A trip report would be much appreciated. Is transportation to and from the island difficult, expensive? |

Windsurfing in Boracay is sick during December to March. Nice warm waters and affordable rentals. Food and Drinks are cheap and nightlife is until dawn. If you're too #@#@ up to walk to your hotel then sleep on the beach. It's safe and friendly. Kiters are everywhere...(not a bad thing). Manila to Boracay is $100...it takes 45 mins., beach front rooms on the other side of the island (15 mins. tricycle ride to Bulabog beach where we windsurf is $1.00 or you can walk) is about $80-$150 and way cheaper in Bulabog beach...but not as nice. Try Asiatravel.com. Let's go!

It was a nice trip. I was there a week. I slept maybe 10 hours total. Non-stop action and it was cheap. Sure they closed the airport after a plane crashed on the runway in. The only way out was by boat or seaplane. Totally worth it though. |

Here's a link to the wind in Boracay: http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/boracay_caticlan
Any discount for iwindsurf member? I will definitely take up your offer if it's less than the beach hotels on the other side. I will probably need 3 rooms in January 2010 |
