Getting Here
" From Caticlan, the only way to reach the Island is by boat. Be prepared to get wet, from the occasional splash, rain, or the quick wade to the beach. Shorts, T-shirts and slippers are de rigueur on boat trips."
How to get here
Boracay is only a short 15-minute boat ride from Caticlan
From the Philippines’ capital of Manila it is just a 1 hour flight to Caticlan (Aklan province on Panay), which is the closest airport to Boracay island. From Caticlan airport it is a 5 minute tricycle ride to the local jetty port then a quick 15 minute banca boat ride to Cagban beach, the new port for arrivals and departures on Boracay.
Getting Around the Island
Boracay is criss-crossed with a network of roads with one Main Road traversing centrally the island's 7-km length. The many minor roads that intersect it lead you to any of the beaches, resorts and other points of interest.
The ubiquitous "tricycle" (motorized pedicab) is the classic mode of transport.Daytime fare per passenger is P7 for any trip on flat area, or Main Road, between Boat Stations 1 and 3. Fares are higher for trips beyond these Stations. Nighttime rates are doubled, and often negotiable.
If you don't want to be confined to the Main Road, you can rent a mountain bike to explore the Island away from the beaten path. Rentals vary.
