Boracay

Boracay Island is one of the Philippines’ own jewels, located in Western Visayas. Shaped like a sand shovel, its form is a fitting image to the island’s pristine, fine White Sand Beach.

While Boracay is yet to be fully reawakened from its recent restoration, remnants of new constructions may still be seen. Nevertheless, the island is quickly being brought back to life with young restaurants that serve the freshest and the most sumptuous food, resorts that face the most beautiful sunset, activities that awaken the adventurous soul in you, and a nightlife slowly rising into being one of the best in the country.

Join Philippine Primer as we take you to the new Boracay we have all been waiting for.

Getting to Boracay

There are two ports of entry for visitors of Boracay:

Manila (MNL) to Caticlan Airport (MPH)

Caticlan Airport is usually more preferred than Kalibo Airport because it is closer to Caticlan Jetty Port. However, airfares are usually higher.

Manila (MNL) to Kalibo Airport (KLO)

From KLO, you have to take a two to three-hour van ride to Caticlan Jetty Port, which costs P200/head.
