TOUCHDOWN
Take a short tricycle ride to the
Caticlan Jetty Port. From there, board a banca
that will transport you to Boracay Island. Here, the
main mode of transport is the tricycle, and they
are cheap and plentiful.
BY DAY
Bask under the sun of Puka Beach, a
quiet stretch of white sand along the northern
tip of the island. It is a good spot for a picnic,
and there are fewer tourists so you will not be
competing for space.
BY NIGHT
Boracay nightlife would not be
complete without taking in the party scene at
Stations 1 and 2. Epic Bar, Guilly’s Island and
Summer Place are the hottest places to dance,
drink and be merry.
SLEEP
Alta Vista de Boracay provides guests a
sense of privacy. They also have free shuttles to
and from Station 2 at certain hours.

TOUCHDOWN
From the airport, the best way
to get to the city center is by tricycle — it’s cheap
and the Kalibo version is larger than the ones in
Manila. It can accommodate six adults, including
the driver.
BY DAY
Stroll along Bakhawan Eco Park at New
Buswang, Kalibo. A visit to the Aklan Museum
and freedom marker of the 19 Martyrs of Aklan
will complete your journey to the history and
culture of Akeanons.
BY NIGHT
Unwind at fine dining restaurants and
cafés like Saylo, Café Latte and Kitty’s. For music
and band lovers, you could try hanging out in La
Senoritas and Mezzanine Café. Go to Q-Zone for
bowling after.
SLEEP
A good night’s sleep in Marzon Hotel
comes easy for weary travellers. Its rooms are
clean and cozy, and come with wide-screen flat
TVs.
