HOW TO GET THERE

Via Air
You can take a 1-hour flight from Manila to Kalibo via Philippine Airlines, or Cebu Pacific. 
You can also opt for the same 1-hour flight from Manila to Caticlan via Asian Spirit. 
On the other hand, the newest player in the domestic air transport, Interisland Airlines, now offers a less-than-1-hour flying time to Caticlan via its jet planes.
Meanwhile, Seair is proudly to promoting its 35-minute flight to Caticlan using its Dornier 328 aircraft.

Once in Kalibo, you will need to take a two-hour ride to the Caticlan jetty, or a 20-minute ride if you are from the Caticlan airport. 
Southwest Tours, Island Star Express and 7107 Island Tours ply the route from Kalibo Airport to Caticlan with air-conditioned buses or coasters. Other means of reaching Caticlan are mini-vans, which are a little cheaper.

From the Caticlan jetty, you will have another 15-minute boat ride to the pristine powdery shores of Boracay.


Via Sea
MBRS Shipping Lines have two boats plying the route from Manila to Caticlan. The ships leave Manila's North Harbor, Pier 8, every Friday, Monday and Wednesday at 5 PM. Arrival time in Caticlan is the next day between 6 and 8 AM.

Other shipping companies service the route Manila to Dumaguit, half an hour east from Kalibo. The companies are WG&A and Negros Navigation.

You can take an 18-hour ride from the Manila pier to Dumaguit pier via Negros Navigation.

Via Land

Caticlan, the entry point for Boracay, can be reached also by private cars or air-conditioned buses, via the 'strong republic nautical highway', stretching from Batangas, Luzon, to Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao. A RoRo (Roll On - Roll Off) vessel leaves Batangas daily at 8.30 AM to Calapan, Mindoro. From there drive your own car or board a mini-van or air-conditioned bus to Roxas, Mindoro, where another RoRo vessel leaves at 2 PM for Caticlan, where the boat arrives at 6 PM. Private cars can be parked at one of the many shady and secured parking lots for a fee. No cars are allowed on Boracay Island. The same RoRo vessel leaves Caticlan daily at 9 AM.

Other Arrangement

From Iloilo to Caticlan:  Ceres Bus has regular bus schedules, some of them air conditioned, from Iloilo to Kalibo and three times daily directly to Caticlan. GM Liner is another bus company plying the route Iloilo - Caticlan with air-conditioned buses twice daily in both directions. Alternatives are the mini-vans from Iloilo to Kalibo and another mini-van from there to Caticlan. Another alternative is to rent a taxi from Iloilo directly to Caticlan. The trip Iloilo to Caticlan takes between 4 to 7 hours.
