Matters needing attention in Boracay

There are many precautions in the Philippines. After all, there are many things to pay attention to abroad, so today are some things to pay attention to in Boracay. I hope it helps you.

Airport: There are two airports in the Philippines: Kadilan Airport and Carribo Airport.

1. Cadillac airport is close to the pier. Walking from the airport 10 minutes, speedboat 15 minutes can get to Boracay. But Kata is a small airport, and only domestic flights in the Philippines arrive, so there are only connecting flights to this airport, that is, Beijing to Manila and Manila to Kata.

2.Karibo airport is far from the dock. After leaving the airport, it takes 1.5 hours by bus to reach the dock, and 15 minutes by speedboat to reach Boracay. Caribaux is an international airport, and there are direct flights from Beijing. When flying Cebu Pacific Airlines, it should be noted that there are charges for water and meals. In addition, it is said that the temperature in the cabin is very low, and the blanket of the plane is charged. You can prepare your own warm clothes or blankets when boarding the plane.

Calling card package and network suggestion: there are two operators in the Philippines, SMART and GLOBE, and G card is generally recommended.

How to choose: If you live in White Beach S 1-3, choose Smart 4G (LTE 4G);

If you live in golf, Cannes, or remote mountainous areas, you should choose GLOBE.

Airport price: 5-day unlimited calling card 300P, 7-day unlimited calling card 400P, if you need to make a call, you can charge extra (here called loads or Userminutes).

Universal has a special package for tourists, but it is not recommended to handle it at the airport, which is more expensive. It is best to apply for a calling card directly in Boracay. Generally speaking, using WeChat on the Internet is enough. Most hotel rooms don't have wifi.

Exchange suggestion: The currency of the Philippines is peso (peso), and 1 RMB is about 7 pesos.

Generally speaking, ATM is the cheapest way to withdraw cash in Manila because of the high exchange rate in Boracay.

Globe phone cards bought on Taobao cost about 60 to 70 yuan, but they were sold everywhere in Boracay. As long as the shuttle service is set up, I don't have to buy a calling card in advance. There are several as soon as we get out of the airport, don't worry. There are several packages around the world, five days and seven days unlimited internet access package. It is said that the first 800M every day is 4G, and then it will drop to 2 g, but don't worry, it is usually enough, as long as you don't force yourself to watch a movie or something. Moreover, hotels and restaurants generally have WIFI, and generally only use mobile phone traffic on the road and at sea. Personally, I feel that the cell phone signal is surprisingly large when I am outdoors ~

I bought a mobile phone card on Taobao and took it there. I thought I had a card replacement needle and put it in my passport folder. What a pity! ! ! I just got off the plane and found it gone (crying bee). When I arrived at the hotel, I didn't change it into a card, nor did the hotel front desk. Later, a little girl in the concierge department took out a modified paper clip and felt like a savior (laughing till she cried). She also found someone to modify it herself, and after returning to China, she also changed her card by this paper clip.

What sun protection should I bring?

Because from Beijing, the duty-free shop in T3 of Beijing Capital Airport is notoriously cheap, so I bought a lot of durable sunscreen belts to take with me there, instead of buying water babies, Biosoft and the like. Because I saw someone writing in the raiders that they were wearing a water baby or a Biosoft, but they got sunburned while playing with water, I decided to buy an expensive one. Really not tanned! ! ! (Kiss) An Naisun strongly recommends it! After-sun repair is to go to the island to buy a banana boat in dmall and put it in the hotel refrigerator to cool down. The use effect is super good, you can try it ~

Snorkeling equipment

At first, I bought two dry straws in Decathlon, and I plan to borrow snorkeling glasses directly from the hotel. I also brought the above-mentioned snorkeling glasses with degrees.

clothes

Swimsuit is not easy to dry after washing. It is recommended to bring more than two sets. As for clothes, considering that washing is not easy to dry, we each brought five or six sets. Anyway, clothes in summer are light and thin. When I went, the temperature on the island was moderate, neither cold nor sunny. In general, the air conditioners in shops, restaurants and hotels are usually very low, which makes me really uncomfortable. I also bought a big silk scarf as a shawl locally. I suggest that beautiful women can take a thin coat or shawl with them, which is particularly practical ~

Waterproof bag

I bought a waterproof bag for my mobile phone on Taobao, but it was basically useless after I went there. Because Li Pang's mobile phone is Samsung s7edge and mine is 7plus, both of which are waterproof, Apple's new pressure feedback home button can't be operated in the waterproof bag. . . So my mobile phone is basically not put in it. There is something I want to recommend to you ~ I found it when I visited Decathlon. It is the kind of waterproof backpack that is especially suitable for outdoor sports! We usually take this bag when we go out to the island, which is large in capacity and waterproof. Basic passport, money, mobile phone, bath towel, dry clothes, etc. You can throw it in, but you won't lose it when you buckle it. But there is a small problem. This backpack has only one bag. You throw things in, and if you want to take them out, you have to keep digging (laughing till you cry). Li Pang said that he felt that he was digging bags (laughing till he cried), (laughing till he cried) and (laughing till he cried) most of the time. You can think about it.

Pay attention to foreign currency exchange

The currency of Boracay is the Philippine peso (peso), which was exchanged at the domestic China Bank before we set out. If you change at the airport, especially on the island, the exchange rate will not be very cost-effective.

Phone cards and wireless networks

Our calling card was processed upon arrival at callipo airport. As soon as we get out of the airport, there are obviously two places where we can handle calling cards. There are two kinds of local SIM cards-"Global" and "Smart", because before going online, it was said that "Global" was more suitable for surfing the Internet and "Smart" was more suitable for making phone calls, so we handled five-day unlimited traffic around the world at 300 pesos.

As for WiFi, before coming, the raiders said that the signal on the island was not good, and many hotels did not have WiFi, so we paid special attention to the problem of hotel WIFI when booking hotels. Our hotel will give each customer a small note with a WiFi password. But in fact, I basically use the traffic of SIM card.

Tip problem

Many places in Boracay need to tip, generally 20 pesos once, mainly for buddies who help with luggage, tour guides who jump off the island and hotels, depending on the situation.

souvenir

Boracay's accompanying gifts are mainly coconut oil, dried mango, essential oil soap and shellfish.

Coconut oil and dried mango can be bought in supermarkets, so don't worry too much about quality. Essential oil soaps are sold in souvenir shops in Dmall, and shellfish crafts can also be bought in Dmall. Dmall has a big supermarket with a budget.

There are two souvenir shops next to the market and supermarket, one is Korean and the other is China. I believe these three stores can fully meet the demand.
