Boracay\\&#8217;s famous White Beach is one of Southeast Asia\\&#8217;s finest stretches of sand, and the route is well-served with multiple daily flights. This guide covers all your options.<\/p>\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/agent.12go.asia\/tools\/widget\/country_widget.js\"><\/script>\n<onetwogo-country-widget\n  country=\"PH\"\n   width=\"400\" agent=\"16173966\" lang=\"en\" fxcode=\"USD\" wl=\"12go.asia\">\n<\/onetwogo-country-widget>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x2708;&#xfe0f; <strong>[Travelpayouts Kiwi widget: Flights MNL \u2192 MPH (Caticlan) or MNL \u2192 KLO (Kalibo)]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Fly to Caticlan (MPH) \u2014 Closest, Most Convenient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia all fly from Manila (NAIA) to Caticlan (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, MPH) \u2014 approximately 1 hour, fares from ~$40\u2013100 USD. From Caticlan Airport, take a tricycle to the jetty (~10 minutes, ~50 PHP), then a short bangka boat to Boracay\\&#8217;s Cagban jetty (~10\u201315 minutes, ~100 PHP + terminal fees ~75 PHP). You\\&#8217;re on the island in under 30 minutes from landing. Book well ahead for December\u2013May peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x2708;&#xfe0f; <strong>[Travelpayouts Kiwi widget: Flights MNL \u2192 MPH Caticlan\/Boracay]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Fly to Kalibo (KLO) \u2014 Cheaper Fares, Longer Transfer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cebu Pacific and AirAsia fly from Manila to Kalibo (KLO) \u2014 approximately 1 hour, fares from ~$20\u201360 USD. From Kalibo Airport, take a shared shuttle bus to Caticlan jetty (~2 hours, ~180\u2013250 PHP), then the bangka to Boracay. Total approximately 3.5 hours from wheels-down to beach. Worth considering when Caticlan is sold out or fares are significantly higher, especially during Chinese New Year and peak Christmas\u2013New Year period when Caticlan seats vanish weeks ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x2708;&#xfe0f; <strong>[Travelpayouts Kiwi widget: Flights MNL \u2192 KLO Kalibo]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#x2139;&#xfe0f; Every visitor to Boracay pays an environmental fee of ~350 PHP at the Cagban jetty terminal. Have cash ready \u2014 it\\&#8217;s not always card-friendly. Also, Boracay requires a tourist registration (TARA) which may be collected at the jetty or nearby; your hotel can assist if not done online in advance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Option<\/th><th>Time<\/th><th>Cost from<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Fly to Caticlan<\/td><td>~1.5 hours total<\/td><td>~$40 USD<\/td><td>Convenience, most travelers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fly to Kalibo + bus<\/td><td>~3.5 hours total<\/td><td>~$22 USD<\/td><td>Budget, backup option<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay in Boracay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f3e8; <strong>[Travelpayouts Hotellook\/Agoda widget: Hotels in White Beach, Boracay]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f3e8; <strong>[Travelpayouts Hotellook\/Agoda widget: Hotels in Bulabog Beach, Boracay]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/cebu-to-boracay\/\">Cebu to Boracay<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/manila-to-cebu\/\">Manila to Cebu<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/manila-to-el-nido\/\">Manila to El Nido<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.
