Boracay, Philippines: how to
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2012 11:25 pm
Hi!
I am looking for a kite destination for a month, a month and half.
Around Christmas or early Jan. till mi Feb.
I will be leaving from Montreal, Canada.
Up to now, my choice would be Philippines, and Boracay would be my 1st choice, at least for few weeks.
Seems like a nice and cool place. Like I like them. I have done Belize, Honduras. Looks a bit the same. Some upper scale place, some backpackers ones too. and everything in between.
I have 2 concerns mainly: how to get there? From MNL to Boracay? Any experience?
I will have a huge lite bag (5' long/150cm). 25kg or so.
I am not sure how easy it is to deal with flying from Montreal. I had luck few times, but...
I am not familliar with Asian companies.
Second concern: accomodation: I have read a bit about it. I think I will find something easily.
I like small hotel/ hostel, but with my own room. Relaxed, chill places, backpackers oriented.
I am pretty sure I will find something I like once there.
How crowded it is at this time of year? Could it be totally booked?
I usually book something in advance for 3 nights.
Any good place for kiters?
Also, I am reading about kiting spots in the Philippines. I would not mind traveling a bit and see different spots around. I don't plan to go all over the country. But either flying to another area and find another cool village or 2. Or by bus, from Bocaray, try to see some other good spots.
