How to get from Caticlan International Airport to Boracay? In this article, we’ll take you through the transfer process one step at a time. We’ll also discuss the travel requirements, transfer fees, and other important details you need to know before your trip to Boracay.
The first thing you need to understand about Boracay is that there is no airport within the island. Instead, it is served by two airports that are both located in mainland Aklan: Kalibo International Airport (KLO), situated roughly 2.5 hours away; and the much closer Caticlan International Airport (MPH), less than 10 minutes away.
Caticlan Airport is more formally known as Godofredo P. Ramos Airport but is now being marketed as Boracay Airport. Because of its proximity to the island, it is the preferred gateway by most Boracay-bound travelers. Thankfully, it underwent major renovations and the runway was extended to accommodate bigger aircraft and more passengers.
Over the years, the Boracay entry protocol has changed quite a lot, no thanks to the pandemic. But here’s the latest, as of April 2023.
By the way, the DIY guide below is for budget travelers and it involves tricycle rides. If, for whatever reason, you want a more comfortable journey, a good option is to book Klook’s packaged transfer service. Aside from the air-conditioned van transfer from Caticlan Airport to the jetty port, you will also be assisted through the port processes and the driver can help you with your luggage. The price already includes the van airport transfer, boat crossing, and multi-cab hotel transfer.
WHAT’S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?
As of this writing, there are only three documents you need to present:
