1. Hi Mara,

   Please see our guide to Boat fares below, thanks.

2. The 24 hour voat transfer, how much does it cost? Thanks!

3. Hi Ferlin,

   I would suggest that you get in touch with your hotel/resort and have them send you a complete (11pax) booking confirmation so as to avoid delay/problems when you get to Caticlan for verification.

4. Hello Chie,

   Sorry but we don’t have the rates for parking.

7. Hello Maddie,

8. Hi

   What are we going to do if only 4pax instead of 11pax booked in the hotel was printed in our booking voucher, in fact we booked 3 rooms.we were not able
   to check the number of pax upon booking since we are in a hurry that time.?Will there be any problem with the Tourist Verification?
   Thanks

9. We are planning to go to boracay via 2go boat and planning to bring our car to batangas. Are the parking areas at the port safe? Do you know the parking rates? Thanks! More power!

10. Hi, how much is the rate for roro if we will bring our own vehicle (van) and also do we have to pay for individual fares if yes, how much per person including kids?
    Thanks

11. Hi! Our flight was moved at 6:10 pm, and our arrival is expected to be around 7:30 pm, are there still boat transfers to boracay island by that time?

12. Do you have schedule of pump boat from Caticlan to Boracay?

13. Hi there,

    Everything is the same except for the Tricycle fare from Caticlan Airport to Jetty, which is now P100. Enjoy your Boracay vacation!

14. Hello Yebanim,

    I haven’t heard of such permits. I would suggest that you ask your friend or relative who lives here to meet you at the entry point (Caticlan/Tabon), but this doesn’t guarantee your entry. He or she will be asked to present proof of residence, and/or proof of your relationship, etc. Hope this helps.

15. Hi Evon,

    To answer inquiry #1, please read our Top 10 Beachfront Hotels/Resorts review
    #2 – Yes it is possible but not recommended at the moment since there are major road constructions all over the island.
    #3 – As long as you have a confirmed booking from a compliant resort or hotel, you’re fine. When you get to Caticlan Jetty Port, show personnel a copy of your confirmed booking. Next, pay terminal (P100), environmental (P75) fees and boat fare (P25 or P30). Happy travels.

16. Hi,

    We have a scheduled flight this dec 14, 2018. want to know if below computations still the same?.
    P50 – Trike from Caticlan Airport to Jetty (good for 3 pax)
    P200 – Terminal Fee (P100/pax X 2)
    P150 – Environmental fee (P75/pax X 2)
    P50 – Boat fare (P25/pax daytime X 2; 5:45pm onwards = P30/pax)
    P120- trike to your resort/hotel
    P570 – TOTAL transfers cost for 2 pax .

    Hoping for your response.

17. Hello,

    What if you’re visiting people who reside in the island and would be staying at their place?
    Are there permits issued for cases like this? TIA.

18. hi, would like to seek for advise:
    1) difference between the 3 station?
    2) possible to cycle the whole island? how long it takes?
    3) any pre-registration needed for entering the island since the government restricted the visitors amount per day?

    thanks for your help.

19. Hi there,

    The tricycle fare from Caticlan Jetty Port to Boracay (Caticlan) Airport is P50 good for 3 persons. You can find tricycles lined up across the Caticlan Jetty Port, beside the CERES bus station.

    Just in case, from Caticlan Port to KALIBO airport, there are vans available for P275 per person. You can find it right next to the tricycle station.

20. Hi Erelyn,

    Please refer to our post on Boracay Travel by boat (see RORO or Roll On Roll Off). Thanks and have a safe and happy travel.

21. Hello Tricia,

    If what you mean is to travel by land (and boat) using your vehicle, please refer to our post on RORO or Roll On Roll Off optionBoracay Travel by boat. Hope this helps.

24. Hi is it possible to bring hi ace van to boracay? How much woukd it cost?

25. Hello Lannie,

    To save travel time (at least an hour), it is better to go via Bulalacao albeit it’s an additional hour travel time from Calapan, Mindoro. From Bulalacao, it will take you approximately 3 hours to reach Caticlan via FastCat, instead of 5 hours via Roxas. Please see our Boracay travel tips on RORO – Roll On Roll Off options.

26. Hi! Is it better to go to Caticlan through Roxas or Bulalacao?

27. Hello Jazz,

    Thanks for the heads-up. It appears that the company updated their website as it looks different now. Please try checking it again: Boracay Express 24/7

28. Hi Nigel!

    link for 24/7 boat service seems to be not working since I am getting only blank space…(was it only me?)
    do you have other contact information for the 24/7 boat service?

    thank you very much.

29. Hi Cristine,

    Please see our Caticlan or Kalibo airport arrival tips. And check out the 24-hour boat transfers service HERE. Hope you enjoy your stay.

30. Hello Clairol,

    Thanks for your inquiry. See 24-hour boat transfers service HERE.

31. Hi Aliana,

    Tricycles are available 24/7, and yes – there’s a round the clock boat transfers service (see HERE.) Enjoy your stay in Boracay! 🙂

32. Hi! We are travelling to boracay on sep14-18 via kalibo. And we will arrive around 12mn. Is there still aboat traveling to bora around that time? And if we do DIY for transfer can you give me a direction on how to do it ? Thanks

33. Our flight back to clark is october 2, 2017 and ETD @ caticlan is 6;20AM, is it possible too have a ferry from cagban to caticlan around 4am in the morning? And where to reserve.

34. Our flight is 6:20 in the morning at caticlan airport. Is it possible to have a ferry from cagban to caticlan around 4am? And where I can reserve tickets? Thanks

35. Hi. I just wanna ask. I have a flight on caticlan airport 6:25AM on wed and I still don’t know if it is possible to travel from boracay to caticlan that early. Leaving at 4am? Please share me how. It would be a big help. Thank you

36. Hi Kim,

    Yes, you can save up to 50% when you DIY your transfers. Let’s do the math, shall we?

    P50 – Trike from Caticlan Airport to Jetty (good for 3 pax)
    P200 – Terminal Fee (P100/pax X 2)
    P150 – Environmental fee (P75/pax X 2)
    P50 – Boat fare (P25/pax daytime X 2; 5:45pm onwards = P30/pax)
    P120- trike to your resort/hotel
    P570 – TOTAL transfers cost for 2 pax .

    Yep, trikes are available 24/7, so no worries. And just recently, we already have a 24-hour boat service. Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation Kim! 🙂

37. Hi Shovy,

    Yes, there are companies offering transfers to Boracay at the baggage claim area. Some of them include boat fare only (P30/pax – nighttime rate). I would suggest you avail of the “all-in” package inclusive of Terminal and Environmental fees (P100 for terminal + P75 Environmental per pax). If you’re travelling with kids, see current fees HERE.

    Enjoy your stay! 🙂

38. Hi,

    We’re traveling Sept 11-13 to Caticlan, is it difficult to DIY airport transfers? If I solved it right, it’ll just be 600 for 2 persons one way from Caticlan to hotel with fees included? It’s way cheaper than booking online but are there a lot of trikes and boats or do they take turns and have schedule trips? Also, how do you do transfer from hotel to airport? Are there trikes available near the hotels? Thankyou..

39. Hello Nigel,

    We will be going to Boracay on Aug. 4, 2017. According to our flight ticket, we will arrive Kalibo by 6:55pm and knowing that delayed flights is always possible from Manila. Someone told me that once we arrive in Kalibo there are booths of van/bus travel companies that offers 24 hours travel services with boat travel inclusions (on the spot). Is this true? We’re 7 pax and if this true we don’t need to worry for our way going to Boracay even by late night. Thank you so much 🙂

40. Awesome!!! see yah!!!

41. Hello Queen Kitty,

    Thanks for your query. Kalibo-Boracay route is busy with all the flights (both domestic and international) so you won’t be the only one traveling on the road. Inbound flights could be as late as 1 or 2 am (from China, South Korea, etc.). (Check out our tips on what to do upon arrival in Kalibo Airport).

    Travel from Kalibo to Boracay is approximately 2 hours, so you’ll be on the island by 7ish – drop your bags, grab a quick bite, and enjoy Boracay’s nightlife – cheers! 🙂

42. hello Nigel, We will be going to Boracay on Aug 11, and we are arriving in Kalibo at 5pm.,more or less… Is it safe to travel from Kalibo to Boracay at night? If it is, what time are we gonna be in Boracay? Please advise… thanks

43. Hello Hydie,

    Regular boat trips start at 5am, so you have ample time to catch your flight in Caticlan. Enjoy your stay 🙂

44. HI, visiting boracay on aug 26-28,2017 our flight back to manila from caticlan airport is 7:45 am.is there a ferry availble early morning from boracay to caticlan for us to catch our flight?or its better to stay in caticlan by night before?thank you .need info for the the booking of hotel.thank you

45. Hello Chary,

    Thanks for your inquiry. Just spoke with Ms. Lannie of DOT-Boracay (Admin Aide #4) and she informed me that there’s no need to pay for Environmental and Terminal fees again. All you have to do is show the port personnel a copy of your hotel booking confirmation that states the name of hotel/resort and corresponding dates of stay. All listed fees on our website are current. Enjoy your stay in Boracay (and your Antique tour!) 🙂

46. Hello,
    I would like to ask the VALIDITY of the following:
    1. Environmental fee = P75/person (12 yrs old & below = FREE) (- Since its a one time pay, what if we will go on a day tour to explore Antique, do we need to pay again upon entry? Ex. Day 1 pay upon arrival, Day 2 island stay Day 3 leave island and proceed to Antique day tour then back to boracay island again (do we need to pay gaain the environmental fee?), then Day 4 island stay Day 5 back to manila, leaving boracay island again.
    2. Terminal fee = P100/person (5 yrs old & below = FREE)- need to pay upon entry and exit to the island, so what if we leave boracay island on day 3 just so we can do a day tour in Antique then we will be back at night time in boracay island?
    Is there consideration since we booked hotel (accommodation) good for 5 days in boracay island. We just wanted to visit other places. Thanks in advance.

    Pay Every time we need to ride:
    Boat = P25/person (day); P30/person (5:45pm onwards); 8 yrs old & up = FULL; 7 yrs old & below = HALF fare.

47. Hello Ann,

    The months of September and October fall under monsoon season where we can expect heavy rains, especially during a storm. You may encounter flooding or impassable roads while traveling. But we all know that weather is so unpredictable, so expect delays and allow ample time for such. For weather updates, you can check PAGASA.

    Check out AirBnB for house rentals, or easily compare hotel nightly rates for other accommodation options.

    Have a safe and happy travel Ann! 🙂

48. Hi Hanie, Is it safe to travel Manila to Caticlan by land on September or October? Is it easy to find a house for rent there instead of hotel?

49. Hi Hanie,

    P50 peso tricycle fare from Caticlan Airport to Jetty is good for 3 persons.

50. Is the 50 pesos tricycle fare going to Caticlan Jetty Port good for only one person?

51. Hi Cris,

    You will have to pay upon exit the terminal fee only. Environmental fee payment is done once upon entry. Hope you had a blast! 🙂

52. Do we have to pay again if we go home the terminal fee and environmental fee from Boracay to Kalibo?

53. Hello Nathalie,

    The port assignment is entirely dependent on the weather (or how big the waves are). If the coast guard sees that regular outrigger (banca) can’t handle the waves (especially during “Habagat” months of June-October), they assign the appropriate port (in this case, Tabon). Only regular bancas ply the route Tabon-Tambisaan (the other entry point in Boracay). Oyster Ferry and Boracay Express boats only serve Caticlan-Cagban route. Enjoy your Boracay stay! 🙂

54. Hi! We’re travelling to Boracay on weekends. So most likely we’re heading to Tabon Jetty Port. Do you know what ferry are we going to ride? Thanks.

55. Hey Joshua,

    Please see 24-hour boat service schedule or provider’s contact details HERE. Hope you had a blast!

56. hi! our flight back to manila from caticlan is 6am. is there a boat from cagban to caticlan at around 4am?

57. Hello Ysay,

    You can take a tricycle or e-trike from Cagban (South) to dmall (Central) or Station 1 (North) for P120, Multicab is P250, while aircon van is P500. If there are more than 5 of you, I suggest you take the multicab or van for more space for your luggage and more comfort.

    If you’re staying beyond Station 1, rates would go up by P50/destination. Yapak is the northernmost area of Boracay (Shangri-la, Alta Vista, Puka Beach, etc.) and maximum rates are P150-200 for e-trike or tricycle, P450-multicab, P700-van. Hope this helps and enjoy your summer vacation! 🙂

58. From cagban jetty port to hotel or d mall.. how is the transportation? And how much does it usually cost? Thanks!

59. Hello Paul,

    Thanks for your email. Please find Boracay fees below:

    Environmental = P75/person (12 yrs old & below = FREE)
    Terminal = P100/person (5 yrs old & below = FREE)
    Boat = P25/person (day); P30/person (5:45pm onwards); 8 yrs old & up = FULL; 7 yrs old & below = HALF fare.

    Enjoy your family vacation 🙂

60. hi, full na ba ang bayad ng kids (11-1yrs.old) para sa terminal , environmental and boat fee? thanks!

61. Hello Luz,

    Caticlan Jetty Port operates 24 hours due to its night navigation/RORO trips to/from Batangas, Mindoro, Romblon, etc. Caticlan to Cagban(Boracay) on the other hand has irregular schedule due to limited boats w/night navigation license. I would suggest you book your transfers ahead of time with either Island Star or Southwest. Or you can check out the website of the latest provider Boracay Express, it says “24-hour” service. – Happy travels!

62. Hi! Is Jetty Port opens 24 hours? or there is a a specific operating hours only? thanks!

63. Please check this listing:
    pet-friendly Boracay hotels

    Hope this helps.

64. Hi, we’re bringing along our medium sized dog (crossed breed Pomeranian). Are there hotels in Bora that allow pet dogs? Thanks!

65. Hello Kay,

    Yes, you need to pay the terminal fee upon entry and exit (P100/person/way). The environmental fee is a one-time payment upon entry. We hope you enjoyed your stay.

66. Hello. Going back from boracay to caticlan airport to manila, do we need to pay terminal and environmental fee again?
