Boracay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
My goodness, this must be the ceiling of the island paradise
The delicate white sand beaches, the azure sea, and the stunning sunset sails... Every casual photo is breathtakingly beautiful, and the hours spent flying here are well worth it.
✈️ About the trip
Since there are no direct flights from Chengdu to Boracay, and I didn't want to go through too much hassle with a child, I chose a group visa semi-independent travel.
🏝 Outbound: Chengdu Tianfu Airport - Caticlan, then a 20-minute boat ride to Boracay to check into the hotel.
🏝 Return: Kalibo - Chengdu Tianfu Airport, it takes a 2-hour bus ride from Boracay to Kalibo Airport.
⏰ Flight duration: About 4 hours
🏖️ Travel recommendations
❤️ White Beach: A must-visit spot in Boracay, known as the most beautiful beach in Asia, with a beautiful environment and fine sand. Divided into S1, S2, and S3 zones, S1 has relatively more people, lying on a thin layer of gauze is comfortable and stress-relieving, and it's also great for taking photos.
❤️ Sunset Sailing: A traditional water activity not to be missed, sailing through the waves at dusk to greet the sunset is a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
❤️ Virgin Island: You need to wait for low tide to walk on the rocks, which will give you a different photo experience.
❤️ Puka Beach: The wedding location of Fish Leong, with jelly-like sea, the sand is not as fine as White Beach, and the waves are bigger, with fewer tourists. The cost here is also cheaper, but be sure to pay attention to safety when with children.
❤️ Friday Beach: An excellent spot to watch the sunset sails, you can walk further north, right in front of the sunset.
❤️ Cliffside Walkway: Located to the right of Friday Beach, viewing the sea from the caves, the beauty of the sea is fully captured, and wearing a beautiful dress feels like a fairyland. There are usually more people in line here, so it's recommended to come before 9 am.
🍜 About dining
Boracay is indeed a food desert, and we mostly dined at the hotel's restaurant during our stay. You can bring some pickled mustard tuber and chili powder, there are many shops in Dmall, but the prices are a bit high, I recommend a restaurant opposite Virgin Island, which is very affordable. Never buy things in the Dmall supermarket, a bowl of instant noodles that costs 6 yuan in China is 170 pesos!!
🌈 Boracay travel tips:
1⃣️ Currently, there are no direct flights from China to Boracay, it is recommended to choose a group semi-independent travel.
2⃣️ Hotel sockets are universal, no need to bring converters and adapters, hotels do not provide hair dryers, TV channels marked PAY are for pay, and a separate payment is required upon checkout. Besides bath towels, shower gel, and soap, you need to bring your own toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, slippers, comb, etc.
3⃣️ The Philippines is a tipping country, tips are expected for services like luggage handling, photography, and room cleaning, about 50 pesos or so, but coins should not be given.
4⃣️ Sunglasses, sun hats, swimsuits, beach dresses, they all look super good in photos, and sunscreen is a must to carry with you.
5⃣️ The temperature on the plane is low, so prepare a thick coat.
6⃣️ Exchange local currency at the bank in advance, prepare enough cash for shopping on the island.

White Beach
Boats and beaches in Boracay
If you’re looking for sun, relaxation and warm seas, Boracay might be your next affordable destination and it’s easier to get to than you think. Take a flight to Caticlan airport and from outside the airport you can book your transport to Boracay with one of the tour operators available. I booked online with southwest tours, who picked me up from the airport, took me to the boat and to my hostel the other side of Boracay. But if you arrive with no transportation don’t worry, for about 800-1000 pesos, you can book your tickets and trip after you step off the plane.
Arriving in Boracay, I’d recommend taking a trip to the long white beach where restaurants, clubs and shopping can be found. I also took a trip to the remote Diniwid beach, which was quiet and small but waves and sand were great.

Puka Beach 🌊🌊
📸Attraction Name: Puka Beach
📍Location : Boracay
🚏Best way to get there : via bpat tour or tuktuk
Boracay is one of those places where you always crave to visit every now and then. From the stunning beaches, amazing sunsets, and delicious seafood, these are enough to make you come back. But if you want to visit less crowded beach, consider Puka Beach. This is reachable via boat tour or in our case, since we wanted to stay the whole day, we decided to rent a tuktuk. There were less people mostly in the afternoon since boat tours arrived in the morning and left after a an hour or so.

Puka Beach Island-hopping Adventure
I took the island-hopping tour to Puka Beach. This small island was relatively quieter compared to the popular Stations 1, 2, 3 which were always full of tourists and local merchandise. It was named as Puke because of the Puka seashells found on the white shores; this explains why the sand here is rougher than the powdery white sand on the White Beach. I was amazed how clear the water was. I grabbed some shells for a photo and put them back after that (Note: Please do not take home any of the marine creatures)
Location: Boracay, Philippines
Highlights: Puka seashells, crystal clear water
Ambiance/Facilities: 8/10
Rating: 4/5
Puka Beach 🏝
Puka Beach is an excellent choice to chill and relax on a beautiful island close to Boracay.
The island is not too big so you can walk pretty much the entire island easily.
We enjoyed the warm water and the sound of the waves. Sunscreen is a must however I recommend to avoid noon time as the heat could be unbearable. Early morning or afternoon is a pleasant time.
Do not miss out the sunset with your favourite drink.
Wherever you go, you will see silky white sands and crystal clear waters. To get to this island you need to pay for a boat trip which is not expensive.
They sell fresh coconut which you should also try.

SAVOY HOTEL: A BEACH LIFESTYLE IN BORACAY
An active beach life has been experienced in Boracay. But for my purpose of this trip is a little bit of quiet experience, of cooling down from the many activities and certain privacy of a public life. With the superb services and beautiful amenities, SAVOY HOTEL has been a good choice for 4 days and 3 nights to ease my tiredness and boredom. With its facilities, the experience is really VALUE FOR MONEY. The privacy of the beach, lesser people in Boracay NewCoast, bountiful buffet breakfast, and infinity pools make this trip a special deal. after the trip, i am re-energized.#infinitypool#summervacation#beach#privacy
