Boracay

Boracay is a tropical island surrounded by stunning white sand beaches about an

hour's flight from Cebu or Manila just off the larger Philippines island of Panay.
For beach connoisseurs it competes with the best beaches of more popular
destinations such as the Caribbean and the South Pacific as well as neighbouring
Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. For those wanting to just lounge around and
top up their tan, beach-front hotels usually have lounge chairs set up just a few
steps away from the hotel entrances. The more active will appreciate water
sports and activities such as sailing, wind surfing, snorkelling, diving and jet
skiing. The fun in Boracay doesn't end when the sun sets. Boracay night-life
pulsates with many bars and restaurants serving food, drink and fun until dawn.
Climate
During the dry season of Nov-Apr (also known as Amihan), White Beach is calm
and very suitable for swimming. The other side of the island has large winds and
waves making it suitable for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
During the rainy season of Jun-Oct (also known as Habagat), this is reversed,
with a risk of typhoons. White Beach often gets large winds and waves which
sometimes makes it unsuitable for swimming.
Get in
By plane
There are two airports located near to the island of Boracay.

The "Nautical Highway" is a combination of overland highways and roll-on, rolloff (RoRo) vessels that allows you to bring your vehicle to Panay Island and visit
key cities like Kalibo. Taking your car all the way to Boracay, though, isn't
possible.
Get Around
Most visitors opt for motorized tricycles, which act as the island's taxis and make
up most of its traffic. (also scooters, mountain bikes, sail boat, and
outrigger(banca) )
