1. Accommodations Hotels now need to comply with much stricter rules if they want to stay open. Do not forget to check the list of hotels accredited by the Department of Tourism posted on their website. 2. Reservation Slips You need to present the accredited-hotel reservation slips to local officials before you enter the island. Do not forget to print them out! You’ll find designated booths in Kalibo and Caticlan airports. For those coming from Iloilo and Aklan, you’ll also find booths in the Caticlan Jetty Port. 3. Entry Form When you are at the booths, you also need to fill out a Department of Tourism Tourist Arrival Form. You can download the form on their website and accomplish it beforehand to save time. 4. Drop-Off and Pick-Up Points and Schedule To maintain the island’s 19,000 daily carrying capacity, docking time of boats to and from Caticlan island (the jump-off point to Boracay Island) is limited to 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM only. You can then take a boat from the Caticlan Jetty Port to the Cagban or the Tambisaan Port (two ports on Boracay island). Take note of this when booking your flights. Late arrivals and departures are allowed, but you’ll need the approval of the Philippine Coast Guard and the administration of the Caticlan Jetty Port. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

Imagine lying down on powdery white-sand beaches, while the sun rises over clear blue waters...During the day, ride a boat and hop from one rustic island to another…Then watch the island come to life at night, while the bass drops and strobes of light dance on the sand. It’s no surprise Boracay constantly appears on lists of the top beaches on the planet. You get a taste of both worlds here—you can bask in the quiet of being far away from the city’s noise, while still enjoying some of the amenities of urban living. Boracay is one of the few islands I LOVE going back to. I make it a point to return every year. Now if you think Boracay is too expensive to visit, let me give you a more wallet-friendly guide so you can enjoy one of the top tourist spots in the Philippines. When Is The Best Time to Visit? Now that rehab is over, you can visit the island year-round. And since it is located in the Philippines, prepare for weather that can either be scorching hot or drench you in a deluge of rainwater. There is no in-between. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

Boracay is back! Well, it didn’t really leave. It was just closed to visitors for six months in 2018, which sparked countless debates. The good news is, it has been reopened to tourists! There have been some changes and new policies, so we’re publishing a brand new BORACAY TRAVEL GUIDE with sample itinerary to help you plan your trip. If you’ve been to the island prior to closure, this guide can also serve as your short refresher. UNDERSTANDING BORACAY Any conversation about the Philippines as a tourist destination isn’t complete without a mention of Boracay. It is, after all, the country’s most well-known beach attraction, topping various publications’ lists of best islands in Asia and in the world. Here are more bits about Boracay. Location: Boracay is within the municipality of Malay, province of Aklan in the Philippines. Mainland Aklan is part of Panay Island. Languages: Aklanon and Ati are the native languages. But locals, especially those working in the tourism industry, can fluently speak and understand Tagalog and English. Currency: Philippine peso (PHP, ₱). PHP100 is around USD 1.90, EUR 1.69, SGD 2.57 (as of May 2019). #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

Of course, the famous powder-like white sand beach of the Philippines should be part of your bucket list. Other than taking a dip in the clear blue waters of Boracay, one should try their extreme activities such as banana boat ride, surfing, flying fish and (what we did) parasailing! #beach #whitesand #boracay #boracayisland #phippines #sunset #skiresorts

Sunset by the beach in Boracay is the best. I recommend staying at Station 3 since it's not as crowded as station 1 and 2. #philippinespride #philippinebeach #islandenthusiast #proudfilipino #urbanexplorer #islandvacation #awesomepic#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#beachvacation#maydaytrip#urbanexplorer

Boracay Island is located in Malay Aklan. It is famous as one of the tourist spots in the country. It offers all in one vacation destination. It is a very good family getaway place. One thing you shouldn't missed while in here is the beautiful sunset. Various water activities offers here too. The clear water always wanted to invite to tan. Be it morning, afternoon or evening the view overlook the beach is so relaxing. One would enjoy walking barefoot on it's fine sand. The perfect place to appreciate more it's beauty is a spot on the grotto. Most visitors love to see it. Our family enjoyed our vacation here. Kids love to just swim. Restaurants and cafes are everywhere. #holidayvacation #HappyLaborday #urbanexplorer #BeachVacation
