BORACAY ON A BUDGET!!!

Who said you need to spend 10,000 or more to be in Boracay Island?!  This blog is for those people who want to be in Boracay on a budget.  I will be giving you tips on how you can do that :)

The first thing that you need to do is look for a really cheap plane ticket, meaning you have to get your ticket when most of the airline company are on sale.  You can get a ticket for Kalibo for as low as P478 - P678  ( Price is for 2 way already).    Cheap right?!  Your budget will start with you air ticket price, then you just need to pay 200 pesos at the airport for your terminal fee and you are on your way to Kalibo Airport.

Do not forget to take some pictures while your inside the plane.  It is amazing up there!

Once you get to Kalibo International Airport, just look for a Van that will take you to Caticlan ferry terminal.  Just pay 200 pesos, ferry boat ticket is included already ( P175 van fare + P25 boat ticket).  Just give it to the driver or the collector and  keep the boat ticket, you need to present that before you can ride the boat in Caticlan terminal.

At last after almost 2 hours of land travel from Kalibo airport, we finally arrive at Caticlan jetty port where we will ride a ferry to take us to Caticlan town proper.  Before yo go inside the port terminal, you need to pay for the terminal fee P50 and environmental fee P75.

 Inside the Caticlan jetty terminal port,  you can sit while waiting and there is aircon inside the terminal as well.  By the way the girl in the picture is my good friend Aileen.  The Caticlan terminal model....hehehe :-)

You will be given a card and you need to tap the sensor using the card so you can enter the pathway going to where the boats are,  It did feel like we were going inside the MRT or LRT station, hahahaha ;-)   and that is Aileen again the ever so loyal model of the Caticlan Jetty port, hahaha :-)

 This is where the ferry's are dock.

 Do not forget to write you name on the manifesto, like what our Caticlan jetty port model is doing, hehehehe :)

Do not forget to wear your life jacket, beware of the stinky smell though, hehehehe ;-)

 

After 15-20 minutes of ferry ride this is what will greet you :) from here you will ride a tricycle, (5-10mins )  you can pay P100 pesos if you do not want to wait for other passenger or you can just pay for P20 for one person if your willing to wait ( they call it individual in Caticlan ).  Just tell the driver where you want to be drop off,  since we will be staying in D-talipapa, that is what we told our driver.

 Bamboo sofa? hehehe.. TV with cable :)

 Home sweet home, this is where we stayed in Boracay.  The price is P350 per person per night,  sorry i can't disclose the name of the place, we are told not to.  If you want to know about it just leave a comment and i will just give you the name of our contact and her mobile number.
