Boracay Philippines: First Impressions - Getting Here is Half the Fun

[@jerrynewman449]

I absolutely love the Philippines people. Been living here for 2+ years. I was in Boracay last year. Loved Boracay ❤

[@samuelmendoza8585]

Terry….just completed watching the whole video and I have to say it was quite entertaining with all the excerpts in between. Well done in presenting the highs and lows and the ebb and flows of traveling to Boracay and keeping a straight face along with that temperament. 😊 Nice teaser at the end for what is happening on the next vlog. I’m tuning in for sure!

[@BarefootVlogger]

It's all part of the experience brother, thanks for the kind words🙏

[@jimalvir5866]

Right off the bat you turned that elderly lady's in a wheelchair frown into a smile. We're off to a good start.

[@mamaraidervlogs3429]

Damn ! That’s a lot of ride to go to Boracay. My son from Chicago went there and he said it’s worth it.

[@doc2log]

Tourists numbers are controlled. There is no airport on Boracay island itself but instead the planes land on an adjacent big island called Antique with the airport being in the municipality of Caticlan.

[@BarefootVlogger]

Hes right!

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

@@doc2log Lets correct this. The main island is Panay. The province is Aklan. The town is Malay. Caticlan is a barangay. While Boracay is an island with 3 barangays. Both Caticlan and Boracay are in Malay town, Aklan province.

Big beachfront hotels/resorts like the Crimson Hotel have their own shuttleboats which bring their clients directly to their own hotel piers. Station 2 is ok you lile lots of people. Foam pool party happens at the Crimson resort.

Your hotel location is absolutely sick. Connected right into d-mall. Gorgeous hotel. Must have cost a decent amount to stay there

[@BarefootVlogger]

Exactly right my friend. I went off season so it wasn't bad. Three nights cost me $267 so less than $90/night in a great spot

You can visit also the island of siargao and palawan its also the best beaches in the world

[@naej]

Best vlog about Boracay that I’ve watched, ever! I’ve been to Boracay last year with my son and his fiancée (now wife); I only booked an affordable hotel where we could sleep through the help of Reyboks Travel Tour. We were picked up from the airport and brought us to the port to ride on a boat- all included in what I paid. Not stressful at all! Also Island Hopping. It’s just a short trip but we had so much fun! Please enjoy Terry, be safe and looking forward to watching your next videos! I shared your vlog to my son 😊 Hope he will also subscribe.

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thank you Jean!🙏

[@cristinacejudo1924]

At night, eat at station 2, pick the seafood you like and tell them how you want it cooked and eaten by the beach watching people passing by.

[@riches88888]

Sir, there are many more beautiful places waiting for you in the Philippines, it's more fun in the Philippines. 😍 ENJOY

[@billconn8088]

What an experience Barefoot!! Boracay looks fabulous is it more expensive than other destinations ??? Continued safe travels Terry...

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thanks Bill! As mainly a popular tourist driven economy the island is more expensive than other places in the Philippines but I still found it to be a good value

[@mokz3017]

el nido and coron palawan is also popular for boating or diving and scenic view

[@KatK36]

you can take your private boat from caticlan directly to your hotel in boracay

[@johnintheus5260]

Another fun video Mr. Miami, I’m Mr. Clearwater so hope you don’t mind me saying, lol. Love Miami! Yeah, as you discovered, the best way to navigate the whole airport to airport, boat to boat, shore to resort thing is to pay a little extra and have your resort coordinate all of that maze of ticket purchases is to get you escorted right from the airport to the resort. We did it with Ambassador in Paradise resort this past summer, and they tool care of everything including carrying all our luggage and having our own speed boat (open air) 😎 which made it soooo convenient. Nice resort you stayed at, btw… not too big yet very nicely designed with that personal touch. Have fun, stay well!

[@BarefootVlogger]

Clearwater beach, one of my all-time favorites. Thanks John and stay safe over there

[@jocelynubas4834]

Boracay is a famous tourist beach resort but the management as well as the local lgu should improve their service facilities for the tourist to enjoy much of their time going there and prevent negative feedbacks

[@RicosUncle]

Solid Place! Looks fun.

[@lovelysky1551]

I love Philippines! Because I was born there! ❤️🫰🏻

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

Back when I was a kid we would disembark directly on the beach. You definitely should only wear shorts or skirts when coming because you would get wet.

[@josiediary25]

I really enjoyed my vacation there It was a very nice place. Thank you Sir for showing the world our best tourist destination❤

[@aimcorp6563]

Coffee and coke zero is cool my book, this is coming from a younger guy who loves his energy drinks! I'm jealous your energy needs are met easily; would entice me to solo travel more.

Thanks Moondust, getting there is always one of my favorite parts

Station 2 is very crowded and I didn’t enjoyed it. I stayed at Blue Waters and Fairways and Movenpick which i really enjoyed a lot. Both resorts has its own private beach.

[@theplebreporter]

I can't believe they dropped you off at the beach right on the sand. When I visited earlier this year we got off at a dock and electric trikes took us to our resorts down the main road. Hauling luggage through sand is insane I did not buy pre packages tho. I just paid for everything as I went along

[@agentbond2004]

yah you're right! landing on the beach is something! feels like an explorer adventurer! he bypassed the normal route in the port which is boring hehe😅✌

LOL the title! "Getting here is half the fun" 😂

[@jimalvir5866]

That was a great near ASMR video Terry, of the experience from Cebu to Cataclan to Feliz hotel. Anytime the '.. is half the fun' phrase is used, you know someone's patience was tested. Let alone a New Yorker's - 'but hey I'm not complaining' 😅 I could feel the Trump coming out of you 'This could be done better👌👌, a little better' A lot of vloggers ignore the journey for the destination, but done right it's as interesting as any trip. Impeccable editing too with the George Carlin and Back to the Future inserts. Lol the calamansi juice- I could bathe in it. We could feel the humidity. Great video as usual Barefoot onward and upward.

[@BarefootVlogger]

[@friendships1000]

The first time I visited Boracay was in 1983...it was untouched, no electricity and it was peaceful. There were already tourists but only a few knew of Boracay then. In the evening, you can hear people talking in their respective huts. Some strumming the guitars and singing. It was very relaxing with just a few visitors on the island. We used petromax as light. Compared to now, you can say a bit primitive. It was my first time as a teenager back then to see foreign women topless and men in g-strings. There were no hotels but huts and cottages. In the evening, the sand had that incandescent glow. I guess l was lucky to see Boracay when it was still untouched by developers.

[@BarefootVlogger]

Very well-written comment. You may want to write a book about your experiences.

[@friendships1000]

@@BarefootVlogger I was there with the family for three days only and didn't really explore the whole island by going to the other side like my brothers and cousins. As a souvenir, what we brought home was the very fine white sand in a bottle. Thanks for the encouragement to write a book about it. I forgot to tell you the magical effects of fireflies around the trees at night. Glimpses of my memory. I wish l can remember all if a book will be written. Traveling to Boracay from Bacolod City then by land was not easy but once our foot touched the island all the tiredness left our body. We didn't waste time jumping into the clear waters for a swim. For the many hours we traveled on that dusty rough road and taking a bangka ride from Caticlan to Boracay, it was all worth it.

[@ggnetprint1696]

this is why more and more locals are opting to travel in nearby countries than domestic tourism in our own country, expensive fares, complicated travel, etc. you get tired before you even get to the destination. boracay, palawan, name it. its a hassle to get there if you live in manila, cebu, etc

[@MikeJones-uh7mt]

I doubt you are still in Boracay but if you are go to Diniwid beach. it is just north of station one and can walk from station one to Diniwid beach. Best chilli place to spend the day and see the sunset. Sit on the beach or chill out at Dinibeach bar and restaurant or the very local bar. Not crowded with a local vibe. Also great snorkeling here right off the beach. BTW LFGM next season !
