Thank you so much for this excellent overview of the beautiful Boracay! We just returned from a trip there after watching this, and your advice and tips were spot on!

algae actually is what makes the sand white. they come every summer. and that place is more packed than usual when it’s the holy week

Nice snapshot of Boracay. A place on my travel list so this video has helped. Thanks.

That water looks so inviting. Definitely on my bucket list to visit 😊

Thank you for the comprehensive guide to Boracay. Well done.

So many questions answered in one single video thank you

Finally been waiting for this blog

You were in Station 3 older and family oriented much quieter as you can see. Station 2 is where the big hotels are and is where most of the younger party crowd hangs out. Station 1 is where the richer people stay. I love Boracay...can't wait to go back.

This is the first time I watched your vlog and immediately I subscribe to your channel. I find it so interesting, consistent and delivery is very good. There is no lapses which makes the stories so entertaining. Am a Filipino living in KSA for 9 years now and watching vlogs is our only comfort to ease our homesickness. Thanks for visiting our country and hoping your enjoyment on every island you tend to visit during your stay. Mabuhay Philippines.

Ive never been but you are the reason why I wanna go so bad. You make every destination so inviting and look so incredible. Keep up the awesome work bro, you're doing a great job.

New Subscriber here Thank you for coming and Visit our Beloved Country it's more fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭..

The seaweed is the reason why the sand is so white and powdery.

Cool place, never heard about it , feel I have been on a quick holiday in my sofa 🛋 😄

The algae is seasonal. It appears during summer and when the wind is blowing from the east. The best time to visit is from September to January when there’s no algae at all. Note, however, that the rainy season is from June until around November.

Wow. Love to watch this kind of vlog.. 😍 See u soon boracay. ! Can't wait ! 🥰😍

Boracay was the biggest surprise when I travelled SE Asia! Stunning beaches 🤩

I recently returned from trips to both Bali, Indonesia, and Boracay, Philippines, and the differences were stark. Here’s a breakdown of my experiences: **Bali:** - The airport is modern, efficient, and welcoming. - There are countless activities: surfing, snorkeling, island-hopping, and an abundance of delicious food options. - The beach clubs are stunning, offering breathtaking views and a vibrant party scene. - The resorts and facilities are world-class in design, catering to an international crowd. - Public policies are tourist-friendly, allowing smoking in many areas and drinking on the beach, which lets you relax and enjoy without unnecessary restrictions. - The environment is clean, and there's a wealth of cultural and traditional experiences like visiting the Monkey Forest in Ubud, day trips to Nusa Penida, and exploring Balinese temples. - Bali hosts sophisticated events, attracting international DJs and world-renowned performances like Ibiza's Elrow, adding to its vibrant nightlife. **Boracay:** - The airport experience is abysmal. The facilities are outdated and overcrowded, clearly unable to handle the number of tourists. - The government missed a significant opportunity to generate revenue by not investing in a world-class airport. - Restrictive policies, like the smoking ban, feel excessive and hinder the freedom to relax. - While the beach is beautiful, it’s the only highlight. There’s a lack of cultural and traditional attractions. - The crowd is predominantly local, and despite higher prices, the resorts and clubs don't match the architectural elegance or design found in Bali. - The clubs play outdated music, and the overall vibe is very "jologs," lacking the sophistication and modernity you’d expect in a top-tier tourist destination. **Overall:** - The beach in Boracay is superior, but that’s its only strong point. - In Bali, the entire experience, from the vibrant activities and diverse food options to the welcoming policies, sophisticated events, and cultural richness, significantly outshines Boracay. - Bali offers a well-rounded, exciting, and culturally enriching experience, making it a far more attractive destination overall. I hope that the Philippines can learn from its neighbors and invest in improving its infrastructure and tourist policies. By addressing these issues, Boracay and other destinations in the Philippines can reach their full potential and provide a world-class experience for all visitors.

I have traveled to the Philippines about 30 times, visiting more than 100 islands… Honestly - Boracay was a little bit of a letdown in almost every way. But if you like a little crowd, traffic, higher prices, not so pristine water, cheap souvenirs, tourists arriving on a conveyor belt with selfie sticks, Boracay could be for you! - I would say late, sun down beach parties were good(!)

Thanks a lot for your vlog...it's so informative....m visiting this month... definitely gona visit the restaurants u tried...

Thanks for this overview of your experience in Boracay. My fiance will be coming here in January 2024 and I'm bringing him to Boracay. I'm sure he can relate to your experience as this will be his first time and he's also vegan!

Great video bro

Great video. It helped with our trip. How was flying the drone? Did you bother trying to get a permit? I had birds trying to attack mine in Station 1 so had to fly home quick 😱

Been here since 1996 wherein no buildings yet now its more lively and exciting the same white sand beach 28 years ago.

Oooh that sunset 🤩

I’m planning to go there in August

Algae is good for the sand it's makes the sand softer

Too many tourists, and food expensive, but worth it!

Book the Tao Expedition or Keelooma...Experience paradise Islands in Palawan ...

Love this video. Boracay is so beautiful and you were able to capture that on film. But why travel alone though? Where is the girl friend?

super, clear. the b pod looks super worthy. may i know which month did u go? how was the weather?

Boracay is nice and also the two beautiful girls 👌❤️🏝️

I like your location…away from the crowd.I hope there’s no noise at night though coz I’m coming by myself the next few months and looking for the right place to stay.Thanks for showing us how Boracay looks like👍🏽

First of all, thanks for the nice informative video. I would also like to go to Boracay in a few months. I am interested in the hotel and room in which was with the balcony and the nice view. I would like the information on this. So I would also like to stay there with my Filipino girlfriend in such a beautiful location. Regards Frank

Boracay sunset is no other.🌅

It is a rare find to see a Finn smiling

There's a lot of reasons or factor why, and I don't believe that's normal, the place Boracay really needs rest or in short need to close even two months a year.. because Boracay it's already polluted and crowded...

Thanks a bunch for the video!! 👏🏼👏🏼 I don’t know if it was mentioned what area you stayed at, would you mind sharing please? I’m planning to go there in February!! Thanks again!

Thanks for the video. I will be traveling there too. What camera and mic were you using when you were parasailing? The video and audio were great. Thanks again.

Hello Joose, thanks for the video. What is the name of the hotel you stayed please? Thank you

Beautiful place

You visit el Nido, coron and Siargao

compared to america, there should be no complaints on prices! Thanks for sharing!

with that kind of water?? hell yes

Amazing 😻

Hi, video is perfect....👍, can I ask you where did you stay? Which property? Thanks, Mark.

Yeah, great for families, but if you're single, definitely not the place to go. So many people here trying so hard to make this island sound better than the other thousands of islands. The reason why this place even got popular in the first place is because of the nightlife and the vibe it had. Now, without the party scene, it's just another sand and beach spot. And guess what? The entire Philippines is full of sand and beaches. You can literally go anywhere else and get the same experience without the hype. It's just a vanilla resort now.

I always prefer station 3 where atmosphere is a bit quite

is breakfast included in your hotel?

Hi, where’d you stay?

beaches get algae too. even south beach in Miami experiences that

What station were you staying?

The 5th whitest sand beach 🏝 in this entire universe .. 🌏 but there will be no closer to the beauty of white sand of BORACAY..k…the combination of its majestic and powerfull sunset is enough .😢promise..😮😅😊

Hii! Very informative video❤ where can I hire the scooter? Is international driving permit required?

How can I secretly record drone videos? As far as I know, it is forbidden to take personal drones shoots in Boracay.

Hello! What month did you go to Boracay? And how is the sand in the water where you stayed in station 3? Is it sandy or rocky?

@JooseTheNomad Can i ask you what drone do you use for the aerial views ... I'm trying to get one and use it for multiple activities ... most related to Amateur TV production and personal stuff ... I am also planning to visit Boracay Paradise once I get clearance to travel ...

Boracay ❤❤❤

That looks absolutely nothing like the boracay I went to pre pandemic

At 3:10, may I know the name of your accomodation?

How about kitesurfing 🤷‍♂️

I wanna be there

Hard pass on Boracay. There are much better places with less crowd, overpriced mediocre food and cleaner beaches. I prefer the least beaten path like Bantayan Island Cebu and Panglao Island in Bohol.

❤

You got mega ripped off on that bike rental.

He saw seaweeds and sad its not clean seeweed is a garbage?
