The story

A journey of discovery to a small island in the Philippines where, in just 7 km by 1 km, you can find everything you look for in a holiday, from the super-crowded beaches with restaurants and shops to the completely deserted and isolated ones where you can enjoy the sea and relax fully under a palm tree all day without seeing a soul.

Obviously another of my do-it-yourself trips, organised entirely by me and taken in the company of 5 other people. Intercontinental flight (€ 750.00 approx.) again with Airqatar and domestic flight (€ 150.00 approx.) with Air Philippines, both booked at the CTS. Stay in 3 cottages "Boracay Butterfly Garden" on the quiet and very breezy Bulabog beach, booked on the web directly from the owner at € 190.00 each for 13 nights. Total trip cost about € 1400.00 all included, even the souvenirs etc...
