I Travelled from Cebu to Boracay by Bus and Ferry! OMG

- In this vlog in the Philippines I travel from Cebu to Boracay the long way - via bus and ferry. 1st I took the bus from Cebu City to Bacolod. This journey took me around 11 hours. Then Bacolod to Iloilo via fastcraft and then finally a v-hire van from Iloilo City to Boracay. The van takes 4-5 hours to reach Caticlan.
If you are looking for accommodation check out my video here • Top 10 Resorts in Bora...
I look at Boracay requirements for 2022 and I was shocked by Boracay Algae. Although locals said it would soon go away when the weather warmed up. As I travel between islands I look at the requirements for Philippines travel in each place.

This is a great local travel video. Thanks.
Cheers. Hope to get some stuff on Boracay soon.
Great trip Rob, but you did look really tired by the time you got to Boracay. Take care mate..
Yeah really long trip doing via bus/boat from Cebu!
I like your videos Rob very informative you really take this serious I am planning a trip this year where would you stay in Station 3
If you can hold out I'm planning on spending a bit over 2 months here in Boracay. I'm going to hotel hope so I'll be able to give my recommendations after.
I've been to Boracay and to Cebu but when I was in Cebu I went to Palawan. I went to Palawan with a friend and we went flew from Manila to Cebu and then to Palawan. I messed up on my booking with PAL because I thought that we were just making a quick stop in Cebu but after booking the trip I realized that the departure time was earlier than the time that we landed. It was fine with me because we got to see a little bit of Cebu for a day. One thing that I didn't expect was for it tot take at least an hour to go from the airport to the Radisson Blu Hotel. I really enjoyed the Radisson Blu Hotel and hopefully I can visit there as well as more places in Cebu. There are just so many places to visit in the Philippines that I could probably spend years going from one place to another.
At least you made the most of it! Traveling from the airport to Cebu can take a while and it's only got worse with traffic over the years. There's some historical sites in downtown Cebu City. My recommendations would be head north or south of Cebu to their best beaches. Camotes, Malapascua or my favorite Bantayan Island. I've done guides to that island in my channel. Yes you're right on the time you need to explore the amazing islands. What are your favs so far?
@@FindingParadise I've been to Puerto Princessa, El Nido, Boracay and Bataan.
@@stecar9122003 some of the top spots in the Philippines 🏖
I’ve done the exact trip but the other way around I love the bus trip from Boracay to Iloilo
Then the ferry around to Cebu, Excellent way to see the Philippines get on the buses and ferries
Helps you to see other parts of the Philippines that aren't so touristy. I might stop in Iloilo on the way back
@@FindingParadise I got the bus from Iloilo up to Bancal Port, gatway to Isla Gigentes islands.
Easily some of the best islands and the clearest water I’ve experienced, well worth it if you’ve got the time.
A cheap local bus trip up to the port and then a boat trip around the islands
Haha my gosh, Rob. It's like a 45 min flight and $20 from Cebu to...I think, Kalibo, where you fly into? Or can you fly right to Boracay? Either way, you definitely did take the insane, long route😄
Yeah this way I took is more expensive and painful! You can fly into Caticlan just across from Boracay.
Wow Rob, this such a great content.
Cheers. Glad you liked.
That's quite an adventure!
Yes! Not sure it will inspire people to travel this way though 🤣
I would love to go on that same adventure. We only live once. Thank you making this one of a kind vlog!
@@Liz-id7hd thanks. True it does make for an interesting adventure 😀
@@FindingParadise Yah, at least you have explore other parts of the Philippines unexpectedly an adventure itself beside Boracay..
great vlog 👍
Cheers!
Hi mate, I have a question about travelling to Manila , is board open for travelers from Australia? Thanks for sharing
I'm not sure what you mean by board open? The Philippines is open now to visa free countries like Australia. There are requirements though. You can see them here visitor.tourism.gov.ph/?fbclid=IwAR0SfZh6XRW40CXH_XyK-oPY56xrXp3cjPLWsdNwrCRzKa2SC7wNnILW5Ys
ah algae season, white beach gets the worst of it. I believe the other side of the island has better beach conditions.
You'll find it depends on conditions, some years the algae will be better sometimes worse. Also at that time of year it's calm on White Beach so the algae doesn't get washed away like it would on the other side of the island.
You don't want to fly but you'll take a boat that can sink in choppy waters.🤣
Worst still is now I have a phobia of flying and now taking boats!
You should do a review of the Radisson poo. I stayed there last year and it was so awful that I did a really bad review in Agoda and the management even commented on it saying sorry.
I have done a review a while back in my channel. Have stayed a few times there without issues. What happened with your stay?
Hi what time of the year did you go please?
I'm thinking to travel later this year or early next year..
Thank you for sharing🍺
This was just 5 days ago.
is there a certain time of year that the seaweed is worse on the shores?
When I was there it tended to clear up as the weather warmed up.
@@FindingParadise planning to be there last week of Feb next year, so I was wondering how it is around that time
It's hard to really tell. Depends on the weather. You know I went there in Feb a few years ago and there was hardly any algae then the following year in Feb and there was lots!
Those bus rides are miserable in my opinion. Seda has some nice hotels, I am not a fan of their prices however. Have not experienced boracay yet, but loved bantayan island.
Yeah long and tough road (and boat) trip. Bantayan Island is awesome. Hope to get back one day soon. I'm checking out Bohol at the moment. Enjoying another paradise.
@@FindingParadise have you experienced the River boat ride there? I highly recommend it, boat, scenery, music, and lunch was one of my favorite things since coming to the Philippines.
Yeah I did that last time. Nice relaxing trip. I was actually there when the typhoon hit. I saw some of those river boats smashed up/half sinking on the river bank. It was crazy.
Rob I have a friend who if Chinese national, what ID requirements does the airline need(hes traveling locally MNL-Kalibo). I cant get a hold of the airline.
I haven't flown domestically so I'm not sure how strick they are. It should be found on the airline's terms & conditions page.
Are you there now so much algae on white beach is there algae near shangrila/movenpik/crimson
Yeah they said it would disappear as it warms up. I'll be at the Shangri-la next week.
@@FindingParadise we stayed at the coast resort in Station 2 Xmas week last December the Algae was there the too a local blogger there says the algae stays that way til June
@@daffyduck7328 I was last here Feb 2020, it wasn't as bad. But weather hasn't been the greatest so far. I'm here for a couple of months so as it heats up I can see with my own eyes.
@@daffyduck7328 I'm at Crimson today. No Algae here 👍
@@FindingParadise Nice Rob make Crimson Video are you staying at Treehouse Villa again at Shangrila I hope you can make a ferry trip to Palawan
Hi sir were are you today dis is my YTC
Thanks. Sorry I have been busy. Hope you are doing well
I’m pretty sure that’s not as cheap as just flying to Boracay!!because I would imagine I have to take breaks like you did spend more money especially if you’re staying over in hotels wouldn’t be better just to fly from cebu to Boracay????
Definitely not cheaper. It's more for the adventure and it's a lot longer!
@@FindingParadise so it cost More like that than to just fly ?
@@kennydinthephilippines2655 what I mean is the way I took was more expensive for sure. Flying is a much better way and cheaper.
@@FindingParadise well the look on your face in the video of how tired you was it was priceless so well well worth it hahaha
I'm from boracay uptown resort
How's things
I think taking the plane is cheaper.
Yes for sure. I had to pay for a hotel as well as meals.
That's a long drive, I think I will hitch a plane ride instead. Saves me a neck ache riding that bus. Hahaha!
Took the hard way there! If people were ever thinking of going this way probably put them off now!
I guess this is the worst time to visit Boracay! Those green algae is so gross! Better to stay at Lakawon Island! Looks a lot prettier!
Well I was in Boracay in Feb 2020 and the algae wasn't bad at all. So it seems some years are worse than others.
Do you still need reservations to go to Boracay? Can you go free style and find a hotel once you get there?
You still need a reservation at this stage.
I think taking airplane from cebu to boracay is more cheaper and convenient…..
Yes, flying is definitely the easier way! This way I took is if you looking for more of an adventure which isn't going to be everyones cup of tea.
Ur pronunciation of Philippine cities is very painful
My singing is even worse
