Adventurous backpackers considering a trip to the Philippine island of Boracay might first buy
cheap travel insurance.
Asiaone.com reports that Boracay is not an easy place to get to but for backpackers looking for a little adventure with a big pay-off it could be just the thing.
People travelling from Singapore will need to take two flights, a jeep ride and then a boat trip, which amounts to a full day's journey but Boracay itself presents stunning beaches and crystal clear seas as a reward for those looking to escape the tourist throngs.
Already renowned among windsurfers from around the world, the seven-kilometre island offers both excellent surfing conditions and quieter spots for the more laidback traveller.
The island provides accommodation for all budgets, from luxury hotels for those keen to splash out, through to basic huts, while the local food is a healthy mix of global cuisine. English breakfasts are available for those who want them.
A golf course offers one of the many activities on offer on the island.
