How to Go to Boracay from Caticlan Airport

Upon arrival at Caticlan Airport, take the walkway from the plane to the main building, go straight inside, follow the sign then turn left to the EXIT GATE. Before the Exit Gate, there are a couple of  booths offering various services on the left side - one of them is for tricycles that take passengers to the port. Head to that booth and ask for a ticket.  The staff will give you a ticket, put a sticker on your shirt and instruct you to go to the tricycle station which is just outside the airport main exit gate, about 100 meters across the road from the guard house. Follow the staff’s instructions and exit the airport. Once outside, there are a couple of buses and vans parked in front of the building.  Keep walking and  head to the exit gate on the left  side of the airport terminal with a security guard standing outside his booth.

From the airport gate, cross the road to the tricycle station. Give the ticket to the staff at the station and pay the fee (50.00 Php per passenger). The minimum passenger per tricycle is two people, if you are traveling alone, you could either wait for another passenger, ask other commuters if you could sit on the back of the tricycle, or pay for two tickets if you don’t mind paying extra. 

The tricycle will take five to ten minutes to reach the port. Once there, enter the building with a scanner in front. Proceed to the REGISTRATION and VERIFICATION COUNTER and present your ID and your hotel booking confirmation (confirmed accommodation address is required for registration).  Next, go to the ticketing booth and pay the TERMINAL FEE (regular: 150 Php; discounted: 120 Php), ENVIRONMENTAL FEE (foreign: 300 Php; local: 150 Php; discounted local: 120 Php), and the BOAT TICKET (50 Php).  

After paying all the necessary fees, follow the sign to the PUMP BOAT PASSENGER EXIT, give your ticket to the staff on the desk before the exit, then follow the other passengers going to the boat. 

Once the boat reaches the island, exit the port station and take an e-trike to your hotel. You can either ride on the trike with other passengers and pay 25 Php per person or pay 150 Php for the whole transport. Since motorized vehicles aren’t  allowed on the White Beach Path where Station 1,2, and 3 are located, the e-trike can’t  directly take you to your hotel. Instead, you could ask the driver to take you to D' Mall and you can walk from there to your accommodation.
