Hennan Transfer
Day 1 — Sunday, June 14
Arrival · Settle in · First sunset
Morning
Fly to Caticlan Airport (MPH)
Book earliest available flight. Pack or wear your swimwear on top — skip the resort changing room rush. Confirm luggage tags are clearly marked before boarding.
Arrival
Hennan Transfer — airport pick-up
Your Hennan vehicle meets you at Caticlan Airport, handles the bangka crossing to Boracay, and delivers you directly to Crystal Sands. Luggage is taken care of — just sit back and enjoy the crossing.
12 PM
Check-in · Crystal Sands Resort, Station 1
Request a sea-facing upper-floor room at check-in — worth it for the anniversary view. Drop bags, change into swimwear, and head straight to the beach. No delays.
1 PM
Lunch · Aria Restaurant (in-resort)
Easy first meal with a great beach view. Fresh seafood, pasta, and a kid-friendly menu. Order the grilled fish and garlic rice. Let the little one explore while you decompress.
3 PM
First beach time · Station 1 beachfront
Station 1 has the finest white sand and calmest water — perfect for kids. Rent a beach umbrella + 2 chairs (₱300–500/set from resort). Let the little one splash while you finally breathe.
6 PM
Sunset walk · White Beach promenade
Walk from Station 1 toward Station 2 along the waterline. June sunsets here are warm and vivid. Stop for a buko shake from a beachside vendor (₱50–80). Hold hands. Take it all in.
7:30 PM
Dinner · Real Coffee & Tea Café
Beachfront dining, relaxed and romantic without being stuffy. Order the grilled tanigue, garlic rice, and their famous honey lemon tea. Kid-friendly and perfect for a first-night anniversary dinner.
💡 Day 1 tip
Pre-save your Hennan transfer confirmation number on your phone. June is off-peak — the beach is less crowded than you expect. Enjoy that. Confirm your arrival time with Hennan 24 hrs before your flight.
Day 2 — Monday, June 15
Anniversary Day · Beach · Sunset Sailing · Fine Dining
7 AM
Early morning beach walk
White Beach before 7:30AM is a completely different island — almost no one, soft light, calm water. Let the kid sleep or bring them along for a quiet stroll. This hour is yours.
8 AM
Breakfast · Real Coffee & Tea Café
Hands-down the best breakfast in Boracay. Order the cinnamon rolls (legendary), fresh mango shake, and a full silog plate. Opens early, beachfront, never disappoints. Kid will love the shakes.
10 AM
Full beach day · Crystal Sands beachfront
No agenda. Umbrella, chairs, cold drinks. Let the kid build sandcastles. Take turns swimming in warm June water. Nap in the shade. This is the whole point of the trip.
12:30 PM
Lunch · resort restaurant (in-resort)
Easy poolside or beachfront lunch. Order the seafood platter for two — kid can have pasta or chicken. Zero tricycle needed, maximum chill maintained.
2 PM
Afternoon pool time · Crystal Sands pool
Resort pool is perfect for the little one — shallower end, safe for kids. Parents take turns floating or napping in the shade. Pure, unscheduled rest.
5 PM
Sunset paraw sailing · boat station
Book directly at the beachfront boat station (₱800–1,200 for the family, negotiate). 45 minutes on the water as the sun sets. Kid will love it. You two will love it more. This is the anniversary photo.
7:30 PM
Anniversary dinner · Dos Mestizos
Spanish-Filipino fine dining, Station 1. The best celebration dinner on the island — intimate atmosphere, outstanding paella, excellent wine list. Call ahead to mention your anniversary. Kid has a lighter menu option. Dress nicely.
Night
Nightcap · beachfront stroll
Walk the lit-up promenade. Fresh coconut or a cold San Mig from a vendor. Kid joins until 9PM then back to the room for bedtime while you two enjoy the night breeze and each other.
❤️ Anniversary tip
Call Dos Mestizos a day before and tell them it’s your anniversary. They often arrange a complimentary dessert, candle setup, or a table upgrade. Small gesture, lasting memory.
Day 3 — Tuesday, June 16
Island Hopping · Snorkeling · Puka Beach
7 AM
Breakfast · Jonah’s Fruit Shake & Snack Bar
Iconic Boracay breakfast stop — fresh mango shake, banana pancakes, silog. Cheap and good. Kid will love the fruit shakes. Light meal before a morning on the water. Budget: ₱100–200/person.
8:30 AM
Island hopping · private bangka
Book a private bangka for the 3 of you directly at the boat station — ₱1,500–2,500 for the whole boat (NOT through the hotel). Covers Crystal Cove, Crocodile Island, and Puka Shell Beach. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, snorkel mask, and the kid’s life vest.
9 AM
Crystal Cove Island · caves & views
Two dramatic caves to explore (₱150/adult, ₱100/kid entry), natural pools, and cliffside panoramas. The inner cave is dark and cool — kid will think it’s an adventure. Allow 45–60 min.
10:30 AM
Crocodile Island · snorkeling
Best snorkeling near Boracay — colorful coral, clownfish, parrotfish, and sea turtles if you’re lucky. Keep the kid in a life vest and hold their hand in the water. 30–45 minutes.
12 PM
Lunch · Puka Shell Beach restaurants
Your boatman stops here for lunch. Small open-air restaurants right on the beach — grilled tuna, garlic rice, and fresh buko. Quieter and more natural than White Beach. Let the kid collect shells. Budget: ₱150–300/person.
2 PM
Back to resort · afternoon rest
Full morning on the water means tired but happy. Quick shower, nap for the little one, quiet afternoon at the beach or pool. Cold drinks, do nothing. That’s the plan.
5:30 PM
Sunset at Station 2 beachfront
Walk to Station 2 for the widest stretch of beach at golden hour. Grab a cold San Mig or mango on a stick from the vendors. June skies are dramatic and warm-toned.
7 PM
Dinner · Hobbit House Boracay
Fun and kid-friendly — themed décor, good burgers and Filipino-Western menu, lively without being too loud. Perfect family dinner after an adventure day. Budget: ₱300–500/person.
💡 Day 3 tip
June can have light afternoon showers — island hopping usually finishes before any rain. Pack a small waterproof layer for the kid. Bring motion sickness tabs if the little one is sensitive on boats — open water crossings can be bouncy.
Day 4 — Wednesday, June 17
Last morning · Check-out · Hennan Transfer home
6:30 AM
Last sunrise walk · White Beach
Even 30 minutes barefoot on the sand at dawn is worth setting the alarm. June mornings are still and quiet. Take the photos you forgot to take all trip. Let this be the last memory you make here.
7:30 AM
Breakfast · Café del Sol
Cozy café near Station 2. Good espresso, Filipino breakfast, and excellent pastries. Light meal before the journey. Don’t overeat if you’re taking the bangka crossing. Budget: ₱200–300/person.
9 AM
Check-out · Crystal Sands
Settle any resort charges. Ask to leave luggage at the front desk if your Hennan pickup is later — most resorts allow this so you can squeeze in one final beach dip. Savour every last minute.
9:30 AM
Last beach time + D’Mall pasalubong
Quick pasalubong run — dried mango, pearl earrings, ref magnets for the office. Or skip it entirely and spend those last minutes in the sand. No wrong answer.
11 AM
Hennan Transfer — resort to Caticlan Airport
Return Hennan Transfer picks up at Crystal Sands. Covers the bangka crossing and drops you at the Caticlan Airport terminal. Confirm pickup time with Hennan the evening before departure.
Afternoon
Flight home · Caticlan Airport (MPH)
Arrive at least 1.5 hrs before departure. Caticlan is small — check-in is fast but security lines can build up in the morning rush. Already planning the return trip.
💡 Departure tip
Confirm your Hennan return transfer the night before — give them your exact flight time so they schedule the pickup perfectly. The bangka to Caticlan takes 15 min, plus 10 min to the airport terminal. Don’t cut it close.

📍 Boracay, Philippines 🌊 June 14–17, 2026
4 days, 3 nights, 2 adults, 1 very happy kid — and one anniversary we will never forget. 💍🌅
We stayed at Crystal Sands in Station 1 and waking up to that view every single morning was already more than enough. But we didn’t stop there.
Day 1 → Arrived via Hennan Transfer (zero stress, luggage handled, bangka included), checked into our sea-view room, and walked straight into the most beautiful sunset we’d seen in years. First dinner at Real Coffee & Tea with our feet almost in the sand. Perfect start.
Day 2 → This was the day. Morning beach walk before the crowd arrived. Pool, beach, cold drinks, and doing absolutely nothing — which is everything. Sunset paraw sailing at 5PM — the whole family on the water as the sky turned orange. Then anniversary dinner at Dos Mestizos: paella, sangria, candlelight. Couldn’t have written it better.
Day 3 → Island hopping! Crystal Cove caves, Crocodile Island snorkeling, and lunch on Puka Shell Beach. [Your kid’s name] collected enough shells to fill a backpack and didn’t want to leave. Hobbit House for dinner — kid-approved and parent-approved.
Day 4 → Last sunrise walk on White Beach at 6:30AM. One final cinnamon roll at Real Coffee & Tea. Hennan Transfer back to Caticlan, easy and stress-free all the way home.
To my person — happy anniversary. Every year with you is better than the last. Here’s to more oceans, more sunsets, and more adventures with our little one right beside us. 🥂
