Since large parties and organized sports events are still not allowed, Boracay will probably appeal more now to couples, families, and small groups of friends who want to enjoy a refreshing getaway and celebrate special occasions in the tropical island paradise.Visitors planning to enter Boracay just need to present the following to get their tourist QR code:

It really helped that Hue Hotel and Resorts Boracay, where we were booked, had their own accredited clinic in Manila and the medical test requirement is part of their package stay. Airlines require all passengers, staff, and crew to wear both face masks and face shields properly while inside the airport and on board the plane for the duration of the flight.

Social distancing in public transportation is being enforced even in the ferry boat taking you from Caticlan jetty port to Boracay island, meaning trips are less crowded and more comfortable. Of course, once you go swimming in the beach or a swimming pool or enjoy your well-deserved cocktail or beer by the beach, you obviously have to shed your masks, which feels like the equivalent of freedom in this pandemic age.

Hotels have also stepped up their sanitation procedures and limit the seating areas per table in their dining and common areas and elevators. The current low occupancy rate means you get to enjoy hotel amenities such as the picturesque swimming pool all to yourself, making it perfect for introverts who normally avoid Boracay and party-going crowds.

It’s best to double-check with restaurants and make table reservations, because the hours displayed on some Facebook pages may not be updated or may change depending on the expected guests. The cost of island-hopping tours has been lowered to encourage more tourists to book tours. According to hotel staff, island-hopping now costs only P750 per person down from the previous P1,500 for joiners tours. However, it may be more expensive for families and groups who would like to charter private tours for their own peace of mind.
