Getting Here

Getting to Boaracay...

Fly from Manila or Cebu to Caticlan (MPH - Godofredo P. Ramos Airport) the closest airport to Boracay. The flight is less than 1 hour. From Caticlan Airport it is a 5-minute drive to Caticlan Jetty Port, then a 10-minute boat ride to Cagban Jetty Port on Boracay, followed by a 10-minute drive to the Boracay on the Beach apartments.

Alternatively, there are international flights into Kalibo (KLO). You can then take a van, available at the airport, or use the Ceres Bus to get to Caticlan. It is a 67km journey and takes about 2 hours to arrive at the Caticlan Jetty Port.

We can organize transfers for you once you have made your reservation. This includes collection from Kalibo or Caticlan airports and passage 'door to door' to Boracay on the Beach. Costs will be additional and shall include all Terminal and Environmental fees.

You can choose to make your way to Caticlan Jetty Port, and then choose either the punt boat (approx. 25 pesos per person and half price for children <6) or the Oyster Ferry (50 pesos) to Boracay. You will need to pay a Terminal fee (100 pesos per person, and free for children <5 ) and the Environmental Fee (75 pesos per person, children <12 free).

If you do elect to arrange transfers yourself, we will still seek to meet you at Caticlan Port to assist with access to the island.

Once on the island, there is a queue for e-trikes or tricycles from Cagban Jetty Port.

Getting to the Apartments

To get to the apartments, take a tricycle to Angol Road, and ask to be taken to Angol Plaza as it is nearest to White Beach (cost should be approx. 150 pesos per tricycle). It is then a 1-2 minute walk along the White Beach Path, remember to turn right when you reach the beach to get to the Beachfront or Rooftop apartments.

You will pass Island Staff Dive Shop, Nagisa Japanese restaurant, 357 Hotel and will arrive in front of Casa Camilla. The apartments are above.

Guests travelling from overseas may choose to stay overnight in Manila. Let us know your plans and we can provide recommendations.

Habagat

From late June to late September the time of year is characterized by westerly winds, called Habagat. This means that there are some changes to how you get to Boracay from Caticlan.

Punt boats still run but travel to Tambisaan on the southeast of the island, the process is the same, only the e-trike or tricycle ride to Angol Plaza is a couple of minutes longer. The Oyster Ferry still goes to Cagban Jetty Port as described above.

This change is because the westerly winds make Tambisaan a more reliable arrival point for the smaller and less powerful punt boats. You can still book with Southwest or MyBoracayGuide.

It is worth noting that during Habagat the weather is hot and humid, the water is warm and you still get clear blue days and clear water. On White Beach, the morning tides are at their highest, and in the evening low tide creates a wide and open beach for sunset views, volleyball and frisbees. Sunset sailing remains, and so too do island hopping and other water sports.

You will get more days of surf rather than just flat water. This adds to the mix and experience of Boracay. Once this was considered the low season. These days with a multicultural mix of tourists, it remains an active part of the year. You will see windbreaks and other island preparations that make your stay very much part of the Boracay experience.

Money

There are many banks in Boracay, so accessing funds through ATMs is straightforward. You do sometimes need to shop about if ATMs are out of action. There are also money exchange locations but you will likely get better rates in Manila or before traveling. It is worth noting that much of the Philippines and so too Boracay is cash-based. Restaurants and shops, supermarkets etc, will have credit card facilities. But they do not always work. You should carry some cash generally for tricycles, island hopping, smaller restaurants, etc.
