How to go to Boracay

(via Iloilo)

Going to Boracay from Iloilo is easy as one, two, three.

At Iloilo you have to go to Tagbak Terminal, then ride Ceres bus that have a route to Caticlan.
You have to pay P350/pax, that is 5-6 hours ride.

When you arrive at Caticlan, you could choose a fast craft or a boat to go to Boracay.

for fast craft you have to pay (15-20 mins ride):
- 30Php/pax for fare
- 50Php/pax for terminal fee
- 75Php/pax for environmental fee

for boat you have to pay (10-15 mins ride):
- 25Php/pax for fare
- 50Php/pax for terminal fee
- 75Php/pax for environmental fee

Then when you arrived at Boracay you have to ride tricycle to go to your hotel or cottages. You have to pay 20Php/pax.

We stayed at St. Vincent Cottages located at station 2. We got a room 1200Php(off peak season) that is good for 4-5 pax, cheap isn't it?

You could also go to Guimaras its only 15 min ride of boat from Iloilo and only costs you 15Php/pax.
