If you ask me which includes to the premier tourist destinations in the Philippines, one of the first places that could pop into my mind would probably be BORACAY.

Boracay Island is a tropical paradise in the province of Aklan. Internationally known not just for its fine, white sand beaches, Boracay is somewhat a destination you would not want to miss when you visited the Philippines. I’ve been to this Island so many times, but still the feels and vibe in the island wouldn’t stop me on coming back. A trip to Boracay Island would require you to make multiple transfers from plane to the sea. And because of the small airport in Caticlan, flights are limited to local aircrafts and no direct flights can be booked specially if you are coming from outside the country.

Since there are a few different options for doing so, i’ll cover each and let you decide which one works best for you.

Whenever people asked about Puerto Galera, what do you usually thought about? Beaches? Mountains? White Beach?

You might probably be picking the last one. White Beach is the most popular of Puerto Galera’s 32 beaches especially among Filipino tourists. The long stretch of white sands are visited by Manila tourists mostly from March to May. Restaurants lined up serving different cuisines. Accommodations and Hotels are also available in the area but sometimes private homes are also rented out specially on peak season. This place is great for people who loves to swim, dine, and party at the same time.

Weekends at Puerto Nirvana, Puerto Galera

A lot of my friends usually tells me I’m everywhere, specially whenever they see my feed on social media. Well they can be right sometimes, but not always. “In a rush” is just the right phrase to describe my life in Manila, hopping to one place to another trying to beat the time. It’s a bit tiring, but for a single guy like me in the height of my age, this could still be tolerable.

A break to the routine is definitely needed once in a while. Recently I’ve visited Puerto Galera for the nth time. Puerto Nirvana hosted our stay over the weekends. The owner have planned different activities for us to try and I was too ecstatic to do it. It was my moment to escape Manila, taking time really slow, breathing the cool air and just really enjoying every moment.

Sandbar at Puerto Galera

I love interesting landforms weather it be a hill, rock (like Mt. Manalmon), or a beach. The Sandbar at Puerto Galera is something that interests me much when I paid a visit.

Sandbar at Puerto Galera is a tiny strip that connects the island of Mindoro to Boquete Island, which is formerly called as Paniquian Island. Boqueto becomes an island (as to what the locals said) on a high tide. On a low tide you’ll get to sea two beach fronts in one. At the east are the waters of Muelle Bay and to the west is the Balateros Cove. This place is perfect for Windsurfing and other water activities.
