Oh I love the Philippines, when it’s sunny. I’ve spent over a month there island hopping and love the carefree lifestyle and beautiful beaches to explore. Boracay is a definite highlight, but doesn’t everyone know it?
When I went it was Chinese New Year and it was hectic. So, top tip: make sure to check your festivals before you plan a trip to Boracay.
There are loads of things to do in Boracay on a budget, making it perfect for all sorts of travellers. Of course the cheapest thing to do in Boracay is to just lie on the beach, but you can’t do that all day, can you?
Let me take you through a few of the best things to do for cheap in Boracay.
Top tips for cheap Boracay
- Stay at Station 1 down the other end of the island.
- Don’t go in February (Chinese New Year).

Boracay island is only 10km2, but it fits a lot of fun and adventure in. I’d recommend you spend 4-5 days exploring, as a minimum. I spent a week there in February, so let me tell you a little bit about it.
