Boracay Malay Aklan


Boracay Island in Aklan is the place to be! Dahil apat na oras lang ang byahe namin galing sa aking hometown (Mambusao, Capiz)

Umalis kami ng 5:00am from Mambusao Capiz (My Hometown), pagkatapos ng mahabang byahe mga apat na oras nakarating kami ng 9:00am sa Caticlan Port via Kalibo Aklan.
 Bus Fare going to Caticlan Port - 140 pesos 
Ferry Boat going to Boracay Port from Caticlan Port - 25 pesos
Tricycle going to white beach- 20 pesos
Note: hindi kami siningil ng Environmental Fee dahil ang kasama ko ay residente ng Aklan.


Travel time - 15 minutes papuntang white beach


Life Jacket - para sa safety ng iyong paglalakbay.hehehe!

HOW TO GET BORACAY FROM ABROAD

The airport that is closest to the island of Boracay is a facility in Caticlan in Aklan. The airport can receive direct flights from Manila from companies with smaller airlines like Asian Spirit now known as SEA air. You can get to Caticlan from your country if you get a flight to the Philippines from your countrys airline via Manila. You can also get a flight with the Philippine Airlines which operates in major cities in the world. Upon reaching Manila you can book for a local airline from South East Asian Airline or Asian Spirit bound for Caticlan. There are daily flights so it is better to book ahead of time via their websites. From Manila you can reach Caticlan Airport in just thirty five minutes. You can also connect a flight from Cebu City and Clark Airport.
Another airport near Boracay is Kalibo. Kalibos Airport is farther from Boracay than Caticlan. Kalibo has a bigger airport so airline companies like Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific land here. Their airlines are bigger. You can take a direct flight from Manila and in thirty five minutes you have already reached Kalibo. Guests or tourists who chose to go to Caticlan are asked to go to the port by taking the tricycles while tourists who go to Kalibo can either take a van or a bus to go to the port. In the port you take a ferry ride going to the island itself.
The cost for airfare from countries abroad like United States and United Kingdom going to Manila can reach one thousand dollars up to two thousand dollars. From Manila you can take a local flight to Kalibo or Caticlan airports with return airfares that costs one hundred fifty dollars for each person. There are seasonal promotional flights which are highly discounted so it is better to check the websites first. Excess baggage of ten kilograms will have an additional cost.
Some airlines offer promos for passengers who will travel light. If you are coming from Kalibo you can ride a bus with air-conditioning system for four hundred fifty pesos. This is a convenient way to transfer to the port. You can also take the local vehicle called the jeepney which costs seventy pesos only per person. You can also take a local van called multicab which is similar to a jeep but sturdier for eighty five pesos. These are all available in Kalibo only. In Caticlan you can only take the tricycle going to the port.
It is also possible to get to Boracay from Manila via a boat. A company that offers ferry services to Boracay is MBRS which has regular ships going to Boracay. You can call 243-5888 for their schedule.
Tourists can also ride the RORO or the roll-on and roll-off services. Passengers ride a bus and then ride on the ferry. From Cubao city travels to Batangas then from the Batangas port you get on the ferry then it goes to the Calapan port which is located in Mindoro. Upon reaching the port in Roxas city the bus will run via land going to Caticlan. The travel is usually twelve hours long but this is the cheapest way to reach Boracay. This costs just seven hundred pesos for buses with no air-con and eight hundred fifty pesos with air-condition. You can choose your seat though so it is better to book ahead of time. Passengers should also buy a lot of food like snacks and water for the long travel.
