Wow great vlog as always good to see a wide variety of food on offer. Jesse looked a very knowledgeable guide and was good you got to see sites and experiences you would have missed.can’t wait to see next vlog
Hi, great vlog thanks. We are from Scotland, UK and will be visiting Boracay. We contacted My Boracay Guide based on your recommendation however the price quoted was 2100 php per person round trip from Caticlan Airport. The 900 php that you paid apparently was the local rate (different rate for foreigners as we don’t have a PH ID card) one way.
Hey Pauline. That's a strange one as we just booked it on their website and bank transferred them without any questions. Not to worry as there are other companies out there doing the same thing who may be a bit cheaper if you have a look on Viator and GetYourGuide. The 900php was per person but we only went 1 way with them and did a DIY on the way back and saved a lot of money. It's much cheaper but a bit of a faff with the paperwork when you are arriving (especially after a long journey) but it's entirely do-able.
Thanks Hanz. We're taking a different style for Japan (a bit like what we did in Sri Lanka) which means we can get them out quicker as we are really behind with them. Hopefully you will still enjoy them!
Hey there! Yes it's a requirement to have a hotel booked, at least for night 1. They checked our booking at Manila and then the port officials needed proof at Caticlan jetty port too. We just showed them it on our phone.
@@ParksTravelGuide Gosh. Thanks for the info. I wonder if that's a continuation of contact tracing or afraid of an influx of backbackers pitching tents on the beach!
Haha! In fairness we got asked a few times between flying to different islands. There's some online paperwork to fill in anyway so make sure you check out the latest island entry requirements before you go.
@@ParksTravelGuide What do you mean online? I've been in the country throughout the pandemic. I'm not registered on any apps. I've heard that vax requirements aren't required anymore, so hopefully no contact tracing either.
@@BiggWorldCinema sorry that's our bad. The online form was for when we first arrived in Manila. For Boracay we needed a filled out tourist arrival form, hotel booking confirmation and both passports. I believe that information is still current.
Hi John and Becky, this, I think is my favourite place you have been so far, the main town looks bustling but at the same time very chilled. The Xmas eve feast was just stunning and the food and explore with Jesse was so good 😊 (except for you John 😂😂😂) Arhhhh the baalambs 🐑🐑 so cute 🥰 An amazing day for you guys ❤
Ey up! We loved Boracay the first time we went shortly after its reopening from when the government closed it down for 6 months to clean it up and change it from a raucous party place to a more tranquil island. We knew we had to go back. The downside is the hassle and the sheer amount of people going there now. Jessie was really good to us and is a top man, we first met him on our honeymoon trip as he is due to get married to Tania, who is Jeremy's (from the Melbourne vlog) big sister. It was a great day all round x
@Parks Travel Guide last time was 8yrs ago, when it was all filthy and the island was on its way to rehab. Sunset view was so captivating I still had a great time overall.
@@j_Mv7907 it's a big change. We first went a month after it was reopened as part of our honeymoon. It's more beautiful now but incredibly busy and touristy. If people can see past that then they have an idyllic island.
Hey there! We enjoyed coming back again, apart from it getting very touristy and too many Korean restaurants opening. Tourism is great for the island but we hope it won't ruin it's charm in the years to come.
@@SheckleRFan715 we will certainly try to revisit at some point, although that's twice we have been there now so it's a little further down the list. You never know though! 🙂
That derelict hotel must be one of those buildings whose construction was abandoned when Boracay underwent a six-month rehabilitation in 2018. The government cracked down on establishments violating building and environmental regulations to aviod further degradation of the island.
Yeah that's true, although it was fully built but then ordered to be demolished. Apparently they were operating without a lot of crucial regulations so I read online. Safety first. We heard it's pretty normal out there to build something and then permission not be granted so things can't open, a little like the treehouse bar we went into as he was still waiting for his license to be granted.
WOW! It's paradise Boracay..💖
The beach is stunning. It's even better now that it's recovered and rules are in place!
Great experience both of you guys... hope to see you again? Thank you so much 😍
Take care Jessie 👍🏾♥️🇵🇭
@@ParksTravelGuide thank you, and you guys to take care

Thanks Joanne. There's a good mix of food on Boracay that's for sure x

Thanks Tony. He's a great guy. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have known most of the places!
Loving the videos! Keep them coming 🤘
Thanks Jordan. Hopefully the first Japan one will be out on Sunday!
Wow.
Yeah it still has the 'wow' factor for sure!

Hey Karen! Thanks very much x
Your vlogg quality has developed so much ❤

@@ParksTravelGuide yes, it would be great 👏
Good guide, guys! Very comprehensive!
Thanks Kevin. Really appreciate that 🙂
awesome video
Hey Killer Bro. Thanks very much for checking us out. It means a lot!
@@ParksTravelGuide Best of Lucks for your upcoming videos.....
Thanks very much. We are really grateful of your support. Much love!
Great info! In the paperwork at the port do you need to have prebooked a hotel or can you walk around looking for a place on arrival?
Hey there! Yes it's a requirement to have a hotel booked, at least for night 1. They checked our booking at Manila and then the port officials needed proof at Caticlan jetty port too. We just showed them it on our phone.

Can’t wait to go back 👣
It's certainly a beautiful place Craig!

My goodness. I remember those day boracay now is super expensive
Hey Drew. Yeah sadly that is the case. We spent a lot of time eating in local places which are still good value for money.
how do u find boracay sir? Thanks for coming!
Hey there! We enjoyed coming back again, apart from it getting very touristy and too many Korean restaurants opening. Tourism is great for the island but we hope it won't ruin it's charm in the years to come.
@@ParksTravelGuideYes and many koreans too. Hope ya'll come again, April-May is the peak because its summer.
@@SheckleRFan715 we will certainly try to revisit at some point, although that's twice we have been there now so it's a little further down the list. You never know though! 🙂
