Picks that sit on this route.
From the Philippines file. Real places, filed by people who went, not scraped from a Top 10 list.
Do · Panay · Boracay
Puka Beach
Boracay's northern tip, free entry, none of White Beach's crowding. A tricycle from the main strip runs about PHP 150, or PHP 20 a person shared, roughly 20 minutes.
Do · Panay · Boracay
Paraw sunset sailing
A traditional double outrigger sailboat, from PHP 3,700 for a private charter, which means a solo traveller gets the whole boat rather than sharing one. A 30 minute sunset sail timed to golden hour, or a 1 hour daytime option.
Do · Panay · Boracay
Ariel's Point cliff diving
Five diving platforms from 3 to 15 metres, reached by boat transfer from White Beach. Day packages from PHP 1,200 to 1,500 include the transfer, a BBQ buffet lunch and unlimited jumps, kayaking and snorkelling.
Eat · Western Visayas · Iloilo
La Paz batchoy
Pork and offal noodle soup: round miki egg noodles in a broth boiled for hours, with shrimp stock, beef loin, pork innards, crushed chicharon and toasted garlic on top. Three houses in the same market claim the original, Deco's, Ted's and Netong's, and all three have been trading since the 1940s.
Eat · Panay · Boracay
D'Talipapa
A wet market off Boracay's main road where you buy fresh shrimp, crab, squid or lobster at market price, then pay a nearby paluto restaurant from about PHP 100 a kilo to cook it however you want. Controlling the exact portion makes it one of the more solo-friendly ways to eat well on the island.
Eat · Panay · Boracay
Andok's
A budget Filipino fast food chain known for charcoal roasted, lemongrass stuffed whole chicken, PHP 150 to 200. Fast counter service, the kind of grab-and-go meal that fits between beach hops.
