BORACAY ISLAND INFORMATION
A Paradise Awaits You

- by Jason Probyn

Boracay Island, the jewel of Philippine tourism, is fast becoming one of the premier beach playgrounds of Asia. This surge in popularity is due to the unique natural beauty of Boracay Island, which is now a marine preserve, that is frequently voted to have the best beaches in the world, combined with a multitude of inexpensive Boracay vacation past times. In most Philippine vacation spots you are confined to your hotel of choice - but not in Boracay! - which offers a 4 k. long sandy promenade stretching the entire length of White Beach with a continuous collection of inviting restaurants offering a wide selection of different national cuisines including: Filipino seafood, French, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Italian, Thai, etc., plus trendy boutiques, craft shops, cozy beach bars, lively discos, sensuous massage centers and water sports outlets. Most Boracay vacationers at sunset are tempted to stroll the Boracay beach promenade, taking a little refreshment and some souvenir photos of the magnificent Boracay sunset along the way.
One of the extra advantages of Boracay Island is the very reasonable prices of food and beverages, for example a full breakfast is offered by most restaurants for less than P 200 ($4), a 3 - 4 course meal for P 300 - 500 ($7 - 10) and the internationally acclaimed San Miguel beer costs only P 40 ($0.75) - so dining on a Boracay beach, under the stars, followed by a bar-hopping evening will only place a small dent in your pocket. Every night on the island can be a Boracay party night.

Since Boracay Island has unquestionably the best Philippine beaches and the widest choice of Philippine beach hotels, many Philippine travel agencies and Philippine tours concentrate their activities around a Boracay itinerary. Boracay is also a popular place for Philippine beach weddings.

Boracay Island combines crystal clear waters, the legendary white sands of Boracay beach and lush hilly landscapes into an idyllic tropical Philippine vacation that we promise will enchant and lull visitors into the laidback way of tropical life. This small island, only eight kilometers long and one kilometer wide at its narrowest point, is located just off the northern tip of the large neighboring island of Panay. The northern and southern parts of Boracay Island rise into the picturesque hills, with elevations of 100 meters above sea level, that face the sea with beaches at one end and weather worn cliffs at the other. On your arrival secure yourself, a copy of the Boracay map. Here you can find one of the finest beaches in the world - Boracay White Beach, a broad 3.5 kilometer stretch of white sun drenched sand, washed by perpetually clear turquoise water. The pure white beaches of Boracay are a sun worshipper's heaven on earth. Just lazing under the palm trees in the tropical sun is a favorite Boracay vacation past time. Boracay weather is warm all year round but there is a dry season and a rainy season.

 

During the dry season (December to July) White Beach is leeward shore which results in a calm, turquoise seas, ideal for frolics in the warm water to cool off from the tropical heat. During this period, the opposite, eastern side, forms the windward shore, with almost continuous onshore winds and protective reefs that create an ideal environment for both the novice and the experienced wind surfer or kite boarder. The "Fun Board" International Windsurfing Cup is held in this area during January - February each year when the winds are at their best. The eastern shore also contains numerous sheltered and picturesque bays, rewarding the ardent walker with many great scenic views. The Boracay scuba diving schools and water sports outlets along the beaches offer the best equipment for rental and expert instructions at reasonable prices, including scuba gear, sailing, kite boarding and wind surfing equipment. Boracay dive schools are some of the most popular dive school locations in Asia with good shallow nearby coral dives and drop-offs to depths of thirty meters.

For more leisurely pursuits, the full day trip of picnicking and snorkeling around the island by local boat is popular among travelers and can be easily arranged. These trips usually include island hopping, picnic lunch set in an isolated beach and visit to the northern caves, home of the giant fruit bats and other sites of interest.

For active landlubbers the interior of the island extends a natural invitation to hike or mountain bike the many trails crisscrossing the gentle hilly slopes, while offering scenic views along the way. Alternatively, a tour of the island, using typical Boracay transportation of motorized tricycle, can be arranged.

At the end of the day, watch the spectacular sunsets from Nigi Nigi beachfront bar, a popular Boracay photograph. Our bar offers a large variety of tropical cocktails and refreshing juices and is a relaxing place to start your evening. Many early evening strollers enjoy the hour or two walk along the length of White Beach before the serenity of the ocean views are overtaken by the awakening of the vibrant Boracay nightlife. The many Boracay restaurants offer a variety of international cuisines and together with the discos and the cozy bars, add an international flair to the evening. A Boracay vacation offers an ideal escape from the stresses of the hectic world but if one needs to remain in contact with the outside world then international phone, fax and internet services are available at Nigi Nigi.

Many visitors return again and again to Boracay, finding that the island manages to tantalize its visitors while offering all the facilities wanted by a traveler, at very reasonable prices, while still providing a tropical escape. On your arrival ask your Boracay Resort receptionist about the many Boracay tour packages.

For those interested in longer stays there are Boracay real estate agents that can offer long term villa rentals and homes for sale. However, it maybe wiser to stay in a Boracay resort for a short period prior to making long term Boracay accommodation commitments.

Over the last ten years many traditional native style cottages along the Boracay beach have been replaced by large condominium type hotels, while Nigi Nigi's Philippine beach resort , which has also been continuously refurbished, remains styled in its original native cottage and lush tropical garden concept, making it a unique place to experience the old Boracay while enjoying some of the deluxe furnishings of modern life.

If you need assistance or information before making your Boracay hotel reservations or want us to arrange your Philippine domestic flights and local transfers please contact us at info@niginigitoo.com or phone direct via (63 36) 288 3150.

Boracay Horse Riding

Boracay Mountain Biking

Boracay is extremely scenic, with many challenging and varied routes around the island, some 25 kilometres long. Most of the routes are on loose dirt roads and steep climbs up to lookout points that give spectacular views across clear, blue waters to the distant islands. Then a steep drop down along single track paths through thick vegetation and native villages to another deserted beach. Cycling along these beaches at low tide is an exhilarating experience and then finally back through the coconut groves to the main beach. Rides may end with a long cool swim in the ocean. This certainly adds a new dimension to your Philippine vacation.

Bike rentals are available at US $ 2.00 per hour or US $ 12.00 per day. For the serious biker we suggest that you bring your own bicycle. If it comes as extra baggage from Manila to Caticlan, the cost is minimal. For longer two or three day trips the Nigi Nigi boat will take you to Caticlan on the island of Panay where the opportunities for adventurous cycling are unlimited.
