12 HOUR Overnight 2GO Ferry From MANILA To BORACAY ISLAND 🏝️ Philippines on a BUDGET! 🇵🇭

Travelling the Philippines on a budget can be quite difficult as it’s HUGE and transport options are limited. If you are backpacking like us and without a proper itinerary, you may have to book last minute flights which can be expensive!
We found a way of getting from Manila to Boracay Island for just 2,200 pesos (£30pp) on this 12 hour, overnight sleeper ferry. The vessel was called St Augustine of Hippo and we booked it through the company 2GO.
Keep watching to see what our experience was like, how comfy the beds are, what the food is like and if we’d recommend taking the same journey!
Thank you for watching 🇵🇭❤️✌🏼

    @@TheBlagPackers If you're going to Cebu, here are some food places to check out: 1. Larsian - Filipino-style skewered meats. "Barbecue", so to speak. 2. Rico's or CnT - Lechon 3. Dimsum Break OR Harbour City - Steamed fried rice, actually rice with a saucy pork topping, really, really good, you won't find this outside of Cebu 4. Any "pungko-pungko" vendor (ask a local where the nearest ones are to where you're staying) - A variety of fried food items: hotdogs, pork belly, and "ginabot" (mesentery, a must-try, you won't regret it) 5. Sunburst Fried Chicken - They have a bunch of branches all over Cebu (the brand actually originated in Iligan City but it became very popular in Cebu)
