Just completed a 4 Days/3 Nights trip to beautiful Boracay Island. Here goes my recommendation
Recommendation and Tips
- Try to arrive at Caticlan aiport instead of Kalibo. 2-3 hours can easily be consumed while traveling from Kalibo to Caticlan jetty port where you will be taking a boat ride to the island. Caticlan airport is just 5 minutes ride to the port.
- We made end-to-end journey reservation from Kalibo airport to our resort via Southwest tour. It costs ~560 pesos per person. You could buy tickets on arrival as well.
- We loved station 2. Reserve a hotel that opens up to the beach. We chose Boracay Regency.
- Take a mat and lie down at the beach in night. You will not regret the view of the sky.
We loved Boracay Island for two reasons -
Phenomenal Sunsets and
Excellent White Sand. Both of these things made our journey quite memorable. Although, reaching Boracay Island is not so straightforward. From Singapore it could take anywhere from 9-11 hours (end-to-end time). So I feel that you should plan for at least 3 complete days to enjoy the beach.
There are lots of sports activities available in Boracay - you could go para sailing, island hopping, banana boat, snorkeling, sunset sailing etc. We did not do any of this as we have done all in some other trip. Just relax on the beach, take a dip in the water, drink and read a novel. Just destress ;)

Sand is pretty incredible - white in color, water color is unbelievable. Although the water had lots of moss at the shore. So we had to go a little more inside where there was less moss. But it is manageable. If you take a hotel that opens up at the beach then you could totally enjoy either the swimming pool of the hotel or the reclining benches at the beach. It is often said that Beach station 2 is crowded but it is also very close to the main activities and variety of restaurants. So we preferred station 2 compared to station 1.

I have never seen sunset offering unbelievable views day after day. It is a very pleasant view and each day we witnessed something different. You could also take a sunset sail boat offer but we had incredible view from the beach as well.

We had an incredible time and wished we had one more day. Never seen a sunrise thus far; so will plan to witness sunrise at some other place.

Oh wow! I am very happy to see your blog because I love to visit the beaches and islands. I always try to spend my holidays at this type of place because I love to do swimming, boating, scuba diving and viewing the spectacular sunset at the shore of the sea. The Boracay Island is looking very interesting. The images that you shared in your post are fabulous. I would love to visit it once in my life. Recently I came from new jersey to niagara falls tour. I enjoyed my trip very much. The views of Niagara Falls were incredible and mind blowing.
Sand mermaid looks cool. LOL I wanna be one too. it's good to know that you had a great time in Boracay. And hey, you should try the activities here on your next trip to Boracay.
