Travel Blogs from Boracay, Philippines
Last hurrah in Asia
This is a top pick! ... 'd had a chance to take a train as well then we would have taken just about every form of non-animal transport in the Philippines! Despite the bit of an ordeal getting here, it was totally worth it; this place is absolutely gorgeous! Boracay has ...
Island Life
This is a top pick! On occasion, you take a picture and the light is just how you'd like it and the subject comes out perfectly...this picture represents island life here in the Philipiines to me - the beauty of the islands is seen in the mixture of color and light and ...
Rainy Beach Paradise
This is a top pick! By just about any measure, Boracay is the number one beach destination in the Philippines. Although we’ve developed a certain beach expertise (and I think we still have that beach walk swagger) from our stay in the south of Thailand, we were heading ...
Cancun of Asia
This is a top pick! Boracay is an island in the west of the Philippines and is THE beach destination in the Philippines. They say when you meet any Filipino they will always say "you must go to Boracay". So, I flew off to Boracay from Cebu on a tiny little bubble of an ...
Filipino Fillip
This is a top pick! ... a traveling support team (two nurses and a doctor) to look after Ami and allow John and Carol to have a real holiday. Boracay island is a holiday destination well known to Filipinos and kite surfing types but not on the western tourist map yet. ...
Sand in the cracks
This is a top pick! So many things about our arrival on the island of Boracay should have made us squeal with excitement. Our first ride in a trike, piled in with our bags under our feet, clinging on for dear life as we tore through the streets choking on the petrol fumes; ...
The boy in the bubble.
This is a top pick! Boracay, Philippines - In many respects, this is my ideal of hell. Loud music, loud people, excessive drinking and not being able to hear anyone talk so I normally find any excuse to leave and go back to sleep. I spoke to a few people before I travelled ...
Best Beach in the World?
This is a top pick! ... we wandered around at 3.00 in the morning trying to find a place that we could sleep. The next morning we caught a boat to Boracay. This island is supposed to have some of the best beaches in the world. Personally I think if a beach does not have surf it ...
Boracay Rum
... is that travelling there is pretty straightforward, the places pick themselves for the most part and they follow a basic sensible route. The Philippines on the other hand looks like someone had a curry then took a shit next to Malaysia. In short it's not ...
The Philippines- got $20,000? You're a millionaire
... 830 am classes and roll in all tanned with our bags, and were just like, "sorry, just got back from the Philippines" pretty baller. Epilogue Pat has been in bed for 48 hours straight since getting back, dinner last night was the first ...
Yapoldo & I are the only ones working!!!
Up at 7AM for Nescafe and breakfast at the hotel, Orchid's in case you've forgotten. :) Ricky showed up at 7:30 to pick up the 12V battery we borrowed to have it charged and ready for the boat. I thought I was going to transfer some points ...
Boracay Bohnanza
... after living in sleepy Cabanatuan for two months, I was ready for some beach and party time, and I had heard that Boracay was the best place in the Philippines for this. That said, it rained, and then it rained again, and then, just to change things up a ...
Kicking back in Boracay
Had a great couple of days in Boracay with Hanne and a crew of 9 or so; we chartered a boat on Monday to go island hopping and snorkelling in crystal clear waters, then had lunch in a beautiful little cove on the other side of the island. A group of ...
New Methods
Awake at 6:30AM. Kinda tired! Journaled until 7:30, then Nescafe, mango juice, muesli and yoghurt for breakfast. Chad at Blue Mango suggested hiring a yacht to do our surveys, but I think he also may not have understood how much help ...
Fun in the Sun
Before we go for an early morning swim, we decided to hunt for a place for good breakfast. There's so many to choose from but I craved for tapsilog - a typical Filipino big breakfast of beef, fried rice and egg. So we went to this nice and small cafe on ...
Why wont they leave us alone
... you might see in the likes of Tenerife but without the gangs of drunken English and Irish falling about the place. Apparently Boracay is big with the Japanese and South Koreans who are fairly harmless and just keep to themselves in small groups, not much ...
Boracay
So for a week before school we took a trip to this island called Boracay. I can say with complete sincerity that this was the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. I had no idea that places this beautiful existed. You will see in the pictures. We ...
Atoms As Old As Stars...
Awake to roosters [duh!] at 6:45AM. Out of bed at 7:15 after journaling for some Nescafe coffee and an "American Breakfast" at Orchid's. Julius was actually early and for once, we weren't ready when he arrived! We boarded the boat at ...
Boracay
Now as it was a few days before Christmas it was time to move to Boracay, the premier destination in the Philippines. So after another boat, bus, boat and boat we were there. We shared one of the buses with almost as many animals as people, but it was ...
Silver Linings: Boracay
... an island hopping sailing tour, which did not match our boat trip experience in Bohol, due to the money hungry tour guides in Boracay. This is why popular tourist spots do not appeal to me, especially after hearing all the stories from Jopee about ...
Silicone City
... I think. After work, we showered up and headed to dinner at 6:30 with Trevor & Ellie for their last night in Boracay. We casually walked down to Summer Place for Mongolian BBQ on the beach [everything is on the beach] and enjoyed a native ...
It's Boracay Baby! (22.5-29.5)
... nicht nachgefragt , waere ich ohne mein Equipment zu kontrollieren direkt ins Meer gehuepft. Vom Buddycheck mal ganz abzusehen :D. Weil Boracay nicht gerade das beste Tauchgebiet ist, aber ich dennoch tauchen wollte, habe ich mich entschlossen einen der 5 ...
To the old man
... so you'll be pleased to hear this should be a rather short entry. Okay, where was I?... Tues 4th Oct I caught a flight to Boracay (tiny touristy island) and was amazed. Not, I'm afraid, at the beautiful, 2km long beach and crystal clear water, but at ...
I refuse to sing Karaoke!
... on all the weird and wonderful beers we've been discovering along the way. So far we've had Lang Kwai beer in Hong Kong(Very poor), Tsing Tao beer in Macau(Okay) and San Miguel(Nice) in the Philippines which is pretty much what everyone drinks here. ...
Red Like A Tomato!
... nope, a plastic BAG!! haha, I forgot to mention that. I would say my Dad is not yet accustomed to being in the Philippines - he makes jokes people don't get and I feel like he expects certain things to exist [like plastic or paper cups] just because ...
Experience Philippines
... Business Conference. It was such a great time, its was my first time to meet my colleagues from other places here in the Philippines. I only knew them by name, because we normally transact business through phone but i never met them until this ...

The long way to Boracay
... of the bag and let out a little cackle - mystery resolved! Later on Sunday Shariff's and my paths parted, as I headed off to Boracay to catch up with Hanne and her friends for a few days of fun, and make the most of the lovely beachside apartment Hanne ...
Research Test Day
Hot, sweaty sheets after my sleep. A mosquito buzzed my ear all night, so I slept covered up. Awake at 7:30AM. Started the day with breakfast at English Bakery. Yoghurt [they spell it with an "h", as they do "rhum"] with fruit and ...
