February 5 to 7, 2020 (Wednesday to Friday) in Aklan, Philippines
My 27th family outing initiated and of course, usual budget do-it-yourself itinerary from arrival to departure. This trip also served as my 4th tour-visit in the famous white beach in the world (Dec. 2011, Jun. 2013 and Jul. 2016). Please take note that advance hotel booking is necessary on this island. My Boracay 1st visit was via RORO from Batangas Port (Dec. 2011), 2nd visit was via flight to Roxas city (Jun. 2013), 3rd visit was via Go Ferry from Batangas Port (Jul. 2016) and 4th visit (Feb. 2020) just now was via flight to Kalibo. I never used the Caticlan airport yet due to overpriced tickets #boracay
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BORACAY ISLAND
1. Boracay has been highly celebrated in the international media as one of the best islands and having one of the best beaches in the world.
2. White Beach (the most famous beach in Boracay – and one of top in the world), is a 4 kilometer span of uninterrupted white sugary sand that stretches along the western curve of the island, protected from most winds so the turquoise water is usually glassy calm
3. Boracay suffered from over-tourism and inherited a reputation for sleazy nightlife and major environmental concerns. The government closed the island for six months and the island underwent an extensive facelift. Since reopening in October 2018, there are new rules and regulations, and a limit to the number of tourists allowed on the island. You must have a hotel pre-booked before they will let you get on the boat to Boracay. There is no eating or drinking on the beach, no smoking, no fire dancing, and no commercial sandcastles.
