Some
of the reasons why we travel are because we wanted to unwind after having unruly
life, some are distressing, soul searching (after break-up, maybe) or simply
spending money for the people who are born with golden spoon, to rejuvenate and
relax, to mingle and to party, embrace mother nature, self-fulfilment, and the
list goes on. I know you have many reasons to come up on your bucket list and
what I’ve cited here are just some of my personal reasons.
Last
Holy week (March 24 – 26, 2013), I’ve been to paradise. I’ve been to a place
that we are proud to be one of the best white beaches in the world, having the
fine marvellous white sand, crystal clear blue beach, breath-taking views, and have
a sweet and happy people who always love to smile – Boracay Island. I’ll be
posting about my trip soon as my work schedule, love life, friends life, family
life and anything that has life keeping me busy these past few weeks and I
apologize for that. I keep it a point to make this blog more interactive, fun,
useful, informative and updated but I always fail to do so. Well, I am not
promising anything for now, I’ll just do my best in able to catch up on things
and to share my road trips and getaways on this blog – The Posh Traveler.
Meanwhile,
I want to share with you guys some activities that you might be interested to try,
to conquer your fear, to discover yourself (something that you might know yourself
a bit more and be proud that you have done that before dooms day!) and of
course to inspire. So let’s proceed, shall we?
What
to do in Boracay Island? Here are my top three activities you may also fond of
doing or you must give-it-a-try during your stay in white beach paradise,
Boracay Island.
Island
Hopping. If you want to tour and explore around the Island of Boracay, island
hopping is one of the top activities that most tourist do whenever they are in
the island. Explore the island 360 degrees by using the local “Bangka” (small boat made my bamboo and
wood, some used motors to operate, others used wooden paddle). On this
activity, you are able to see well-known and first class hotel, some celebrity
resorts, a chance to visit neighbouring islands like Puka Beach & Crocodile
Island with astounding view and experience snorkelling (P150 for the
snorkelling equipment) where you can feed and swim with the colourful fishes
and see corals. The best part of this activity for me is that you’re able to see
ice cream and buko (coconut) vendors
at the middle of nowhere the sea, better try it, it might taste
different and the experience is once-in-a-lifetime. Come to think of it, it’s a
matter of life and death. Haha.
Budget: P1,500 rent for the Bangka for 3-4
hours journey in the sea, which is good for 4-6 persons.

Parasailing.
Up, up and away to the sky! Fear of heights? Then, you should try this to
conquer your fear. Feeling like a bird, yes it does! Imagined seating on a covered
and secured seat by a colourful parachute while the wind blows your hair and
touch your face, whispering a calming sound while overlooking on the white stretch
of the sea shore is an awesome indescribable feeling. You will also see the
Panay Island and neighbouring town and island of Region 6.
Budget: P700 per
person for 30-min ride. 1 parachute is good for two persons. So, if you don’t
have a partner then you have to pay for it.
Buggy
and ATV Cars. If parasailing is up, up and away to the sky, then for Buggy and
ATV Cars its up, up and away to the hills. It was a great feeling to try things
out of my league. Well, there is always a first on everything, and this one was
one of the best adventures I had in my life. An the end of the road, you will
find a serenity and tranquillity on the breath-taking picturesque view of Mt.
Luho (entrance fee is P120). Buggy and ATV Cars activity is a 30-40-min road
trip while enjoying the greatness of nature. I’m sure that I will do this over
and over again whenever I’m in Boracay Island.
Budget: P700 per person.
There
you go! That’s my top three activities in Boracay. Maybe, if you are not adventurous
enough then there are still activities that will suit your lifestyle and your
needs in terms of entertainment and fun activities like zorb, banana boat and
fishing adventures are also some options to choose from. And maybe, a night
party would be definitely fun as you can mingle with other tourists.
Hoping
next time, you’ll be one of my travel buddies, ‘til then.
