How to Get from Caticlan to Boracay

What a beautiful day we had on Boracay today!

Yours truly, however, was mostly indoors helping the sun-seekers plan their Boracay trips.  Today inspired me to blog about one of the most common questions I get asked, how do I get from Caticlan to Boracay?

It’s understandable that people are a little worried about this leg of the trip.  With all of the careful planning for one’s ultimate Boracay getaway who wants to get stuck out in the heat in Caticlan without knowing what to do next?  Luckily it’s not that hard.

Let the curtain be pulled back and the mystery revealed!

The simplest way to make the trip is to book your transport through MyBoracayGuide.com  via this page:  www.MyBoracayGuide.com/transportation.html This no hassle all-inclusive transport gets you from either Caticlan or Kalibo airports to your hotel’s front door quickly and conveniently.

If you would like to make the trip yourself here are the easy to follow instructions:

Boracay - How To Get From Caticlan To Boracay

1. Caticlan Airport to Caticlan Port – After getting out of the small airport go to the right. There will be a line up of Motor Tricycles (trikes). The ride costs 50 PhP per trike for the five-minute trip to the port.

2. Caticlan Port to Boracay Port – The Jetty Port has Bangka pump boats that ferry between the Caticlan mainland and Boracay Island from Sunrise to Sunset. There are sometimes ferries after dark, but not reliably so. The Bangka trip is 25 PhP, however non-residents also pay a 50 PhP environmental fee, and a 50 PhP Terminal fee. You need to get these tickets outside the Jetty Port before you enter. The trip from mainland to the island is 20 minutes. If you have heavy luggage, there are porters to assist you at 20 PhP per item tip.

3. Boracay Port to White Beach – Depending on the season, you will arrive at one of two Boracay Ports – Cagban Port in the High Season and Tambisaan Port in the Low Season. The distance from either to White Beach is about ten minutes. There will be a long line of Motortrikes to take you from the port to White Beach. This trip is 100 PhP per motortrike, or 150 PhP if you are foreigner.

4. White Beach – The Motortrikes cannot go to the actual beach, but will leave you on the Main Road with a path that leads down to White Beach. The larger paths have pedal trikes that can take you down to your resort, or you can walk the five minutes. The Motortrike drivers should know the right drop off place for most Boracay hotels.

As you can see, getting from Caticlan to Boracay isn’t as hard as one might think.  Remember, if you don’t want to worry about it and choose to have all of this taken care of for you, we at MyBoracayGuide can help you arrange transport via www.MyBoracayGuide.com/transportation.html

          Iloilo City – Kalibo – Caticlan

          Ceres Bus and GM Liner both operate regular and frequent buses running both directions between these towns, some of them air-conditioned.

          Ceres buses from Iloilo to Kalibo take 3 to 5 hours, while its Iloilo to Kalibo take 6 to 7 hours and run three times daily.

          Iloilo Phone: +63-33-321-2591 & 337-0456

          GM Liner buses between Iloilo and Caticlan run twice daily and take 6 to 8 hours.

          Iloilo Phone: +63-33-337-5605 & 508-7406

          Mini-Vans also run both directions between these towns. Iloilo to Caticlan non-stop takes 4 to 5 hours. The trip may also be broken up, with a 3 to 4 hour ride from Iloilo to Kalibo, and a second ride from Kalibo to Caticlan of 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours.

          Taxis will take you non-stop from Iloilo to Caticlan in 3 to 4 hours. This is a faster but more expensive way to travel.

      That would be cutting it close, though you would still have the option of privately chartering a banka.

    Hi there! I have been reading the thread; I learned that ferries run until about 10:00 PM, however, I am still a bit worried as we will be arriving at Kalibo airport at around 6:40 PM on June 9. Say, we are able to take the bus by 7:30 PM bound Caticlan, do you think we have a chance to catch the last ferry trip? Thanks so much!

      The earliest normal banka trip is 5am. You can however arrange earlier transport directly with the people at the port. This will cost you 1500 PHP. If you have booked transport through My Boracay Guide we can arrange a 4am banka for you. Please note that My Boracay Guide transport is available exclusively to our guests.

      The van to Kalibo takes about 1.5 hours.

      You can find inns in Caticlan for around 500 PHP a night. One that I know of is called Torres Lodge.

      One thing to keep in mind is that you can likely find a room for this price on Boracay island.

    I am visiting Boracay will be landing at Kalibo at 19.15h on Thursday. My question is, is it too late to get a mini van and then a boat to reach Boracay the same day? maybe there are no boat crossing the channel at around 22.00¿?

      Thank you! Glad you like the site.

      You can certainly get a van to Caticlan at that time and there will be bankas ferrying people over to Boracay till 10pm. If for some reason you arrive later than that you can always charter a banka to take you across (1500 PHP).

    Your website is very helpful. My husband and I are planning to go to Boracay this May 2010. I’m confused with some fees mentioned. For example, the airport terminal fee from manila to kalibo is 200pesos. Are we going to pay another 200pesos also going back from kalibo to manila? Same with the environment fee which is 50pesos and terminal port fee which is another 50pesos? Or are we going to pay it only one time? Thanks again.

      Hi,

      It is the transport fee which is 200 PHP. Therefore you would also pay it for the return trip. For the other fees, you pay the port and environmental going to Boracay and only the port coming back.

    Hello!

    I was glad I’ve seen your site!
    It’s very informative:)
    But I still have questions to ask. We’re planning to visit Bora on the teen of december and it’ll will be our first time that’s why I’m pretty much particular on not to spoil it.
    Tentatively we’re getting PAL Manila-Caticlan after that, I’ve followed your instructions below.

    1. Caticlan Airport to Caticlan Port – After getting out of the small airport go to the right. There will be a line up of Motor Tricycles (trikes). The ride costs 50 PhP per trike for the five-minute trip to the port.

    2. Caticlan Port to Boracay Port – The Jetty Port has Bangka pump boats that ferry between the Caticlan mainland and Boracay Island from Sunrise to Sunset. There are sometimes ferries after dark, but not reliably so. The Bangka trip is 25 PhP, however non-residents also pay a 50 PhP environmental fee, and a 50 PhP Terminal fee. You need to get these tickets outside the Jetty Port before you enter. The trip from mainland to the island is 20 minutes. If you have heavy luggage, there are porters to assist you at 20 PhP per item tip.

    3. Boracay Port to White Beach – Depending on the season, you will arrive at one of two Boracay Ports – Cagban Port in the High Season and Tambisaan Port in the Low Season. The distance from either to White Beach is about ten minutes. There will be a long line of Motortrikes to take you from the port to White Beach. This trip is 100 PhP per motortrike, or 150 PhP if you are foreigner.

    4. White Beach – The Motortrikes cannot go to the actual beach, but will leave you on the Main Road with a path that leads down to White Beach. The larger paths have pedal trikes that can take you down to your resort, or you can walk the five minutes. The Motortrike drivers should know the right drop off place for most Boracay hotels.

    FROM HERE how will i get to Shangri-la Hotel?(It is the closest hotel we have status)
    is there any other means of transportation other than trike?

    *I’ve considered the instructions in this link http://www.myboracayguide.com/transportation.html as well for an option.
    what is the best deal to get?

    What station is Shangrila located?
    And what station do you suggest to spend most of our time?(which includes fun, activities etc)
    and is it far from Shang?

    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanx.

      Hello!

      Following those directions will get you to Boracay island. We are not affiliated with Shangrila so I’m not sure what their transport options are. I’m sure they offer transport to their guests but I’m not sure of the price. You can contact them for more info. Shangrila is not on White beach so it does not have a station. It has its own private beach north of White Beach. To get to White Beach you will need to take a trike or use their transport. It should take about 10 minutes. I know Shangrila has their own activity center though my guess is that it’s more expensive than what you would find on White Beach. As for what activities to do, I think that’s up to you. There’s so much to choose from. Parasailing at sunset is one of my favorites.

    hi, is heavy traffic possible on bus ride Kalibo>Caticlan? a friend told me that it took them 8 hrs to get to boracay because of traffic. is this true?

    our flight is on Jan, 16 2010. i’m just worried that we’ll miss the last boat ride to boracay.

    thanks.

      Hello,

      The only way it would take this long to get to Caticlan is if there is a landslide, due to heavy rains, or a very serious accident. Normal traveling time is 1.5-2 hours.

    Hi there can I ask the step by step land travel from kalibo airport to boracay with exact fare of that ride and the means of tranportation. We will be riding Cebu pacific air and my other friend will be the Zest air. Thank you much and I’m hoping for your favorable response.

      Outside the Kalibo terminal you will be able to get on a Kalibo->Caticlan bus. The cost is 200 PHP. This will take you to the Caticlan Jetty port where you would then follow the procedure outlined in this blog.

      Hope that helps!

      Sea air will provide you with transport to Boracay. You just have to pay the port fees and environmental fee. Once on Boracay you can get a trike to your destination.

    Hi,

    This is an informative website. Cool. We’ll be going to boracay this late October and there are some information that it is barely for us. I would like to ask the following questions since we are via Kalibo airport. we’ll arrive in kalibo probably around 5:10pm and from there,

    1. From Kalibo airport, what tranportation are we going to take to caticlan?like tricyle to terminal bus.how much would be the fare for tricycle and on the bus.

    2. What would be the last trip from caticlan to bora?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    We need to get from Boracay on 10/02/2010 to catch an internatinal flight leaving Manila at 1135.
    Is this realistic?
    Are there any hotels/hostels near the airport?

      Hi,

      This is a great question. Lots of people find themselves in this situation and are unsure what to do.

      It is entirely possible to make your connecting flight IF there is no delay in your Caticlan -> Manila flight. Flight time to manila is about an hour and a taxi from the domestic terminal to the international terminal is 10-15 minutes.

      That being said, there is the possibility of your flight being delayed, canceled, or rerouted to leave out of Kalibo. When any of these things happen it is usually due to weather which can be unpredictable. THis makes me wonder, is your departure in October or February (not sure how you are writing the date there)? Because the likelihood of a weather delay in February is much lower.

      As for hotels near the manila airport this is the only one I know of that is right next to the airport: http://www.manila-airporthotel.com/

      I hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Me and my friends are planing to visit Boracay in january, we have heard that the plains Manila-Caticlan only are for
    persons under 100 kilos/ 200 pounds included bags. Me and my friends weight is around 150/300 pounds each without bags.
    Can´t we go to Boracay?

      I do not know about this rule. You should contact Sea Air directly (www.flyseair.com) as they are the only ones flying directly to Caticlan. Other airlines are flying into Kalibo and usually Kalibo-bound planes have more relaxed weight restrictions.

    Hi,

    I learned a lot from your website. My sister, me and 2 other friends are going to bora for the first time. Our flight to Kalibo from Manila is 310pm September 24, 2009. Are the ferry’s available until 10pm even if it is low season? Is it safe to travel at that time? Where can we book tickets for the ferry. I do apologize if I have a lot of questions. hehe. Thanks so much in advance! :)

      Hello!

      Great to hear you will be visiting Boracay. Yes, the Ferry’s are usually available till 10pm in low season, though I think with that arrival time in Kalibo you will get to the port before 10. If you were to get to the port and find that the regular ferries are not running then you could just charter one privately for 1500 Pesos. It is also safe to travel at that time. Boracay does it’s best to keep the tourists safe and happy. Ferry tickets are purchased right at the jetty port.

      No problem with the questions, this is what we are here for. Please let me know if there’s anything more I can do for you.

    Great site. Can you tell me what time the last ferry is from Caticlan to Boracay. We have ran into a problem, originally we were set to fly into Caticlan, but apparently they are not taking flights, so we will be arriving in Kaiblo at 510. Will we still make the last ferry if we hurry?

      You will have no problem getting a ferry once you arrive in Caticlan (probably about 7pm) as they generally run till 10pm or so.

    great website….my questions are, how do you get from Boracay Port to Bulabog Beach resorts such as Cohiba Villas,
    is it pretty much the same as going to white beach, trike up the main road and letting you off outside the property and
    walking the rest of the way and does it take about the same amount of time and trike fare?
    thanks for the help.

      Hi Tony,

      Thanks for the compliment. In answer to your question, yes, the process and fare are the same when going to Bulabog. For Cohiba Villas the trike will be able to pull right up to the resort.

      Hope that helps.
