Reasons to Visit Boracay Island ASAP

From being named as one of the best islands in the world to its rehabilitation last year, the Island of Boracay is no longer a stranger to everyone.

Not only that it ring bells to tourists who want to have a dreamy tropical vacation, but also to everyone that is pushing for sustainable tourism. Some had already seen the improved Boracay after months of being closed but the government is still at its full effort to maintain its beauty.

So no more holding back and join the hype, not to miss this small yet award-winning destination in the Philippines!

Getting to Boracay

Located on the northwest tip of Panay Island, easily reach Boracay Island via Aklan’s 2 major airports. Flights bound to Kalibo International Airport (KLO) may be cheaper, however; travel time from here going to Boracay takes longer. After your flight, you have to take an hour and 45 minutes drive going to Caticlan Jetty Port.

While on the other hand, there is Godofredo P. Ramos Airport also known as Caticlan Airport. It may be smaller than KLO but it's nearer to Boracay, which means lesser travel time! You just have to take a 10 minutes drive going to Caticlan Jetty Port.

Then from Caticlan Jetty Port, you need to take a 10-15 minutes ferry ride going to Cagban Port (Boracay Island port of entry/exit) and an approximately 20 minutes drive going to your accommodation.
