Going To Boracay During The Off-Season
Boracay in the Philippines is among one of the best beaches in
the world. It is because of the great sand and clean waters that
make Boracay a wonderful beach to relax. There are also lots of
establishments there in Boracay that can make their experience
better. The nightlife there during peak seasons such as holy
weeks and all saints day is great because lots of people go to
Boracay to have fun.
But what happens to Boracy during the off-season when the bad
winds arrive? It may seem stupid for lots of people to go there
when the winds are scary and the rain is pouring. Who would want
to swim when the rain pours and makes you chill more? The rain
will also make people think that it will dampen their merry
night life. But here are some reasons why it is still ok to go
to Boracay even if it is off-season. Here are some reasons that
can help convince people that Boracay is great no matter what
season it is.
1. It is cheaper to go to Boracay during the off-season. If you
are on a budget it is the best time to go. The flights from
Manila to Caticlan are cheaper. If you are on budget and have
motion problems when riding boats, you can just go during the
off-season because you can ride the planes and it can still fit
your budget. The hotel accommodations and food are also cheaper,
usually up to 25%.
2. The strong winds can help make an experience riding a Paraw
or a special kind of sail more fun. For P500 you can be

able to
sail with two able-bodied sea goers. You can be able to enjoy
cruising for an hour on the shoreline. You can be able to watch
the crystal clear waters when sitting on the Paraw's left wing
while holding on the ship's rigging for support.
3. The massage will be cheaper compared to massages in Manila.
You can be able to get massages for only P350 in your own room
and have coconut oil rubbed on you.
4. Surfing on a kite board is better on a windy day. It is
called a kite board because the person will strap their feet
onto the surfboard and will lasso their upper body to a 15-foot
kite. Hoe can you be able to do that on a summer day without any
wind? The price of kite boarding is around $200 because it
includes trainers and P1, 000 per hour for the board. It is
cheaper to pay this amount than pay for future hospital bills
when you end up in an accident.
These are only a few reasons why Boracay in the Philippines is
still a fun place to go to even during the off-seasons. I'm sure
that you can be able to find your own reason why going there
during the off-season is still fun.
