Just as the company has a long vacation, it has long been full of yearning for Long Beach. It took us half a month to book the plane ticket from the hotel. It can be said that we have left, and the scenery and delicious food in Boracay have not let us down. We booked it on the Octopus travel platform. Regular 6 days and 4 nights tour fee is 3699, which turned out to be Paradise Garden Hotel. Later, we spent 1200 to upgrade to Regent's Lake Reef, and the visa fee was included in the tour fee.
Travel preparation 1, mobile phone card
I bought it on a treasure, and the 7-day 1G traffic cost 30 yuan. I bought a global card and said it was a 4G card, but the signal on the island was extremely poor, with a 3G signal at most. After buying, the card should be activated and recharged. A treasure seller will send you a recharge card and instructions for use, and you can buy it when you get to the local area. As soon as I got out of the airport, there was a small booth selling calling cards, which was cheaper than a treasure and sold cards.
2. Snorkeling equipment
I also bought it at a treasure. Before I went to Bali, I didn't bring my own, and I always felt that the place was not very hygienic, so I still thought that I bought it, and two sets of suitcases wouldn't take up too much space. You can buy a long-sleeved snorkeling suit by the way, which is not easy to get sunburned.
3. You don't need to bring sunscreen and aloe gel. You can buy it when you get there. It's totally useless to bring your own products for domestic use there.
4, mobile phone waterproof sleeve, essential, not only can protect the mobile phone, but also can hold change, or a treasure.
5. Don't forget the usual charging head, data cable, etc. , and bring your own pen, you need to fill in the immigration card on the plane.
6. It is suggested that it is enough to exchange pesos for about 3,500 RMB. Remember to inform the bank in advance that you need 20 denominations of change, because you need to tip, or you can ask a tour guide to exchange it locally, but the exchange rate is not cost-effective.
On the first day, our flight took off on time. If it is three or four days late, it will be a tragedy. Happened to meet China homemade test flight. It is said that the flight was delayed for 24 hours.
After flying for two and a half hours, I arrived at Kalibo airport safely. I can feel the heat as soon as I get off the plane. The airport is really small. After the security check, I waited for the tour guide, then took a bus to the pier, changed to a crab boat to Boracay, and then changed to a hotel. It was a close call on the road, but it was still worth it.
When I got there by crab boat, I saw the whole oppo billboard and got drunk.
Arrive at the hotel counter
Now, the deposit is 8000P, which can be pre-authorized by credit card. The hotel has a good environment and is close to the sea. It takes several minutes to walk to S2 beach. The tour guide asked us to pick us up at 5 pm, take a rest in the hotel, put on our swimsuits and wait for the tour guide to pick us up. Remember to change your bathing suit. Watching the sunset on an unpowered sailboat will make you wet through.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour guide picked me up on time, walked to S2 beach and finally stepped on the legendary white sand beach. I can only say that there is not one of the best beaches I have ever seen, at least in Asia, and I can't find the second one. It's very delicate and clean.
Sunset windsurfing is a must-play, because it is included in the tour fare, so you don't need to book it locally or online. The local black club keeps selling it to you on the beach, so you can bargain more. The level of local black Chinese is ok.
The sunset in Long Beach and the delicacy of the beach are beyond description. Only by personal experience can we know its beauty. Sailing ended its free activities and went straight to the online celebrity shop I, which had already made the raiders.
LoveBBQ, but I was a little disappointed. Personally, I felt that it was not as delicious as it was blown online, and I waited in line for nearly an hour.
Lemon chicken can try. The onion rings in the shop are the most solid I have ever eaten in my life. They are covered with onions.
After dinner, I walked around Demol Street. Except for the two supermarkets in the alley, the prices are not bad, and other prices are really outrageous. I don't recommend starting anything unless I have to.
I visited the green skin supermarket at the door and bought some sunscreen and pure water. Hotels in Boracay usually send two bottles of mineral water, and the water discharged from the tap can't be drunk, so it's best to buy a big bucket of water from the supermarket and drink it for five or six days.
After shopping, I bought a snack and took it back to the hotel. Must recommend the local roast chicken, a chain store, the whole roast chicken is only 250p P, in addition to roast chicken, there are kebabs, which are also delicious. I have to buy a snack every night.
The all-day trip at sea arranged during the day the next day is included in the tour fee, but the sightseeing items (banana boat, double umbrella, motorboat, etc. ) You must pay your own expenses. The tour guide booked a little more expensive, one third more expensive than the online booking, but because of the convenience of the map, I didn't want to toss and turn, so I booked a pair of umbrellas and motorboats with the tour guide.
In the afternoon, I went back to the hotel to rest. In the evening, the guide took us to the seafood market to buy seafood. The tour guide brought little black and hardly bargained. Bought little green dragon, blue crab, prawn, oriental star spot and squid. Friends who need specific prices can trust me privately, buy it back and take it to the restaurant for processing. It's diagonally opposite our hotel. It's called 899. It's owned by China people. The processing fee is not particularly expensive, 4000 PP.
After dinner, I took a walk in S2 seaside and bought roast chicken back to the hotel as usual, haha.
It rained cats and dogs at night, but I returned to the hotel early, but it was said that the power went out with a thunder. It's normal. Sometimes the power goes out several times a day. Let's feel the long beach under the thunderstorm, which is still beautiful.
Free activities began on the third day. I slept in the morning and woke up naturally. I took a taxi from the hotel to Friday Beach. The locals basically hit 10p/ person. Tour drivers are unwilling to give this price. The starting price is 60p, so I can make a counter-offer, usually 40p for two people.
The beach is a must-see on Friday. In S 1, there are fewer people here than S2, and there won't always be little black people pestering you to sell this and that.
Legend has it that the best mango milkshake on the island was on the way back to S2 on Friday. Anyone who looks for it will have a fake.
It was already lunch time when we walked to S2, and it was too hot, so I decided to buy food and go back to the hotel, waiting for the waves at night.
The iron box ice cream in this yellowcab pizza shop is delicious and worth a try.
Find a shop recommended online for dinner and go to the alley next to the green leather supermarket. In a food market, the storefront is not big and the environment is not particularly good, but it is really delicious. Mainly beef soup, the price is super cheap.
On the fourth day, I went to the SPA recommended by Fish Leong's blog, but I was a little disappointed. It's not worth 500 yuan. The environment is OK, but the technology is not as good as that in China. That's a shop owned by a Korean boss. Personally, I think I can book a spa recommended by the official tourism bureau of Long Beach in a treasure, which has a good reputation and high cost performance.
Last night, the SPA took a taxi back to S2 for dinner, and chose a shop recommended by others, specializing in seafood fried rice and squid whiskers. It tastes really good, but the price is just like that.
On the last day of the fifth day, we must meet in the lobby at five o'clock in the afternoon to go to the airport. Only during the day, we can go shopping a little, such as buy buy souvenirs. Long beach really has nothing to be a souvenir, except dried bananas, coconut oil or sunscreen as a gift. We ordered a bag of dried bananas from the tour guide, 18 yuan, and tried it before buying it. After trying more than n kinds of dried bananas in the local area, I finally felt that the dried bananas recommended by the tour guide were the best. On the bus to the airport, I was fooled by the tour guide and bought a box of deep-sea sponges. I feel cheated.
When we arrived at the airport at night, the whole group was very upset, because we couldn't get into the waiting room, because there was a Korean group in front, and only Koreans were allowed to enter the airport, so China people had to wait for Koreans to enter. The guide took us to the Dragon Palace Hotel opposite the airport. Might as well call it a food stall. Without air conditioning, the environment couldn't be worse. There are two hotels at the entrance of the airport, one of which is only open to Koreans. The environment is very different from the Dragon Palace. We waited for nearly two hours before it was our turn to wait for the plane. After passing the security check, we waited in line for another hour. During this time, Koreans cut in line and nobody took care of it. Fortunately, the plane took off on time without delay.
