Whereas purchasing for distinctive objects isn’t actually Boracay’s stronger go well with, there are quite a few shops promoting principally beach-related wares alongside the island; something from sandals to swim put on to diving gear. Granted, costs are a bit on the excessive aspect. Apart from the standard Boracay shirt and ref magnets, think about shopping for a mug from Starbucks, one thing you’ll be able to solely purchase on the island, and possibly a loop of puka shell bracelets. And sure, take away a bun of chori burger too, simply in case you get hungry on the airplane again to Manila.

BORACAY SAMPLE ITINERARY & TRAVEL BUDGET
How lengthy must you keep in Boracay? For a relaxed Boracay getaway, I counsel staying for at the least three days. A Boracay itinerary for 2 days is definitely doable, however it may possibly get fairly hectic, particularly if you wish to strive water actions and see the remainder of the island moreover the White Seashore. You probably have extra time, I counsel you stretch out the itinerary beneath to suit your keep on the island. A seaside continues to be meant for enjoyable, so take your time and just be sure you get to put on the sand and easily do nothing. On considered one of our journeys, we really stayed for three weeks in Boracay—our longest go to to the island.
For the journey price range, a trip to Boracay is simply costly in the event you let it. Should you take out many of the watersports and select solely what you actually, actually need (plus the island hopping tour, you can not depart this out) and easily take pleasure in its seashores and eat on easy eateries, a visit to Boracay could be comparatively low-cost. For the price range information beneath, I purposely didn’t embrace the switch from both Kalibo (₱150.00 to ₱200.00 per particular person) or Caticlan Airport to the jetty going to the island; I solely began counting cash on the jetty itself. Additionally, tricycle charges could be additional lowered to solely ₱20.00 per trip, in the event you select to trip non-special (ride-sharing with different passengers).
