5. Explore Boracay
In Boracay, it’s hard to find a spot on the beach where you can have it for yourself. Good thing Puka beach is just a tricycle ride away for only Php 30. Just tell your driver to take you to Puka beach. Estimated budget damage: Php 100
Just a little walk past the stone cliffs and you’ll be rewarded with privacy.
4. Happy Hour
Your Boracay trip will not be complete without chillin’ by the beach. Don’t miss out on Grumpy Bar at Station 2 for their cocktails for as low as Php 100 during Happy Hour (12 nn to 10 pm)!
Don’t forget to try their mojito and frozen margarita. They also serve local beers for Php 50 per bottle. Estimated budget damage: Php 300
