First-Timer's Guide To Visiting Boracay

The gorgeous beaches, clear waters, scenery, tropical climate, and first-rate accommodations in Boracay Island are just some of the reasons that make this place one of the most visited holiday destinations in Asia.

If you are planning to visit Boracay for the first time, keep in mind these few reminders and tips for a safe and fun holiday experience.

Book your airline and hotel reservation ahead of time.

This is important. Many tourists spend their holidays on the island year-round. Secure plane tickets and a hotel in Boracay months before your desired travel dates. This gives you enough time to look for better offers, promos, and most of all to avoid the peak season rush and high rates that come with it.

Pack smart. Pack light.

Don't pack as if you're going to spend a month on the island. Bring the essential beach items such as t-shirts, underwear, flip-flops, swimwear, and your sunblock. Travel light so it won't be difficult for you to explore the island and also to avoid wasting time on security inspection and money on fees for excess baggage.

Inquire about transfer services.

Most hotels and resorts in Boracay offer boat transfers to and from the island to Caticlan, as well as van services, so make sure you ask about these on your initial hotel hunting inquiries.

Dine in delight.

Boracay offers most of the conveniences you'll find in a city, which includes a myriad dining option. Fastfood chains and gourmet brands like Yellow Cab, Cyma, and Starbucks can now be found on the island. You'll also find local eateries and stalls offering fresh seafood dishes, tasty desserts, and everything in between.

Get around easily.

The main modes of transportation in Boracay are tricycles, which you can hail anywhere in Boracay's main roads. You can also go D'Mall where you can ride a tricycle in front of the small grocery called Budget Mart.

Party and have fun.

It's a known fact that aside from relaxing and indulging in different water sports activities, people come here because they want to experience partying Boracay-style. The island is teeming with party hotspots where you can enjoy dancing and drinking the night away. If it's your first time here it is better if you are with a group of friends, and in a place near your hotel. Just remember to keep the drinking to a minimum, avoid trouble, and do not accept casual invitations from people you just met.

Always keep your valuables safe.

Especially phones, wallets, and plain tickets. There are banks with ATMs on the island so don't bring too much cash when out partying or hitting the beaches. Some hotels have in-room safe where you can stash your important items.
