Talking about paradise, Well, first of all most of my friend who visited Boracay some say its paradise and some say its not what they expected, So they are all have different views, So you cannot really say if you haven't saw it by your own eye. So I decided to visit this wonderful Island of Boracay, But Im on tight budget,
I'm a person who always look out for the best way to travel on budget, Well, I guess i just really cant afford, But it doesn't mean you cant go out and have a break. There is always a way how to manage your budget, and still have a best holiday.Would you like to visit boracay Island with your tight budget? Well don't worry, You can still do that with even with just a few pesos in your pocket.
1. Book your plane ticket ahead. Cebu pacific and Air Asia always do promo fare so before the summer start and would you like to have a break then you might start planning now and book your ticket. There is direct flight from Manila to Kalibo and from Kalibo you can ride a bus to Caticlan, Which is doesn’t cost a lot.and ferry from caticlan to Boracay Island. If you also travel in a peak season airfare sometimes can be so expensive so might consider traveling on low season which start on June to October. Forget the high season, You wont be able to enjoy the beach as its going to be really crowded. Hotel’s and airfare also can be so expensive at that time.
2. Land Travel. if your up for adventure you can try the land travel. You can ride a bus from manila to Caticlan although this could be a very long rides but if your up for it then go ahead
Buses- Manila to Caticlan,There are some bus companies in Cubao/Pasay which serves the Manila-Caticlan route. There is the Philtranco. The RORO boracay bus trip is a four-part travel. First, the two-hour bus ride from Cubao-Batangas Port. Then the 2-3 hours RORO to Calapan, Mindoro. Third stretch is another 2-3 hours land travel to Roxas Port, Mindoro. Last part is the 4-5 hours RORO to Caticlan Port. From there, you are just a 15-minute ferry-ride away from Boracay
By Private Cars,A RoRo (Roll On – Roll Off) vessel leaves Batangas daily at 8.30 AM to Calapan, Mindoro. From there, drive your own car or board a mini-van to Roxas, Mindoro, where another RoRo vessel leaves at 2 PM for Caticlan, where the boat arrives at 6 PM. Private cars can be parked at one of the many shady and secured parking lots for a fee. No cars are allowed on Boracay Island. The same RoRo vessel leaves Caticlan daily at 9 AM.
3: Book on Budget Hotels. There is a lot of budget hotels around boracay, Boracay is separated by station so always look for hotel in Station 3 this station where you can find cheaper accommodation,I don’t mind really what kind of hotel it would, I would be out most of the time soaking in the beach anyway,Although station 1 is closer to the beach and a lot nicer and cleaner i think, Although you wont find cheap hotels around this area, So its out on my list,You can always find choices of hotels in Agoda and other booking sites.
4: Dont eat in expensive Restaurant, Well i guess everybody knows about this, But There are certain places in boracay you might consider,You dont come there to eat in a fancy restaurant, Lots of places you can go and have a nice meal with just a few pesos.Or some hotels have a free breakfast, Every time i go somewhere I always look for hotels with free buffet breakfast. and when I have my meal, I spend my morning eating..hahaha, Lots of eateries around Bulabog beach there you can have a nice meal for 30-50 pesos only.Or you can also try the take out meals, Or shall we say Toro Toro for less 100 pesos you can have a full tummy already.
5: Go for a Cheaper bars for a drink: Oh you like to drink lots of cheaper bars around. Have your drink on a happy hour and you will surely enjoy the lower beer prices. You can also try the Pub Crawl I would not say its cheap but you can actually have a whole night party for 600-900 pesos if you buy your slots early you can avail it around 600 pesos, Your Boracay holiday wouldn't be complete without joining the pub crawl. You get unlimited shots and meet total strangers and become friends.
6: No need to buy Activities: You don't need to spend a thousand bucks just to ride a jetski, If you want a thrill? Have a walk around the beach,Some people spend a fortunes for a diving, Riding a Jetski, and a lot more, Well, You can have all of the for free and you can sure have some fun as well.Build your own sand castle, Soak in the beach and get tan, Go for a swim and a lot more fun stuff.So thats it. Enjoy your Boracay Holiday!!!
