Haven’t read Boracay get-away (day 1)? Click here.

We were up at 6am on our 2nd day and had yummy breakfast by the beach courtesy of Blue Mango Restaurant. After breakfast, we went for a swim and enjoyed the beach. Boracay was at its best during the day. The morning sun was rejuvenating. Then I spoke to Jelvin, (a very nice and helpful staff at the Blue Mango Inn and the same person who picked us up from the Caticlan Jetty Port the day we arrived), and had him arrange a boat for our exciting island hopping trip.

The boatman arrived at the inn at 9am to pick us up. Our island hopping trip lasted for six hours so we were really tired. Greggy slept on the boat on the way back to our room. Poor baby. Anyway, here are the places we visited.

The Crocodile Island

This island has a shape of a crocodile’s head from afar so it was called The Crocodile Island. It is a perfect spot for fishing, snorkeling and diving. The three of us did not enjoy it very much though due to strong currents. Leo went snorkeling while Greggy and I were waiting on the boat. Sobrang nakakahilo ang waves dito! We almost puked. Because of that, di tuloy ako nakapag-take ng video. Di rin namin masyadong nagamit yung disposable underwater camera na binili namin. Nakailang shots lang kami. Pero in fairness, ang gaganda talaga ng mga fish! Very colorful. There were also small boats roaming around selling snacks. May tourist fee din nga pala dito na 20 pesos per head.

Anyway, we had to leave right away kasi nakakasuka na talaga ang waves. Haaay. Our next stop?

The Crystal Cove

I love this place! We stayed for two hours here I think. The caves are breathtakingly beautiful! You can tell that it’s well taken care of. So never miss to include The Crystal Cove in your itinerary if you’re going to Boracay. Never! Otherwise, you’ll miss half of your life! LOL. Entrance fee is 150 pesos per head, by the way.

We were accompanied by our by one of our boatmen to the caves. Each cave has its own guard to make sure that all tourists are safe. You can also ask them to take your pictures while inside the caves. Awesome! Too bad we were not able to swim coz the waves were too strong!

Cave 1

Sobrang ganda dito! The stairs going down to Cave 1 is really steep so you have to be careful. Or else, you will slip all the way down!

Going inside the Cave 2 was quite an adventure. This was probably what I enjoyed the most during our trip. Pa’no ba naman until waistline ang lalim ng tubig papunta sa cave then we had to crawl all the way to the teeny-weeny entrance to Cave 2. Greggy didn’t even complain at all. Game na game sya! Haha.

When we’re all done sightseeing, we decided to go out of Crystal Cove and headed to our boat. But the crystal blue water was so tempting that we couldn’t resist it. Walang kalumot-lumot dito! (unlike stations 1-3). So we went for a quick plunge instead while our boatmen were waiting on the boat! Haha. They didn’t wanna swim. Sawa na daw sila!

Next stop?

Diniwid beach and Puka Shell beach! Pero sa next entry ko na lang…Hahaha. This post is way too long already.

TO BE CONTINUED…
