There are 2 ways to get to Boracay:

1. Taking the Ferry – This involves going to the Batangas (3 or so hours) and then ferry from the Batangas ferry port to the Boracay ferry port. This ferry could take 12 to 13 hours. As you can see, this whole trip is too long and not recommended unless you really want to enjoy the ferry ride across the ocean.

2. Taking A Flight from Manila – This can be done 2 different ways.

A. From Manila Airport Kalibo Airport: About an hour flight. Then take an hour-and-a-half tricycle (or other vehicle) ride to the Caticlan Jerry Port. From Caticlan Jerry Port it’s a 15-minute boat ride to Cagban Port on Boracay Island. Your hotel will be a 15-minute ride from Cagban Boracay Port.

B. From Manila Airport to Caticlan Airport: About an hour flight. Then take a 10-minute tricycle (or other vehicle) ride to the Caticlan Jerry Port. The rest is the same as Option A – going to the Kalibo Airport.

As you can see, Option A and B are very similar, except that from the Kalibo airport you have to take an hour-and-a-half ride, whereas from the Caticlan Airport you have a 10-minute ride.

Obviously, going to the Caticlan Airport can save you a lot of time and make your Boracay trip a lot better.

One thing to keep in mind is that you will save a bit of money in airfares by choosing the Kalibo airport, but this may be a viable decision if you think it’s worth it.
