Boracay Island combines crystal clear waters, sugary beaches that squeak when walked
on, and lush hilly landscapes into an idyllic tourist haven, that's guaranteed to
fascinate and lull visitors into tranquil harmony with its simplistic beauty. Visitors
commonly refer to Boracay as a
The small island, only seven kilometers long and one kilometer wide at its narrowest
point, is located just off the northern tip of its mother Visayan island of Panay. The
northern and southern parts of the island rise into picturesque hills, with elevations of
100 meters above sea level, that face the sea with weather worn cliffs. The Island has
numerous scattered villages
Boracay boasts one of
the world's finest beaches - White Beach, a broad 3.5 kilometer stretch of sun-drenched
sand, bathed by a white capped strip of perpetually turquoise water. At Nu Nu Noos you are
fortunate to be ideally located at the center of White Beach, conveniently situated to all
the main activities. Boracay's pure white beaches are a sun worshipper's heaven on earth.
Just lazing under the tropical sun is a favorite vacation pastime.
White Beach runs almost the entire length of the western side of the island. During the
summer season
The main beaches are dotted with water sports outlets, offering the latest equipment
for rental and expert instruction at reasonable prices, including scuba
diving, sailboats, ( native outriggers ) and wind surfers. Boracay is becoming Asia's
most popular dive school location with good shallow coral dives and drop-offs to depths of
twenty meters being within easy reach, while the more experienced and adventurous may try
a cave dive at Black Rock
For more leisurely pursuits, many local fishermen and holiday resorts offer all-day
around the island trips by motorized bangkas, with stop-offs at the northern caves, near
Yapak, home of Boracay's giant fruit bats, locally called
For active landlubbers the Island's center extends a natural invitation to hike or mountain bike its many trails, criss- crossing its gently hilly slopes, while offering occasional glimpses of far-off sandy coves, fringed by palm trees. Your hike could extend to Puka Shell Beach, located on the Island's northern tip, facing Carabao Island. Puka Beach is the home of Boracay's famous and at one time plentiful Puka shells.
At sunset, a two
hour or so walk along the length of White Beach attracts many early evening strollers,
before the serenity of the ocean views are over-taken by the awakening of Boracay's night
life, offering numerous economically priced gourmet restaurants, discos, movie houses and
cozy bars that add an international flair to the evening.
At sunset, don't forget Nu Noos which offers over 50 expertly mixed tropical cocktails to titillate your early evening taste buds on a buy one get one free basis.
Boracay offers an ideal escape from civilization, but if one needs to remain in contact
with the outside world, international phone, fax and e-mail services are available.
Boracay is on the brink of worldwide recognition, which within the next five years will
probably convert its current tranquillity into the hub-bub of a major commercialized
tourist venue.

Philippine Air Lines ( PAL ) operates regular daily flights to Kalibo, capital of Aklan
Province on Panay Island (approximately USD60.00).
The on-going journey from Kalibo Airport to Caticlan overland takes about 1-2 hours,
inclusive of flat tires, via the northern coastal road, which initially runs through
pisturesque rice paddies prior to hitting the more mountaineous coastal section nearer
Caticlan. The route is plied regularly by aircon buses (approximately USD5.00) direct from
Kalibo Airport. Alternatively, each incoming flight is eagerly met by an ample supply of
transport operators linking the airport directly to Boracay.
However, during the high season advanced booking is required to guarantee a seat.
Alternative, but less convenient, flight destinations in Panay Island include Roxas and
Iloilo Cities. PAL flies Kalibo to Cebu City 3 or 4 times per week for approximately
USD35.00, one way.
The most convenient, but slightly more expensive routing to Boracay, is the direct flight
from Manila to the small airstrip at Caticlan, which is just opposite Boracay, operated by
the small private airlines, Asian Spirit ( Fax No. : 63-2-813 -
0183) and Pacific Air ( Fax No. : 63-2- 833 7692), who operate smaller aircraft on daily
schedules (approximately USD65.00, one way). The smaller 6 to 50 seater aircraft fly at
only 9,000 feet, giving the passenger a very scenic trip.
All internal flights depart from Manila's Domestic Airport which adjoins Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Allow a two and a half hour transfer peroid between arriving at one airport section and departing the other.
From Caticlan it is just a short 20 minute hop over to Boracay by native outrigger.
A number of Manila tourist agencies, including Nigi Nigi Nu Noos booking office
(Telefax No. : 63-36-288-3112) offer attractive package tours, with 3 or 4 nights stay in
Boracay being typical inclusive of airfares, transfers and deluxe accommodation with
breakfast. Such tours can be extended on a per diem basis - for those who wish to linger a
little longer in Paradise.
