Many of the poster’s children have been to the Philippines. Whether they like commercialization, quiet and tranquil natural scenery, or beautiful natural scenery, they all have high praise for the Philippines. And plan to go again. What impressed me most about the Philippines was Boracay Island. Although everyone says that Boracay is too famous and a bit commercialized. However, it is true that Boracay is stunningly beautiful. This article will describe in detail the detailed experience from purchasing tickets to going to Boracay Island for your reference.
Departure: Shanghai Pudong Airport T2 (Terminal 2) Destination: Manila International Airport T3, Philippines Price: 800 round Trip (tax included) Order: After the ticket order takes effect, Cebu Airlines will send an order confirmation Email it to your designated mailbox, print it out, and you will need it when you change your boarding pass. If you do not receive the email, remember that the computer displayed the order number that you booked successfully, and then enter the order management section of the official website again to enter the order number to print the ticket. If there is no order number or email, it means the reservation was unsuccessful. Rebook. Note:
1. The three-character name is only divided into two parts: first name and surname. There is no middle name (mid-name). For example, Wang Xiaoer, fill in XiaoEr for the first name and Wang for the last name. Leave it empty regardless of mid-name. . First name=given name is the first name, last name=surname is the last name.
2. After you fill in your personal information for booking tickets, candidate items will appear, such as discounts for purchasing excess baggage in advance, insurance, donations, etc.
3. After exchanging your boarding pass on the return trip from Manila to Shanghai, buy a 750P departure tax before entering the customs.
4. Cebu Pacific’s departure points are only Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. 5. Philippine Airlines departs from Beijing, but the price is higher than flying from Beijing to Shanghai and flying to Manila with Cebu Airlines. 6. International flights generally arrive 2 hours in advance, especially for return flights, it is best to arrive 3 hours in advance. It is slow to go through customs.
To go to Boracay Island, the author chose Kalibo Airport. It takes 50 minutes from Manila to Kalibo Airport. The natural scenery along the way from Kalibo to Caticlan is very beautiful. Although it takes 1.5 hours/one way, it is worth seeing.
Kalibo Airport is a very small airport with only a few boarding gates and not very complete facilities, but it is very convenient and cheap to get to Boracay Island. Boracay is such a small island that no airport can be built on it, so everyone flies to Panay Island, the main island of Boracay, and then takes a boat from Caticlan Pier to Boracay. There are two options here, one is to take Cebu Air’s own supporting service, and the other is to go by yourself.
The author went there by himself, but there will also be one-stop service from Cebu Airlines' supporting hotels.
Option 1, go to your Boracay hotel by yourself and take the bus from the airport. Generally, there are big buses for 300P, including the ferry from Caticlan to Boracay; minibuses cost 200P + 50P tax, including the ferry from Caticlan to Long Beach. Note that you must pay two taxes when going from the pier to Boracay Island, the pier tax is 100 pesos/person and the environmental tax is 75 pesos/person. When leaving Boracay by boat, you need to pay another 50 pesos/person for the dock tax and 20 pesos/person for the environmental tax. There are two ATM machines as soon as you leave the airport, both with UnionPay logos, and you can withdraw money with UnionPay bank cards and credit cards. Caticlan Pier-Boracay boat time: Caticlan → Boracay: 5:30 ~ 22:00 Boracay → Caticlan: 5:00 ~ 21:00 Students who take AirAsia from Shanghai to Kalibo, you can check when to board The island is the most convenient.
Option 2, the newly launched Cebu Air direct-to-hotel service 1. Cebu Air staff will wait for your arrival at the exit of Kalibo Airport in advance based on the flight time you filled in. 2. After verifying your name with the staff, take the air-conditioned bus to Caticlan Pier. 3. Take a Bangka (crab) boat at the pier and cross the Tablas Straight to Boracay Island. 4. After disembarking at the Boracay Pier, take an air-conditioned bus to take you and your luggage to your designated hotel. How to get to Boracay Island is probably like this. You can make your own choice based on the situation. As for the projects recommended to you by people everywhere on Long Beach, the approximate prices are: 1) Sailing boat: 1000P/hour (watching the sunset for 1 hour is enough), the next day Just negotiate directly with the boatman for 700P in the afternoon. Chartering a boat to go out to sea: 400P/person. You need to buy the ticket at the boat center on Beach 1 before 9 o'clock the next day, and it includes bread for feeding the fish. We originally thought we would be sharing a big boat with other people, but we were given a small boat for the four of us alone. Beach agents generally require 2000P to charter a boat around the island (check with the boat operator whether it includes sea fishing, snorkeling at Crocodile Island, BBQ lunch at Magic Island, etc.). Mountain off-road vehicle: There is an agent on the beach, 1000P/2-seater vehicle, 600P/person for a single vehicle, you can negotiate by yourself. You can drive up the mountain to watch the sunrise. 2) Undersea Walk: 1500P/15 minutes (can’t remember how long), suitable for people who can’t swim but want to see the sea. There are also banana boats, parachutes, skateboards, and jet skis. The beach agent has prices. If you like, you can negotiate the price. 3) You can enjoy the lounge chairs in any hotel by the beach as long as you order a drink such as mango juice for 80P, which is more suitable for Traveling. 4) Long Beach to Calticlain Pier: Ferry ticket 25P, vehicle and boat tax 30P. Charter bus from Calticlain to Kalibo: 1800P.
As for Manila, since I’m going to stay in Manila, I’ll give you some tips on how to get around Manila. 1) Manila to SM Shopping Mall of Asia: Yellow airport taxi fare is 150P. 2) From SM Mall to Manila Airport: White taxi costs 120P. 3) Before returning to Shanghai from Manila to enter customs, purchase a departure tax of 750P. 4) Lee and L'vis jeans are cheap in malls in Manila. 5) The consumption in Manila is similar to that in China. Coffee is cheap. A cup of Starbucks coffee only costs a few RMB 10, and Boss coffee is about the same. The Chinese restaurant is very authentic, and the Hong Kong style we ate was very authentic. During the entire trip, I spent a lot on various taxes and tips, followed by hotels, air tickets and meals. Long Beach is suitable for swimming, the waves are relatively big, and Bohol Island is better for shallow diving. Long Beach is suitable for vacation and leisure, with a strong commercial atmosphere, many Tourist attractions and projects, and is relatively primitive. Each has its own merits, but all have their own characteristics.
