BoracayCompass - The Ultimate Guide

5 years ago

Hi I'm Paul, I started BoracayCompass to help travelers make the most of their stay on the island.

I do this through publishing very detailed in-depth guides about all things Boracay, such as what the fun things to do are, where to stay, how to get there etc. Basically, everything you need to know about the island.
