Flying to Boracay and unsure on how to get to the island from Kalibo Airport? Then, read on as we show you on the easiest way to get to Boracay.
Landing at Kalibo International Airport
Kalibo airport is in the capital city of Aklan in the Visayas. It is the bigger airport compared to Caticlan and it can accommodate larger aircrafts.
As you step out of Kalibo Airport, you will see rows of stalls where various tour operators offer different travel packages – bus or van ride to Caticlan Jetty and ferry across to Boracay. Be mindful of which tour operators you choose as some are sold by middle-men who tops up a fee to the original price. We do recommend that you book your transfers well in advance so you can be whisk straight to the bus/van. Travel time from Kalibo Airport to Boracay island is approximately 2 hours.
