Caticlan Airport – A Little Background
If you do not know it yet, there are two main gateway you can fly in to get to Boracay – Kalibo International Airport and Caticlan Airport. Caticlan Airport is the closest to Boracay, however since this is a smaller airport with a shorter runway (less than 1 kilometer), only smaller planes can land and there is a sunset limitation. Meaning all planes are not allowed to land and take-off in the evening.
On Arrival at Caticlan Airport
After you receive all your luggage, you can head out of the small airport and from there you’ll see a line up of van and tricycles that take passengers to Caticlan Jetty. The ride to Caticlan Jetty would take around 10 to 15 minutes only.
Caticlan Jetty to Cagban Port

All tourist coming in Boracay needs to pay a Terminal Fee of Php 100 and Environmental Fee of Php 75.
