GC:LUXURY 5 Things To Do In Boracay
I find it weird and funny when my friends abroad would ask me where the Philippines is, saying that they don’t know much about my country. And the moment I started talking about Boracay, they would all nod in unison and say in chorus “oh the famous Boracay island!” It’s good to know that foreigners have envisioned the Philippines (or at least Boracay) as a paradise. Aside from attracting tourists across the globe, Boracay has given the Philippines numerous awards and recognitions. Earlier this year, White Beach, Boracay placed 2nd in Condé Nast Traveler’s 25 Best Island Beaches in the World: Readers’ Choice Awards in 2020.
How to get to Boracay from Manila
Boracay is a small island situated in the central Philippines. Among the 7,107 islands of the Philippines, Boracay emerged as the most famous and most frequented by tourists. It’s well-known for its white sand beach surrounded by palm trees with an energetic vibe. Whether you want to enjoy the calm waters or thrilling water activities, have a relaxing time alone, or enjoy the nightlife, Boracay has something to offer to you. Here are the 5 things you can do in Boracay.
What better way of getting to know marine life than by joining the sea creatures underwater? Helmet diving is a must-try water activity in Boracay. It lets tourists go down deep into the ocean, enough to meet Nemo and other creatures. And the best part is that there is no need to be an expert swimmer or an experienced diver. Just put the helmet on and you are on your way to a beautiful marine world.
The fastest route from Manila to Boracay is via air travel. You can opt either for Kalibo or Caticlan airport (also known as Boracay airport). Flight to Kalibo is cheaper and would take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and 2 hours boat travel to reach Boracay. Flights from Manila to Caticlan are almost the same but only 30 minutes of boat travel to get into the beautiful Boracay island.
