We all know that Boracay island is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the Philippines and has been also recognized as the best beach in the world. I am no Boracay expert but on my recent 5-day stay there where I had a chance to mingle with the locals and some Boracay experts, I've compiled these tips and tricks on how to enjoy and save money at the same time so you would be able to avoid the scams.
I'm writing this blog so that even if it's your first time in Boracay, you can do activities on your own.
First, let me define some of the terms I used in this article:
Hawker - Those guys asking you to book their activities from them ALL THROUGHOUT the beach path. Can be annoying at times. Since they can't seem to identify my nationality, they talk to me in Korean, Japanese or Chinese. Similar to the guys in Greenhills selling 'deebeedee-deebeedee'.
Scammers - Those unethical practices done by the locals and business owners that destroys the image of the Philippines and Filipinos.
My Personal Recommended Hawker - Contact Ariel Cahilig. His number is 0928 4210924.
Boracay Expert - Been to Boracay tons of times and know the island by heart
Pasalubong - is a Tagalog word which if translated in the American English language would be "keepsake" or "presents". It is a souvenir brought for loved ones or friends.
Here are some of the things to do in Boracay (Water sports, land activities and other must experience experiences in the island).
