I have always want to step foot in Boracay because of the azure blue sea and powdery white sands so I was really happy that my turn came..
To start, this post is to give you the information and the procedure when we reached Boracay.
Hmmm.. some parts are redundant which are for my record purposes. :p
Singapore to Kalibo Airport: Via Tigerair @ S$233.87 per pax (10:45hrs flight and reached 14:20hrs)
Accomodation: Booked via Hotel.com - Stay at Patio Pacific Boracay @ S$518.43 for 2 person.
Since our flight 10:45hrs that day, we usually reach about 2hr earlier to check in.
On that day, we also went to the Sunflower Garden at T2 before our flight.
Didn't know that Changi Airport had such a beautiful place until recently. ^^
Huge bear in Changi Airport!
So we boarded the plane at 10:45hr from Singapore.
It was a long long journey from Singapore to Boracay.
So much time wasted on the first day when we arrived in resort in Boracay. Sigh~
Anyway, our flight was delayed and we reached Kalibo Airport at 2.55pm.
After immigration, head out and you will see many Filipino promoting taxi, bus, etc to transport you to Boracay.
Because we researched online, and boyfriend said that we should go ahead with Southwest, so we did.
Transport fee for Southwest is 550php which includes the bus ticket, boat ticket, environment fee, terminal fee, shutter bus to hotel ticket.
I guess that is very much convenient. You just pay once and everything is arranged for you.
From the ticket we received, you can see that we have to transit many times...
Something to take note: Remember to have small change! If you don't have, you can change small change with the currency exchange before buying the ticket.
We left the airport at 3.45pm. Took the bus to the ferry terminal which is about 1.5hr journey ride.
Reached the ferry terminal (Caticlan Jetty Port) at around 5.30pm.
Then we waited for the boat, like the photo below, and took the boat at 5.50pm.
Took about 15mins to reach the Boracay Island.
After which, we transit to our resort and reached at 7pm+.
We took about 1hr to reach our hotel because the jam was bad and there were also other passenger to be sent to their hotel so depends on your luck if you are the first or last to be fetched there.
Well, what I can say that it was a long tedious ride.
By the way, there are almost no streets light there during the night.
Its almost depending on the lights from the stores along the streets.
Our stay at Patio Pacific Boracay is located at Station 2. Its just 5mins walk to the beach.
Its near some good food around.
As compared to maybe the resort at the beach area, the noise level within our room is still okay.
We can hear the sounds of the motorbikes or tuk-tuks passing by.
The room is quite spacious but the design inside seems quite old.
The staffs there are friendly.
Our welcome drink after we checked in which taste like Pandan with pineapple.. I am not sure..
So we had our dinner at one of the Korean restaurant near our resort.
Its an authentic one because the boss is a Korean.
The food are acceptable.
I have come to an end for my Day 1.
Preview of the beautiful beach in Boracay.
Will be back with the Day 2 post soon. Ciao~

Wow! Those are pretty sunflowers.
Patio Pacific Resort's location is actually in Station 1. But it's often mistaken as part of Boracay's Station 2. :)
