๐ต๐ญ Boracay's Sunset Will Absolutely Amaze You! ๐
I thought Boracay would be overly commercialized, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The white, powdery sand is incredibly beautiful, and the sunset views are truly unforgettable โ a memory that will stay with me forever. We flew from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, via Manila to Caticlan, then took a boat to Boracay. After arriving, we booked a van transfer from the port to our hotel through Klook. Although the journey was long, it was totally worth it! โ๏ธโด๏ธ ๐ก Travel Tips: ๐ซ For budget travelers: Compare flight prices. Sometimes flying to Kalibo (instead of Caticlan) from Manila is cheaper. Though itโs a longer ride, it can save you money. ๐ค Consider combo transfers (boat + van) available on Klook or locally for better deals. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง If traveling with kids, try to book daytime flights for smoother connections and less fatigue. ๐ฝ๏ธ The island has many restaurants โ donโt miss local food stalls! Cheap and delicious. Highly recommend Jonahโs Fruit Shake ๐นโ affordable and refreshing! We stayed at a hotel in Station 2 with direct beach access from the back. However, the area gets quite dark at night, so itโs safer and livelier to enter the beach via the main road through DโMall. ๐ Must-Try: Cocomama & Jonahโs Fruit Shake & Snack Bar โ you canโt miss these! ๐คฟ Diving Experience: We chose a smaller dive shop โ Fisheye Divers Boracay, near our hotel. Though small, it was well-equipped and offered great service. I dived with dive master Toni, and instructor Roy was incredibly attentive ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ. Once, I almost got stung by a nearly invisible jellyfish, but Roy quickly pushed me away โ lifesaver! He also prepared a special ointment for my previous sting โ so thoughtful! ๐ฌ Tip: Many dive staff earn low wages and support families. If you receive good service, consider tipping โ it means a lot to them. On non-diving days, Roy introduced us to a friend โ a former dive instructor who now does island tours โ to make sure we werenโt overcharged. He arranged island hopping for us and was very kind and reliable ๐๏ธ๐. ๐ Safety Tip: Remember to bring anti-sting cream or wear a stinger suit to avoid jellyfish encounters. Better safe than sorry! Overall, Boracayโs beach is stunningly white and beautiful. Though a bit commercialized, the sunsets are absolutely magical and totally worth it ๐ดโค๏ธ. Even if youโre traveling with kids or on a budget, with good planning, you can have a beautiful and meaningful trip! #Boracay #PhilippinesTravel #IslandLife #SunsetLovers #Diving #BudgetTravel #TravelTips
