Craving the real Boracay?

Uncover the island's epic culinary journey! From hidden local bites to the global flavors that reshaped its plate, we're diving into Boracay's food revolution – before, during, and after its iconic closure. Taste the past, savor the present.

The island's food identity is in crisis. Is Boracay defined by the ancient, creamy richness of Aklanon Inubarang Manok, or the mass-market convenience of the Chori Burger? We dissect the dramatic transformation from subsistence fishing to a five-star gastronomic hub. This episode explores the high-stakes battle between recovering indigenous heritage (and Slow Food ethics) and the relentless pursuit of global luxury status. Which menu will win the soul of the Philippines' most famous island?

Ditch the drab city party for a costume rave on the sand! This episode of The Boracay Xplore Podcast reveals why Halloween is secretly the best time to be on the island. We break down the official 2025 event lineup: from the massive "Carnival of Freaks" and the Dia De Los Muertos fiestas, to the best kid-friendly trick-or-treat routes. Plus, we give you the insider scoop on the start of the perfect high-season weather. Stop freezing in your costume—come get your spooky on where the sand is white, the water is warm, and the only ghosts are last season's rain clouds.
