PHILIPPINES KITESURFING HOLIDAYS

Kitesurfing holidays in Philippines will lead you to discover scenic beaches, magnificent lakes, breathtaking caves, world-class marine reserves and alluring kitesurf sites. The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world. It has a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Its 36,289 kilometers of coastline makes it the country with the 5th longest coastline in the world. The steady 12-30 knot winds and warm weather create ideal sailing conditions. The tropical seas and consistent winds of the Philippines make the country a paradise for kitesurfing. In Boracay the water is always warm and the lagoon is shallow enough to stand in most places. It’s perfect for beginner to extreme kitesurfers looking for perfect mixture of sun, sea and surf. An offshore coral reef protects it from the onshore waves and swells, so beginners can start inside and experts can go out.
The Philippines have many festivals and processions. The majority of the cultural celebrations are closely related to the Catholic religion. Nearly 90% of the Filipinos are Roman Catholic. Many of their religious ceremonies and festivals are in the following months: January, April, May and June.  
 
For the Filipinos themselves, every year the festivals and processions are days of great joy and happiness. Almost all celebrations feature music, dancing, and food feasts. The most well-known festivals are the procession of the Black Nazarene, the Ati-Atihan, the Sinulog, the Flores de Mayo and the Santa Cruzan. 
The currency in the Philippines is the peso (PhP) and the Centavo. 100 centavos = P1. Coin denominations are: 1, 5, 10, and 25 centavos, P1, and P5. Bill denominations are: 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1, 000 pesos.
 
Foreign currency may be exchanged at your hotel, and in most of the large department stores, banks and authorised money changing shops. Exchanging money anywhere else is illegal and the laws are strictly enforced.
 
Most large stores, restaurants, hotels and resorts accept major credit cards including American Express, Visas and MasterCard. Travellers cheques, preferably American Express, are accepted at hotels and large department stores. Personal cheques drawn on foreign banks are generally not accepted.

Boracay Kitesurf Holidays

Best for - Beginner (7/10), improver (6/10), Intermediate (10/10)

The beautiful island of Boracay is located around 300km south of Manila, accessed by internal flight plus a 30-60 minute transfer. The Island has won numerous awards in prestigious travel magazines for its stunning beaches. The windward side of the island is quite quiet, with just a few hotels, and the main focus of the kitesurfing in the wind season from November to April. Around a 10-15 minute walk the other side of the island is where you will find numerous good quality hotels and beach bars, this side can be very busy.

Boracay makes for a fantastic holiday destination as it offers the rare combination of stunning beaches, relatively quiet on the kitesurfing side (with protected lagoon for beginners and improvers), but then great nightlife and atmosphere close by when you want it. This combination makes Boracay a good choice for both a dedicated kitesurf holiday but also with enough to satisfy any non-kitesurfing partner or family.

Planet offer a unique combination of luxury accommodation on Boracay together with tailor made tour add-ons taking you to a selection of locations encompassing the very best that The Philippines has to offer.
