One of the more interesting places in the Philippines is Boracay Island. In fact, Boracay Island is not big, but this place has some relatively beautiful scenery. Today I want to talk to you about the traffic situation here.

Transportation

Fly directly from Guangzhou to Kalibo. Take a bus from Kalibo Airport for about an hour and a half to the pier, then take a 20-minute boat ride to the island. After arriving on the island, take a car to the hotel. It is quite a hassle, but the scenery of Boracay is worth it.

The main transportation on the island is crab boats and three-wheeled motorcycles. There is no public transportation system in Boracay, so there is no public transportation system on the island. They are all crab boats. You can take a three-wheeled motorcycle on the island. You can only drive on the main road (Main Road) and not on the seaside trail (White Beach Path). You can stop when you wave. S1 goes to Puka Beach for 200 pesos for two people

Boracay is a very small island, so small that there is no airport on it! To go to Boracay, you can only fly to the nearest island and then take a boat. In the past.

There are two airports on this island, one is called Caticlan and the other is called Kalibo.

Route 2: Domestic-Manila-Caticlan Airport-Caticlan Pier- —Boracay Pier—Hotel. You can also fly directly from Manila to Caticlan Airport in one hour, and then take a boat to Boracay. However, because this airport is a small airport, flights and aircraft types are limited. Generally speaking, air tickets are difficult to buy and relatively expensive.

Tips:

If you have enough time, please pay special attention to it. The terminals at Manila Airport are all separate. If you need to change terminals when transferring, you need to take an airport bus or take a taxi. When arriving at Manila Airport, you must first confirm which terminal you are in and the next section. Which terminal the flight is at will be stated on your ticket order which terminal you are arriving at and which terminal you are departing from. It is recommended to reserve time for your transfer to Boracay Island in advance. You won’t be confused when you arrive at the airport.

How to get from Manila to Boracay

For domestic international flights to Manila, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines arrive at T1, Philippine Airlines is at T2, and AirAsia’s international flights are. and Cebu are T3;

As for flying from Manila to Boracay, AirAsia departs from T4, Cebu is from T3, and Philippine Airlines is from T2.

However, it cannot be ruled out that it will change in the future. , or the information on the ticket order shall prevail.

If you want to transfer to the terminal, the first choice is of course to take the shuttle bus. The most important thing is: it is free! Free! Free!!

After arriving at the airport, there will be There is a sign: TerminalTransfer. Just recognize this sign and follow the arrow. Then you will go to a transfer hall (you need to register your next flight information before you can enter, and you can go to the other three terminals. The shuttle bus is all waiting in the same hall. When the bus arrives, someone will ask you to get on.

But there is a slight drawback. The arrival time of the shuttle bus is uncertain, and it does not arrive on time or at half time. I tried to wait for the shuttle bus around three in the afternoon, and then waited for more than an hour. The bus didn’t arrive until after four o’clock! Fortunately, my flight was after seven o’clock in the evening. If you have enough transfer time, you can wait slowly. , I also tried to wait for less than ten minutes, and the shuttle bus came. Therefore, if you go to the transfer hall to wait for the shuttle bus, it is best to ask the staff how long it will take for the shuttle bus to arrive. If you are in a hurry, just Just go up and fight.

If you arrive on an early morning flight, you need to take an early morning flight the next day. The earliest shuttle bus leaves at 5 a.m. I also tried staying at the airport overnight and taking the 5 a.m. ferry. You can take the bus to change terminals, and then catch the 7 a.m. flight. It’s totally in time, because it usually takes less than ten minutes to change terminals~~

If you want to take a taxi, remember to call The driver told me to use a bymeter. There are many unscrupulous drivers at the airport, so be careful of getting ripped off.
