I think everybody loves Boracay, a true paradise! I would definitely be back here (if I can) ^^.
