What should I pay attention to when going to Boracay? When is the best season to go to Boracay?

Speaking of foreign countries, everyone has the place they want to go most, but the place I want to go most is Boracay, which is located in the Philippines. Maybe I have a broken horse in my heart, so I want to complete 30 wish lists like Chen Yihan, or maybe I want to meet the love of my life here. As the saying goes, life lies in tossing, and this time Boracay is one of my favorite places to toss.

When is the best season to go to Boracay? Boracay has a tropical maritime climate, and there is no concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter. If we only look at the temperature, it is summer all year round. Generally, Boracay can be roughly divided into "rainy season" and "dry season". The rainy season is the off-season for tourism. Rainy and windy, often disturbed by typhoons. The dry season is the peak season for tourism. At that time, there will be many tourists, popular hotels will be fully booked in advance, and the house price may double.

June-10 is the rainy season, and it rains almost every afternoon. It rains heavily, but it won't last long. During the rainy season, the wind is also very strong, and many sea activities will be affected, but it is only suitable for activities that require wind and waves such as surfing. During the rainy season, activities such as island jumping and diving will be carried out according to the weather of the day, and it is common to temporarily change the project.

How to get to Boracay from home? (1) There is no airport in Boracay, and the nearest airport is Caticlan/Caticlan (Caticlan

Airport), which is closest to the dock, but not the most important way;

② The most common way is to transfer from Manila to Kalibo/Kalibo International Airport (Kalibo

Airport), then transfer to the dock by bus, take a boat to the island, and then take a bus to the hotel after going to the island. This is the route of "combined transportation by vehicle and boat". Starting from China, the most routine route is to fly to Manila, the Philippine capital, and then transfer to Kalibo or Cardinal. If your city has direct international flights to Kalibo, it will be much more convenient and save the trouble of connecting in Manila.

There are several regular ways to travel to Boracay:

Route 1: China-Manila airport-(international to domestic flight)-Kalibo airport-transfer bus (1.5-2 hours drive)-Caticalanjetty.

Port)-Take a boat to the island (about 20 minutes by boat)-Hotel on the island

Route 2: China-Manila Airport-(international to domestic flights)-Katik Lan Airport-Katik Lan Terminal (Katik Lan).

What are the advantages of the two airports around Boracay? The two most commonly used airports near Boracay are Katik Lan/Katik Lan Airport (CATIC Lan).

Airport) and Kalibo/Kalibo Airport (Kalibo

Airport), most tourists fly to these two airports and then transfer to the island. As can be seen from the following figure, the nearest airport to Boracay is Katik Lan Airport, while Karibo Airport is about 70km away from the wharf.

Caticland/CaticlanAirport (code MPH)

Katik Lan Airport is located in Katik Lan Wharf (Katik Lan Wharf).

Port) is only about 500 meters away from the nearest airport for domestic flights in the Philippines. If you leave the airport, you can walk there or stop suddenly. Although convenient, this airport is very small, which can accommodate a limited number of planes, and there are not many flights coming in every day. Compared with Caribaux Airport, which is 70 kilometers away, it is not so popular.

From Manila Airport, you can take flights from Philippine Airlines, Cebu Airlines and AirAsia Philippines directly to Catiklan Airport. Generally speaking, the ticket price is more expensive than that of Biccari Bo Airport. From Cebu, you can also take direct flights from Philippine Airlines, Cebu Airlines and Southeast Asian Airlines in the Philippines.

Kalibo/Kalibo Airport (KLO)

Kalibo airport is an international airport, near CaticlanJetty.

It is about 70 kilometers away. After flying here, when you leave the airport, you will find that many buses are going to Cadillac Land Pier/Boracay Pier. The fare is about 150P, so leave when you are full. Travel time is about 1.5-2 hours. You can also book the pick-up and drop-off machine for combined transportation of vehicles and boats online in advance.

Manila and Cebu in the Philippines have at least 10 direct flights every day, and it is usually more convenient for most tourists to fly to Kalibo Airport.

Direct flights from China, the main routes are "Shanghai-Kalibo (Asian Airlines)" and "Beijing/Guangzhou/Chengdu-Kalibo (Philippine Airlines)".

"Kalibo Airport-Katik Lan Wharf-Boracay-Island Hotel" takes at least 3 hours to travel to and from the island hotel from Kalibo Airport, so it is ideal to leave the hotel at least 5 hours in advance according to the departure time of the plane when returning.

Where is the hotel on the island? Hotel is an important determinant of holiday quality in Boracay. Accommodation on the island is very picky, ranging from high-end island resorts to homestays. Most of the hotels on the island are located in the 4 km long white sand beach on the west side, and are divided into 1 pier (station) according to the development order.

1 (referred to as S 1), pier 2 (referred to as Station2), pier 3 (Station

S3), from S 1 to S3, the hotel quality ranges from "luxury" to "frugality". S 1 has the best location and is of course the most expensive. At Mount luho.

Luho also has some family-style apartment hotels. Although it is a little far from the seaside, you can see the open sea view from the height.

If it's your first vacation in Boracay, or if you are married and take care of your children, I suggest you stay in a hotel for at least 2-3 days and don't change frequently. It is best to choose a hotel near the seaside, which is convenient for experiencing sea entertainment or walking on the beach. The difference in hotel prices between rainy season (off-season) and dry season (peak season) is also relatively large. In the off-season, it is usually more affordable. In the peak season, a popular resort hotel may be hard to find a room, and the price will double.

S 1 dock area/station 1

S 1 dock area (above 1 area) was the earliest developed. The white sand beach in this area is the most beautiful and the seawater quality is the best. The famous "silt" is here. The hotels in S 1 are basically high-end resort hotels with the highest quality and the most expensive price. If there are high-quality requirements for beaches, sea water, scenery and hotels, it is recommended to choose the hotel S 1, Discovery Beach Resort Hotel for weddings in Fish Leong.

Boracay is located in the northernmost part of S 1.

S2 Wharf Area/Station 2

S2 (see area 2 in the schematic diagram) is the most prosperous and lively area. This area is the commercial center of the island, and D'mall shopping center, restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, seafood markets and other facilities are all here. The beach water quality in S2 is also good, and the hotel price is close to the people, but it lacks the sense of high quality of S 1. Many tourists choose to stay in hotels in S2 area, which is a bit noisy, especially at night. Friends with the highest cost performance recommend living in S2.

S3 Wharf Area/Station 3

S3 (see area 3 in the schematic diagram) was developed at the latest, mainly in some inns and homestays, as well as some cheap hotels, but it was mainly for tourists to stay, and few people chose S3 freely. S3 beach has coarse sand and less beautiful scenery than the other two areas, but S3 is the main dock for water activities. If you play with the sea, you can choose to live here, and it will be quieter at night.

S3 beach, the sand is slightly coarse.

In MountLuho.

In the middle of Boracay is Mount Luhuo (the area where the red Brapoh Beach meets the green Yapak in the schematic diagram). There are also many hotels on the mountain that are not too high. Family apartment hotel is a major feature of Shangshan hotel, and there are also condescending cliff hotels. If you like to see the sea from a height, you can choose Brapoh Pavilion in Brapoh Beach.

Mountain hotels in the north of the beach, such as CohibaVillas and KarunaBoracay.

Houses and the like are occupied by many people. If you are young, there is nothing wrong with living down the mountain. It is not recommended to take the elderly and children. After all, it's harder to drag a suitcase and take a sudden car.

This is the road map that we must know when we go to Boracay, and there is the problem of accommodation. After these problems are solved, it will be more favorable for our next visit.
