Everyone is dreaming to spend
their vacation in the best beach in the world, Boracay Island. It is known for white sand beaches and leisure
activities like; scuba diving, helmet diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, kiteboarding,
parasailing, and water sport rides. It is among the most beautiful beaches in
the Philippines. In fact, Boracay Island was awarded as the best island in the
world in 2012.
This small island is located at the Northwest of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines.
It was developed among the best travel
destination for relaxation and nightlife. It is also one competitive venue for
the Asian Windsurfing Tour. The white beach is well known beach on the island
–it is about four kilometres long. There are various establishment likes
resorts, hotels, lodging houses, and restaurant.
Beforehand, this island is included
in the to-do list of a traveller like me. I am glad that I was able to visit
here. The original plan, actually, was to join the Ati-atihan Festival in Aklan
and sidetrip on Boracay Island. The plan
was changed because when I make some inquiries for reservation all Inn and
hotels are fully booked. I was so frustrated!
So, hello Boracay Island…
It was my first time on Boracay Island
and so with my travel buddy, both of us have no idea on what to do. Since, I
was appointed to make our itinerary. I stumble upon on a different blogs to have
learned interesting activities.
Things
to do:
Fire Dance: The evenings on Boracay beach offer shows and
entertained tourist like cultural dancing, live band or acoustic singer, and
the most interesting is the Fire Dance.
Island Hopping: The Island is home of undeveloped beaches, crystal
and turquoise waters, and colourful coral reefs. So, your adventure will not be
completed if you did not do this!
Explore White Beach: Boracay
is known for famous white beach with crystal clear water and fine white sand.
So, discover the beauty of four kilometres white beach. You can jog/run in the
morning or in the afternoon. Walking with your bare foot, sun bathing and then,
watch sunset!
Puka Beach: If you want to escape from the busy and crowded Boracay
station from 1, 2, and 3. Then, Puka Beach is good for you! It is a peaceful
stretch of white sand in the northern tip of the island. The sand is not as
fine as white beach. You can hire a tricycle to take you there.
Snorkeling: Take a glance of the thriving sea life. But, sad to
say, we can’t see the beauty under the sea because the weather is not so good
due to the low pressure that hits Visayas and Mindanao. The water is not so
clear!
Pig-Out: There are several restaurants establishments around the
beach. We tried to consume in the street foods, which is very interesting,
Smoke Restaurant, and finally, I tried the Jonah’s Fruit Shake.
Other leisure activities are
mentioned above and other interesting pastimes are FlyFish, Banana Boat, ATV
car ride and buggy cart, Parasailing, Jetski, skim boarding and more.
Since, our flight was re-scheduled
and so we decided to join the last part of Ati-Atihan Festival. I am so glad
that we can still witness the festival. Next time, we will try the other
activities Boracay Island can offers. Lastly, we enjoyed the trip because of
the amazing scenery. Happy travelling!

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, Linda!
DeleteI'd rather go for the food. Not a fan of beaches.
ReplyDeleteI love food, too! :D
DeleteWe stayed at Station 3, sir. Tahimik at di crowded doon. :)
ReplyDeletegaya ni manong unyol, di ko rin trip ang crowded beach, so if ever pupuntahan ko na ang boracay, sched ko siguro during lean season, kung meron ba nun dun, para kaseng lagi syang matao eh. :)
ReplyDeleteMatao nga siya kaya nga doon kami sa station 3 nagstay kasi di siya masyado crowded. Saka, may beach doon na pwede mo puntahan na hindi masyadong pinupuntahan. Yong Puka beach! Kaya, go na! Haha
DeleteWow. Looks like a great place. Stunning beaches and good food. Who can ask for more?
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful! Thanks, Lady Lilith!
