Touched down Kalibo Airport around 10am, its about 2 hours from Kalibo going to Boracay Island. Still needs to travel for 2 hours going to Caticlan Port. Rode a van at P250/ head from Kalibo to Caticlan. Then boat to the island and a tricycle going to our resort.
We stayed in La Carmela de Boracay in Station 2. Room rate was around P2500/ night booked in a travel agency. Small room complete with bathroom amenities was our home away from home in Boracay. My hotel review on this was posted on Trip Advisor.
Immediately after we checked in, headed in D'Mall where restaurants were located and decided strolled around after we ate.
Had refreshments at famous Jonas Fruit Shakes located in Station 1. Don't leave this island without having their signature choco-banana shake.
The next morning was start of our activities. Rented a bug car and went to Mount Luho for scenic view of the island.
Next was snorkeling and island hopping. The boat man brought us in Crocodile Island where the fishes and corals can be seen.
Puka beach was the next destination, an island where instead of sand, broken sea shells were scattered on its shore. No resorts, only small eateries and souvenir shops can be found.
Finally, water reef walking, a very scary activity for me who doesn't know how to swim. It took 2 attempts for me to be able to went down the reef, assisted by a scuba diver. Its worth! The reef was filled with small fishes playing around. We were lucky to see a star fish as well. This activity lasted around 10-15 minutes.
Back to hotel after the tiring day and chilled around the crystal clear water of Boracay. :)

It was indeed a great and relaxing vacation for me and my hubby. We will definitely go back to this place next time with our daughter. (She was 1 year old back then)
See you next time Boracay!!! :)
