Boracay Island Favorites

Favorite thing: Not only can you buy all kinds of meats, cheeses and imported products, you can also eat a deli lunch at Heidiland (there are tables outside) or have them arrange a picnic to take to the beach or on a boat trip. A little overpriced, but lots to choose from.

Favorite thing: There are many people on the beach trying to sell water activities. Make sure that you bring the price as low as you can and also request to have more time alotted to the activity. For example, for a 3 hour island hopping tour quoted at 1500 pesos, we got it down to 1000 pesos for 4 hours (This price was split among 5 people)!

Favorite thing: The island is beautiful!
I like it best in the morning when I can appreciate the sun, the water, the place..

When the moon is up, Boracay is a very romantic place.. the sky is filled w/ stars..
The fishermans' lanterns at the sea are like fireflies all over.. its just wonderful.

The parties all night are kinda too much.. I gotta get my night sleep too!

Fondest memory: the crystal clear water, the waves around 1030am, in the middle of the water me and my BF!
P...E....R...F....E....C....T...!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite thing: Bought some nice quality T-shirt including one that says "Life is a beach".

Also many colorful painted wooden fridge magnets of different coral fishes.

Personally, I feel that I should avoid buying corals or products made from seashell as this would deplete the sea resources faster than it can recover.

Undoubtedly most of the souvenir are made from other parts of Philippines for "Boracay".

Favorite thing: While waiting at Caticlan Airport for our flight back to Cebu, we standby their souvenir shops where we had some refreshments. We also bought some shirts that have Boracay prints for our love ones back home as pasalubongs. You will not get fidgetty waiting for your flight coz there are so many knick knacks to see. Some food specialties are also available.

Fondest memory: Fine, white sand beaches. Clear and pristine waters. Fabulous Nightlife.

Favorite thing: As almost all passengers have to wade through the water to get to the boats or back to shore, patent-leather boots and well-pressed long trousers are definitely not the things to wear. As a general rule it's a good idea to pack everything as watertight as possible, eg in a plastic rubbish bag.

Fondest memory: Long, White Fine Sandy Beaches.

Favorite thing: I was so amazed when I saw a lot of starfish in the waters near crocodile island. If you go boating, this is one of the places included in the tour (particularly during habagat season). The starfish was so abundant in this area. I was able to count more than 10 in one location only. The water is so calm in this part of the island during habagat season and there is not much effort needed swimming.

Favorite thing: you got to feed the school of fish, you got to snorkel and see the wonders of the deep blue blue sea...before you engage in anything that involves money, please ask around first and compare prices..and of course, bargain bargain bargain....hire a boat that would take you to the spot where you could feed the fish and snorkel..then you could tour around the boracay island...

Fondest memory: the best is when dusk came and i just lied down in the beach.....the sand is soooo fine..better believe me, coz a friend even tried tasting it if it would taste like "polvoron", that's how fine it is......
