🏝️ Hagdan Beach is one of the most secluded and atmospheric beaches on Boracay, and the most interesting way to get there is through the ruins of West Cove. 🚶♂️ How to get there: Start from the northern part of Diniwid or from the main road in the Yapak area. Head towards the former West Cove hotel (now picturesque ruins on the cliffs, offering stunning views and a unique atmosphere). Pass through the ruins - it's a great spot for taking photos and enjoying the panoramic scenery 🏞️ After the ruins, descend the staircase (Hagdan means "staircase" in Tagalog) directly to the beach. The stairs are steep, but the view and seclusion are worth it. Tip: Bring water and snacks with you - there’s no infrastructure on Hagdan Beach.

#whitebeachboracay #travel #seascapes #parasailing #postandearn Boracay is a small island in the central Philippines , famous for its white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and a lively resort atmosphere. Celebrating a birthday here? Even more unforgettable! To make my stay more exciting, I went for island hopping and even tried parasailing - and that's just scratching the surface. There are so many things to do in Boracay. If you're lucky, you might even catch the famous fire dance at night. I did, and I happened to get a front row spot, which made it even more magical. Getting there was pretty easy: I flew from Manila to Caticlan Airport. From the airport, I shared a tricycle ride to Caticlan port, which only cost Php50. If you prefer more privacy, you can hire the trike for yourself, but it'll cost a bit more. Tricycles are great for short distances, while van transfers offer more comfort - especially if you're carrying a lot of luggage or traveling in a group. The ride from the airport to the port takes just around 5-10 minutes. From Caticlan Port, I took a ferry to Boracay. To enter the island, you'll need to pay the following fees: > Environmental Fee: Php 300 for foreign tourists > Terminal Fee: Php150 > Ferry/Boat Ticket (Pump boat): Php50 These fees are usually paid to different personnel at the jetty port before boarding the ferry. Once you arrive on the island, you can fake another tricycle or van to your accommodation - the cost depends on your chosen mode of transportation. Overall, the journey is smooth and totally worth it. Boracay's charm, from its vibrant sunsets to its laidback island vibe, is the memorable birthday escape. 💙🌊

This was a very simple yet cozy place with nice interior and the small place will not bother you at all. Their coffee is really great no doubt and with no exaggeration it is way much better than the popular ones on the island. Owner was really welcoming and we got to chat with her every time we visit the cafe. I find silong also to be a Greta spot for cakes and breakfasts. We visited the cafe serveal times for the same. Also, some afternoons when it was very hot outside, silong was a fine spot to lounge around and suck up on some WiFi and surf the net. #philippinestrip #travel #couplestrip #boracay

#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent You can't miss out on the hopping tour when you go to Boracay :) There are many companies, but I compared them and booked the one I liked the most and even I, who is not good at skin scuba diving, was able to learn it quickly so it was nice that they taught me so kindly~ The ramen I ate on the boat after swimming was also delicious ㅎㅎ

The diving in Boracay is really like what they claim to be, the diving for princes and princesses🤿 Not only do you not have to carry heavy equipment along the shore into the sea Here, you only need to be taught by a Taiwanese instructor in the classroom. Go to the diving pool to practice Then you can get on board easily Just follow the instructor and divemaster comfortably from the boat In the weightless world of the sea, you really don't have to worry about ascending or descending. These are all carried out by the divemaster. Our task is just to pose one by one Just let the coach take photos and videos It's a rare opportunity to take a photo with Nemo in the sea Couples can also play and kiss in the sea together😘 Also known as the inner space adventure experience diving 🤿 As long as you are ten years old I really recommend you to try it.
