What should I prepare for a trip to Boracay?

1. Visa: The Philippine visa is a paper visa, and the pass rate is very high, but at the same time, the error rate is relatively high. Be sure to check carefully for any errors. Generally, you can choose omnipotent Taobao, and try to handle it about one month in advance, so as not to delay the trip. In addition, the price will be more suitable when the hornet's nest is active.

2. Wifi: many people will choose to rent portable wifi, but individuals recommend buying local calling cards with unlimited traffic, which is very convenient to open a hot spot. However, the local 4G is not very good. If it exceeds 8M every day, it will automatically become 3G. So try not to watch videos.

3. Clothing: Although it is in the tropics, it is still a little cold in the morning and evening. It is recommended to bring a long cardigan.

TIPS: if you buy a Cebu air ticket, you must remember to wear more clothes. The air conditioning of this airline is abnormal.

4. Entry forms and customs declarations

Entry forms are usually filled in on the plane, while customs declarations are required when disembarking.

5. Entry and exit card

6. Customs declaration form

TIPS: Keep a pen in your carry-on bag in case of emergency.

7. Transportation:

There are two airports near Boracay: Caticlan Airport (MPH) and Kalibo Airport (KLO). Catiklan Airport is also called Godofredo P. Ramos Airport.

① It's a long journey from Kalibo Airport (KLO) to Boracay. You have to take a bus for more than an hour before you get off the plane and then transfer to a ferry to get to Boracay. Therefore, if you are lazy and have poor English, it is highly recommended to buy a shuttle service! Someone will contact you with a sign at the airport.

② Catiklan is close to Boracay, so you can get off the plane, walk or take a tutu bus to the dock and take a boat to Boracay. However, you usually have to transfer from Manila, and the safety of Manila is also a matter of different opinions.

TIPS:

Pay attention to the environmental tax when you buy the boat ticket, and there will be a departure tax when you return, so be sure to set aside enough pesos.

on your return trip, remember that the estimated time from the hotel to Kalibo airport is at least 4 hours.

8. Exchange rate

Most online raiders recommend exchanging US dollars, and then going to Boracay to exchange US dollars for pesos. However, if the amount is not large, you can make an appointment to exchange pesos directly at the Bank of China.

There are also shops in Boracay where RMB can be exchanged for pesos, as well as WeChat and Alipay, but the exchange rate will be lower. So don't worry about running out of pesos! It's also a loss to exchange too much.
