My Boracay Escapade

June 13, 2022 is the day when we flew to Boracay and the beginning of my many firsts. 

It was my first plane ride and it was a very fun experience. Our flight got delayed for 2 very long hours, but was still fun because I was able to spend time and play with my cousins in the airport! As soon as our plane took off I felt very excited knowing that I'm going above the clouds! Just outside my window is the sea of clouds! It was so breathtaking.  

Boracay is a beautiful island in the Philippines. Going there was also my first time. When our plane landed in Caticlan we took a ferry ride to cross the island and this is when my Boracay escapade begun. The blueish green color of the beach was so majestic, that we immediately checked in our luggage and took the chance to walk on the beautiful shoreline of the island and find a place to eat while enjoying the view of the beautiful beach of Boracay!

The next day, we woke up early, put on our swim suits, headed straight to the beach and did the first activity on our list - paddle boarding! It was my first time to use a paddle board. Surprisingly, it was easy-peasy. I don't know why others find it hard to use the paddle board  but it was so easy for me and I instantly liked it. It was like you are paddling a boat but you're just standing up  hahaha..... After  paddle boarding, we had a delicious big brunch before going to our next water activity, which by the way was a first for me too. 

First off was the banana boat ride. The banana boat ride was slightly scary because I feared that I would fall off the ride, but overall the ride was fun and exciting! I would like to do it again the next time we go there. Then, we did parasailing. Parasailing was an awesome activity because it felt like I was flying and touching the clouds. The cold breeze was wonderful, and as I was up in the air enjoying the beautiful view. I could see all of Boracay! From up in the sky I was lucky to witness the beautiful sunset reflecting on the water! I almost cried because it's so beautiful.

After all those activities, we were all so tired. We decided to just chill in the pool and rest the whole night because the next day will be another fun filled day. We all went island hopping! We saw some beautiful beaches and islands like Puka Beach, Crystal Cove, and so on. Then, we ate at a nice buffet on one of the islands then continued our island hopping adventure. We also did snorkeling somewhere in the middle of nowhere where fishes are so colorful like those on tv. Another awesome part of the tour was the helmet diving where we were able to walk while watching fishes under water. It was scary at first because the pressure in the ear was a bit strong but its all worth it! The life and beauty under the sea is so amazing! 

From all the islands that we had visited, my favorite would be Puka Beach. It is one of the many islands you can visit in Boracay. The nice thing about this beach is that the water is clear, the sand is clean and isn't hot, and you can ride a crystal kayak! Puka beach is also known for the small shells that you can find in the sand or while swimming in the water! This beach is also a perfect place to take pictures with your friends or family!

From all the fun activities and adventures I had in Boracay my favorite part was I enjoyed and experienced   them all with my family.  This is my most memorable trip so far!  I hope to go back there again....... See you soon Boracay!
