Boracay is considered as one of the nature’s wonders is a perfect getaway, with its warm blue waters, powder-fine white sand, and a palm fringed 4-kilometer beach. This world-famous island is located in the province of Aklan, 345 kilometers South of Manila. Boracay is accessible by air from Manila through Caticlan or Kalibo airports.

At Boracay you can enjoy from different activities that suits your budget. Few of which are below:

Island Tour Hopping – This is the most popular activity to do in Boracay. Local bancas are available for this cruise, this includes a stop at Crystal Cove where you can explore two amazing caves you can swim in and relax. Another stop is at Ilig-iligan beach where you can come close to the fishes through snorkeling.

Helmet Diving – This one is good for those who are not swimmers, this activity allows you to climb down a ladder until the water is at your shoulder, once in this position a helmet is place over your head, and you will then again climb down until you reach the ocean floor. This one is a wonderful excursion with the island’s close-up view of the underwater life.

There a lot of activities you can enjoy at the island such as wind surfing, banana boat, kite boarding, Jet Ski and scuba diving among others.

Whoaaaaaaa! So much fun await you at Boracay but for those who don’t have that much money this fun fun fun activities in Boracay may remain just a wish or a dream.  Don’t lose hope, I was there and indeed had so much fun with my husband.

Visiting Boracay doesn't mean expensive and only for the ELITE. I knew it because I went there for three nights and two days. Here’s how:

Timing – the best time to visit Boracay is at its off season, sometime on July to mid of December. During this period almost everything in the island is at its 50% off. Besides you can cherish the moment as if you owned the island since there are few of you enjoying the beach.

Take advantage of the promo – Over the net there are a lot of promotional offers, you just have to be resourceful. For instance, you can avail a round trip airfare ranging from 4000 to 5000 pesos for two pax from Manila to Kalibo and a room accommodation of 3000 pesos for three nights for two persons. Fair enough, right?

Deal with the locals – Not all people in the island are business driven, there are kind hearted locals who are more than willing to guide you and lend their banca’s for island hopping for a very minimal fee. You can actually go straight to Ilig-iligan beach and enjoy unlimited time snorkeling by riding in a motorcycle for just 100 pesos from your hotel.

Food – foods in the island could be expensive or economical. If you opted to dine in the nearby 3 star hotel then definitely it would be expensive! But you can opt to dine in fast food chains like Jollibee, Chow king or Mang Inasal then you’ll save a lot for a more fun activity. You can even try the lutong bahay which ranges from 40 to 60 pesos, very affordable, right?

Transportation – transferring from one place to another in Boracay isn’t a problem at all as there are many motorcycles, tricycles and jeepneys 24/7. Small ferries are available for as low as 25 pesos. Van and busses are also available off Caticlan to Kalibo International airport at 150 to 200 per pax for about one hour and 45 minutes.

Travelling should be fun and need not be that expensive! Hope you too can visit Boracay soon as we are excited for our next stop to either Palawan or Singapore!
