Boracay For Dummies (in simple terms from a simple Pinoy)

Amongst the simple Plan below, this Flight is the easiest. As we have taken Tigerair. We're group of 10++ and for some their first time!

Purpose: To help others, especially newbies, in going to Boracay safe and sound! Thanks to Wikipedia.org and Google for the descriptions and maps

10-simple items considerations (plan):
1. Flight
2. Accommodation (Individual rooms or  Family)
3. SyGic Maps (I'm not advertising; it's good to have one App using the GPRS and will cost you only the buying of the App! No roaming date charges coz it needs not to be ON.)
4. Airport Transfers (& geography in simple terms) - What are Kalibo (KLO) and Caticlan (MPH) airports near Boracay.
5. Money to be brought
6. Preparedness
7. Flight back

4. Airport Transfers (& simple geography) 

A. (From AirAisa*). HOW TO GET THERE AirAsia Zest flies from Manila to Kalibo. From Kalibo Airport, it takes 1–2 hours by bus/van (from PHP 200) to Caticlan Jetty and 20 minutes by boat (PHP25 + PHP75 environmental fee + PHP100 terminal fee) to Boracay.

B. Roundtrip Airport Transfers (as of January 2014):

                Via Caticlan (Godofredo Ramos) (MPH):        PhP 800.00 per person
                Via Kalibo (KLO):           PhP 1,000.00 per person
                Combination:       PhP 900.00 per person

*Note: MPH is code for airliners for Caticlan while KLO is for Kalibo.

Roundtrip Airport Transfers (as of January 2014):

                Via Caticlan (Godofredo Ramos):        
                Via Kalibo:           First driving for about 2 hours then taking a boat about half an hour.

As explained by the blogger at http://boracayblog.myboracayguide.com/how-to-get-from-caticlan-to-boracay-29.html

Conclusion: Hence, Caticlan(MPH) to Boracay is quite faster than Kalibo(KLO) to Boracay. But for the adventurous, like our group, the bus or shuttle ride from KLO from the hotel accommodation really a 2.5 hour full of fun.

Pre-departure Orientation:

• Print the hotel/airfare confirmation/vouchers at home a week before. Passports to safe keep as well.

Swimming Tips:

fyi pala: maligo daw after swimming sa dagat...that's shower in the hotel pra malinis or ma-wash away ang mga bacteria/dumi sa Boracay.

fyi: have a walkie talkie para saved ang local texts or SMSes.
