Boracay 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 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.
