Boracay – Sun, Sand and Adventure

Boracay is a little island in the Visayas, just south of Manila in the Philippines. Boracay's azure waters, beautiful sun drenched white sandy beaches and its host of activities from partying, sunbathing and swimming to kiteboarding, parasailing, windsurfing and diving, will fully occupy even the most active person.  It’s also a great base camp to hop off for water and jungle adventures at nearby islands and lagoons.  And Boracay is one of top beach destinations in the world.

You land at Caticlan Airport (small aircraft) or at Kalibo Interantional, both on the nearby Panay Island. Then you’ll hop onto one of the boats at Caticlan jetty to get into Cagban on Boracay proper. And on Baracay, you will be spoiled for choice for accommodation.

There is the White Beach stretch which is subdivided into 3 stations. Station 1 is upscale, Station 2 the most happening and Station 3 for the reflective mind.  On the northen end of Boracay, Puka Beach sits isolated and is postcard perfect.  Bulabog Beach is the water sports beach on the opposite side of the island from White Beach.

For the adventurous, you can sign up for outrigger cruises to Angel’s Point on Panay to go cliff diving, boat paddling and jungle trekking on the Antiqe coast.  Or just take the many outrigger round island cruises for stopovers at the isolated and quiet beach spots on Boracay.  And while in Baracay, do try out the skimboarding!
