Typical Day in Boracay

You can spend the whole day relaxing, swimming or making sand castles on the beach but why not make the most of every minute by doing something more exciting and fun? If you seek adventure you may be interested in the water activities the island has to offer. But make sure you are financially ready to spend. Helmet diving, island hopping, snorkeling and flying fish were a few of the activities my family and I participated in.

Helmet Diving; being dressed like an astronaut but underwater. Before standing on the ocean floor, you will be accompanied by a guide and he will describe the dos and the don’ts. The orientation is highly recommended so listen up!

1, 000 PHP per person = $23.80 CAN

Island hopping; is a three hour adventure spent exploring different parts of Boracay and you get the opportunity to go snorkeling with all the unique creatures under the sea.

2,700 PHP for 7-10 people = $64.29 CAN

Flying fish; is much more of an extreme water sport compared to the other activities I mentioned. Basically, you and five other people are being whisked away by a jet boat and the chances of falling off the boat are high. By the end of it, you’ll have bruises on your arms from falling side-to-side. But don’t worry it’s fun and you are wearing a life jacket.

400 PHP per person = $9.52 CAN

Boracay, Philippines

One of my dream vacations is to go to Boracay in the Philippines with all of my closest cousins. I've heard and saw many photos on Facebook when my cousins went and I can’t help but feel jealous because it truly looks like paradise. Believe it or not, I actually went on May 26, 2012 to May 29, 2012 and it was one of the best times in my life.

Boracay is one of the most beautiful beaches I ever been to. It’s filled with fun water activities such as helmet diving, snorkeling, parasailing, zorbing, zip lining and so much more. You'll never feel hungry because there are many local restaurants to feed your appetite and if you are a shopaholic like me; D’Mall located at Station 1 and 2 have a variety of stores to buy inexpensive beachwear, jewelry or souvenirs. Honestly, it’s never a dull moment in Boracay because when the sun goes down it’s like a party on the beach. You would be surprise on the number of bars and clubs you can find on this island.

First blog post ever.

After weeks of deciding what to blog about I finally came to a conclusion; my blog will be based on my amazing trip to the Philippines (last summer) and future vacation spots I would like to visit. Hence, the concept "Princess Dream Destination." Originally, I wanted my URL link to be "Ticket to Princess Paradise" but unfortunately that name was taken. Oh, did I forget to mention my name is Princess? So if you are interested or planning a trip to the Philippines stay tune for updates. I'll be posting day-to-day activities about the major places I visited such as Boracay and Palawan.

I wanted to include some sort of photo to capture the beauty of Philippines because you know...a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Instead, I found a video that does the job.
