kotiko Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll be thinking about the boat thing. By the way, plan namin April 21-24 pa siguro, additional info lang. How many hours ba yung boat ride, san rin bababa and stuff? Quote Link to comment
tsobaxi Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yes, Boat ride is more practical, especially kung student ka. Pero yung promo ng cebu pacific is almost 50% discount! Anyways, boat ride takes about 14-16 hours, and mag da dock kayo sa caticlan (ata), then mga 2-3 hours travel by land para dun sa port papuntang boracay, and then sakay bangka about 30mins-1hr. then boracay na. Kahit wala kang package na kinuha, ok lang...say...yung pag dock ng superferry, pag baba mo pa lang...maraming mag o offer na mga van dun papunta dun sa port(gateway to bracay), then pag punta mo sa port, sakay ka lang bangka papuntang boracay. ang importante lang is yung lodging and yung confirmation ng transpo tickets niyo(ie boat or plane). Then another advise is, kung boat kayo and mga 4 kayo, just get a suite(para sa 2 tao yun), then yung other 2 just get the lowest economy class...tapos pag dating sa barko, dun na kayong 4 mag stay sa isang kwart...kasi pag lahat kayo economy, sobrang hindi convenient(mag wo worry kapa na baka nakawan ka).

floppydrive Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Tama si tsobaxi. mga 14 hours yung boat ride. Alis ng Manila Bay (South harbor na yata ngayon, dati north harbor) tapos mag-dock sa Dumaguit. Ito yung port sa may New Washington, malapit sa Aklan. Pagbaba, maraming van na papuntang Caticlan, hindi ko maalala yung rate, pero parang 50 to 120/person. Dalawang oras mula pier hangang Caticlan. Malapit lang yung pier sa airport, kadalasan dadaan ng airport yung van bago tumuloy sa Caticlan. Pagbaba sa Caticlan, sakay naman ng banka patawid ng Boracay. Hindi ko rin maalala kung magkano yung tawid 20 to 40/person yata. Tips: kanya-kanyang bitbit ng bag. Huwag kumuha ng porter lalo na sa labas ng manila. Sabi ng shipping lines libre ito, pero sa labas ng maynila, hindi totoo. Maghanap na kayo ngayon ng titirahan at transpo. Maraming tao sa Boracay ng April. Madalas kami sa Centro. Malinis, beachfront, katabi ng boat station 2, tapos around 2000/night/cottage. Baka mga 2500 to 3000 na ngayon. P2,000 yun 2 years ago. Good for 4 people ang aircon cottage, with 2 free breakfast. Alam ko marami pang mas mura dito, pero hindi beachfront. Airplane man o boat ang plano ninyo, bumili na kayo ngayon ng ticket. Ito ang unang nauubos, at ang kadalasan nag-didictate ng schedule nyo sa Boracay. Mayroong mas maliit na barko pero ang baba ay sa Caticlan na mismo. Yung bangka na susundo sa iyo sa barko ay deretso na sa Boracay. Hindi ko maalala yung pangalan ng kumpanya. Paki check na lang ang yellow pages as mga passenger ships. Maka Santo ang pangalan ng mga barko nila, pero hindi Sulpicio lines. Quote Link to comment
tsobaxi Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Mary the queen ata yung pangalan ng barko. Quote Link to comment
anika Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I saw this in the Ads, Negros Navigation has a Direct Manila to Boracay Fun Ship (powered by Smart). Try calling its hotline, 245-5588. Quote Link to comment
floppydrive Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 May isa pa palang transortation na pwedeng subukan - BUS! May project si PGMA na Nautical Highway last year. May mga bus companies na nag-o-offer ng Manila-Caticlan service. 24 hours yata ang travel time. Alis ng Cubao or Pasay papuntang Batangas Pier, sasakay yung bus ng roll-on, roll-off ferry papuntang Calapan, Mindoro, tapos pupuntang Roxas, tapos tawid na naman papuntang Caticlan sakay ng isa pang RORO. Wala pa akong balita kung ok ito, at kung mayroon pang ganitong service. Quote Link to comment
kotiko Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Planning to take a plane nalang para di masyado masayang yung time namin tsaka mamaya maexhaust kami. Anyone got numbers ng Asian Spirit? By the way reduced na yung budget namin to around 9k-12k.. Kakayanin pa ba? help please! Quote Link to comment
macx98 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 try nio ung culpepper lodge malapit sa station 3... medyo nasagitna un at malayo sa boracay mall, pero ayos ung facilities, libre use ng communal kitchen completo sa gamit, bbigyan lang nyo ung may ari bayad for use of lpg gas for cooking, malinis ung banyo and kasya 6 sa kwarto pag super budget kayo... may aircon and air-cool rooms... may laundry area sa taas ng compound... more or less 3K per night (pede tawa), kaya sulit... for food try nio sa may boracay mall area.. pasukin nio ung looban, tapos pag dating sa alley na puro resto hanapin nio ung resto place sa tapat ng travel agency. last yr kumain kami duun, 50 pesos lang ung rice meal-mai ulam na kasama at rice. malaki servings pede mag share. pag lunch mai libre drinks pa. puro mga body builder kasama ko pero sulit sa kanila duun na kami ng lunch and dinner for 3 nights and 5 days. oo nga pala, when going to boracay on a budget, a ship ride is most recommended- enjoy lalo na kung alis mo mga hapon and dating mo sa bora kinabukasan ng umaga. tsaka bakasyon naman pupuntahan mo, kaya mas maganda kung sinusulit mo ung bawat moment papunta- di naman nakakapagod. mas maraming time magkulitan pag ship ride tsaka ung same bangka na sasakyan mo pababa ng ship un na rin ang gagamitin straight papunta sa boracay... medyo sasideline pa sa caticlan un(5-10 mins) from the ship and diretso na ng boracay un. a bangka ride costs P60 last yr.

Lipstick Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Am assuming 10K per person right? I just came from Bora and spent 10K for a 4D/3N trip via Asian Spirit with accommodations at Jony's (includes daily brekkie). Jony's has a promo rate of 4,600 for a 3D/2N stay which includes transfers. Lemme just find their number/email and I'll post it here. Quote Link to comment
