Boracay is one of the best white sand beaches in the world. Famous for it's amazing beauty and extravagance, this small island in the Philippines is being swarmed with thousands of people every year. Boracay Island is located in the Visayan part of the Philippines, in Caticlan Island in the Iloilo province. Boracay is being visited both locals and foreign at any time of the year.
The island is mostly visited during the Christmas season which is a perfect choice for holiday vacationers. Also, during the months of May to June while taking their summer vacations, though the heat of the sun is quiet strong during these months. From July to November is the rainy season in the Philippines and it isn't favorable to go to the beach, though they offer the cheapest fees during these months, so one can try going to Boracay when it is not raining hard. The months October to November are the best months to see a beautiful sunsets in Boracay.
Here are the ways on how to get to Boracay:
o By the RO-RO - this is a kind of shipping boat that carries cargoes and passengers into the different provinces in the Philippines. Once they get off the RO-RO, travelers would then rent a van going to Iloilo and then another bus ride to Caticlan, then another ferry ride going to Boracay. most of the locals prefer to ride in the RO-RO because it costs cheaper than the plane rides.
o Via plane - from Manila; capital of the Philippines, one can go to the domestic airport and board a plane going to Kalibo Airport. This is the quickest way to go to Boracay islands. The flight from Manila to Kalibo will take about 45 minutes. There would then be another bus ride to reach Caticlan and then to Boracay islands via boat rides.
o Ferry rides - ferry rides are fun to experience. One can enjoy the beauty of the Philippine Sea while riding their way to the Boracay beach. First, one should get to Mindoro Province via ferry and then another ride with the big "banca" or boat that will sail through Roxas City and the move on to the Tablas Island and then another banca or ferry to take you to the Boracay beach. It is quiet a long ride, but one will definitely enjoy and have fun while in the trip.
