Van 4 hours Full passenger Php400.00

5: Caticlan to Boracay Island: Ride a Boat from Caticlan to Boracay Island.

Caticlan Port to Boracay Port – The Jetty Port has Bangka pump boats that ferry between the Caticlan mainland and Boracay Island from 5:00 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening. . The Bangka trip is 30  however non-residents also pay a 75 PHP Environmental fee, and a 100 PHP Terminal fee.
Thats actually sounds very tiring and a very long journey, But I enjoy it if waiting and lots of waiting is not for you then I would not recommend it.


Leave in Cagayan de oro Evening  it takes around 8 hours via Trans Asia ferry, Arrived at Cebu in the morning, It was a very smooth journey, Boarded on ferry around 5:00 pm although it leaves around 7:00 pm, The sunset was beautiful really good to see, Although could not sleep, As i'm not very comfortable I was in economy accommodation and the one beside me snoring so loud,  and Im also not used to sleep while i can feel the moved.So spent all night in the Bar, having some drinks.

Arrived Cebu City in the morning and took a bus from Cebu to Bacolod,The Travel time is 6-8 hours, possibly more depending on the barge.Was so tired due to sleepless nights while on the ferry, I fall asleep on the journey, When I woke up, I was amazed by the breathtaking views from the outside. 




Arrived Bacolod and took a ferry from Bacolod to Ilo Ilo. Oh this is nightmare, The ferry was so small and over loaded, Plus the weather wasn't really cooperating that time, So made myself sick while on the boat, But I did survived, Thankfully :) 







Arrived Ilo- Ilo took a jeepney from the port to the bus terminal,for only 8 pesos they will bring you to the Tagbak Terminal, But I realized I would not be able to get to Caticlan on time so I told the jeepney driver to just bring me to the nearest pensione house to sleep for a night,In the morning took a bus from Ilo Ilo to Caticlan. Lucky enough found a friend that is heading to Boracay as well, So it made my long bus journey from Ilo Ilo to Caticlan more Interesting and enjoyable.It was a long 6 hours journey.But then again the views outside is beautiful.








Finally Arrived Caticlan, Bought my ticket for ferry, They called it Pambot, Its only 25 pesos but you have to pay terminal fee, 50 Php and Environmental fee which is 75 pesos, so that is around 150 pesos all in all.Ferry ride took 20 minutes, wasnt that far. So finally arrived Boracay, I spent  4 days in this beautiful Island, Would I do the land Travel again? probably not,Ill tell you it was really risky,and tiring, but if you are up for an adventure, then why not? 





I Decide to just fly on my way back home could not do that long trip again.lol
