Boracay like no other...


Its was my first time in Boracay and i was so excited not just for the fun and activities but also relax. At one point in i want to be away from the stress of the city.

Day 1.

Upon arrival we just dropped our bags in the hotel and went straight to the sands. Since it was already dark around 7pm, we decided to just stroll around and eat.

Though this is not my first time to travel and hit the beach, its new for me to witness fire dancing like this.


We then decided to go back the hotel to prepare for the long and big days ahead.

Day 2.

We woke up early as i wanted to watch the sunrise, sad to say it was cloudy so we just decided to swim and look at around the beach.



After swimming we then book our activities which we decided to start the next day. Walking around you`ll pass through a lot of locals offering activities you can try like parasailing, island hopping, banana boat ride and you may also even also try scuba diving.

Among the locals passing by asking you to try those activities, one of them caught our eye as unlike others who stop you and offer activities, he is just standing and like waiting for you to approach him, such a humble act for us as the others gets too annoying. His name is kuya Dondon, he gave us discounts and we book all our activities with him. Since we will be starting activities the next day, he offered to fetch us in our hotel and accompany us in the activities.

Walking around of course we have to have some photo ops with this white sand.





We then went to talipapa and there..... food heaven! A lot of sea foods welcome us, fresh and alive. Bought live lobsters, oyster and fish. There are lots of restaurants around who can do the cooking.




Cant help myself but to take picture with this lobster, but keeps on moving though ahaha.



We also got tattoos. Look at my very cute owl tattoo.




Day 3.

Activity day!

It was a nice sunny day perfect for doing activities!

Got an early morning swim, it was low tide.

Kuya dondon cared to fetch us in the hotel and even accompany us in the activities.

We first had parasailing, it was fun, the heights the open water, the view...



next island hopping...

Visited puka beach, crystal cove, also went snorkling...



We were supposed to go on helmet diving but finished island hopping late so we decided to have it the next day.

Day 4.

It was raining so we went straight to helmet diving... No one can stop us hehe.



Had fun watching and feeding those fishes.. Too bad we only have a small bread to feed them, i wished we had more.

Passed by this ice cream shop (hallowich) and tried it. It was really delicious, my boyfriend even asked if they have a branch in manila. A must try!




And since it was raining we decided to go back and stay in the hotel and relax after.

We went night swimming since it was not raining anymore and have some drinks in the hotel`s restaurant.

Time to light up those candles and enjoy the jacuzzi in our suite at Cohiba Villas.



Day 5.
Since it was our last day and we`ll need to go back to kalibo for our flight, we decided to enjoy the infinity pool.



Had some buffallo wings for lunch before checking out.



Kuya dondon even arrange for our transport from the hotel to the port since the free shuttle of the hotel is not for check out and we find the car rentals offered in the hotel as pricey.

In kalibo, had to stay in the aiport longer than expected as the cebu pacific flight got delayed (not so new).

And there, back in Manila.
