How to get to Boracay Island

Choose your gateway to Boracay

Kalibo or Caticlan


Kalibo is farther, requiring around 2 hours of travel time to caticlan jetty airport then 15 minutes by ferry/boat to Boracay, but fares are much cheaper than caticlan.

From Caticlan, requiring around 15 mins of travel time to boarcay . But fares are way more expensive.


From Kalibo Airport you need to ride a bus/van and a ferry/boat going to boracay island. I advise you to book your round trip transfer at Southwest tours for a hassle free transfer.

Southwest Tours - "an agency providing pickup and drop-off service between both airport and the Boracay resort of your choice. Southwest Tours offers cushy air-conditioned land transport and a guaranteed reserved seat on the day of your flight. Many Boracay resorts outsource their airport pickup services to Southwest." 

*If you will avail their round trip transfer, Southwest tours will pick you up 5 hours before your flight so better book your flight back to manila at the evening so you could still enjoy your last day at the island.

We stayed at Jay jays Club for 3 days & 2 nights. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The facilities are perfect (Jacuzzi, billiards, swimming pool & roof deck) for a vacation. A place you can truly relax & definitely enjoy the view. The room is clean, with fridge, safe box, TV and aircon.  The standard room we stayed in was excellent. Clean, spacious with a massive bed and a large bathroom. The bathroom is okay, with functional heater which is important for everyone. The room was cleaned daily and the bed was changed regularly.

It is located in station 1 and the price is cheaper than other station 1 hotels nearby. It is located behind the church, which is also near a 24/7 convenience store and 2 mins walk to the beach.

It is also close to Jonah's Fruit shake.

Overall it's a great experience :)
